Dawn Thurmond
Happiness Creator. Joy finder. Helping you reconnect with your joy.
Dawn Thurmond is a powerhouse of positivity and inspiration. She has proclaimed her purpose in life to be a happiness creator and joy finder. And boy does she find it! Since becoming a Laughter Coach in 2010, she has worked with folks throughout North America to help reduce stress in their lives and more importantly, find joy in everyday life.
No one else is more suited to guide people down this path than Dawn; she knows a thing or two about stress AND living life with intention. For most of her son’s life, she was a single mom dealing with mom things and his significant special and medical needs. With mettle, hope and laughter, Dawn evolved from being a single mom on public assistance, to a successful business leader and advocate. Her resilience has led her from being a mom on the verge of a melt down to a woman helping others discover their joy. With authenticity and humor, audiences love her ability to teach the impact of adjusting your perspective and the power of living with intention to uncover the joy in life.
A testament to her teachings, Dawn has had to adjust and refine some of those tools in her own life, having lost her son, Zachary, unexpectedly in 2021. Dawn’s work has always been inspired by Zachary and continues because of him. His light pushes her to spread a message of joy.
