Giggle On!™ was started in 2008 as a call to action to embrace joyful mojo and laugh with wild abandon.
Giggle On! was inspired by the phrase, Get Your Giggle On, which simply means: LAUGH & HAVE FUN!
Laughter is your birthright – claim it!
Hi. My name is Christa. This is my personal site and it is a labor of love, my gift to the world.
I am not a stand-up comic (or Wonder Woman) but I love to encourage people to laugh. I joke around a lot, enjoy silliness, kazoos, whoopie cushions and props of all shapes and sizes. I recently became a Laughter Yoga Leader and know how to make you laugh without telling a single joke (good thing cause I never remember a punchline).
I am on a mission to cure people from the disease called CGDS, Chronic Giggle Deficiency Syndrome (which is caused by a variety of things like depression, stress, anxiety, grief or illness).
Stress less. Laugh More.
This site started as a way for me to share my personal story of depression, grief and transformation after a friend’s suicide. Since starting the site in the spring of 2008, I lost another friend to suicide – this one inspired the name “Giggle On”.
I don’t use laughter, humor & playfulness to cover up the pain of loss, depression or stress. I use it to help transcend the pain, lift my spirits, exercise my bodies & relax my minds.
Laughter (the best medicine outside a bottle) is a transformational holistic healing power uniting the mind, body and spirit, at least that’s what I believe.
In the pages of this site lies my personal story. I am not a therapist or a shrink. I’m just a chick on a personal journey of learning and laughter.
WHY Giggle On?
- Laughter helps us recover from illness and strengthens our immune system;
- It brings people together and breaks down barriers;
- Giggling releases endorphins (natural pain killers) and serotonin (natural feel good chemicals);
- A good guffaw helps us feel younger and more alive;
- Ha-ha-ing increases circulation and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout your body;
- Laughing relieves stress AND…
- It is contagious, has no side effects, does not need FDA approval and it is Fat-free, Tax-Free and Calorie-Free!!! What more could you want (aside from thinner thighs and a bigger bank account)?
Giggle: The Foundation for Full Blown Laughter
When we see something funny or cute, we might let out a little baby giggle.
That precious little giggle is the foundation – the first step toward full blown laughter!
The giggle is an expression of joy and a way that love manifests in your life.
Sharing goodness, love and laughter with you makes my heart smile!
My close friends and associates call me a comedian, a Giggle coach and a cheerleader (minus the pom-poms and the short skirt – thank the Lord for that) but really, I am just Christa.
Even if you have felt the loss of a loved one, experienced the pain of physical ailments or suffered from deep and long lasting depression, it is possible to learn to laugh, love and smile again.
- Dream Big.
- Believe.
- Be Playful.
- Giggle.
- Love.
- Laugh.
Everything is gonna be alright.

Useless facts about me: I love purple, hate the color pink, drive a pick-up truck, love Buffalo wing sauce (but don’t really like chicken), hate online dating but love the internet (my new addiction – hi honey, I’m home) and think my dog Rosie is the coolest pooch ever.
Welcome and please, Giggle On!™
