Episode 53 | March 27, 2025
Can laughter really change your life? NLP Master Practitioner and Hypnotherapist Gwendelyn Irey reveals the profound healing power of laughter, mindset shifts, and personal transformation.
On this episode of the Trauma & Transcendence Podcast, we welcome Gwendelyn Irey, a transformational coach specializing in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, Success Coaching, and Laughter Yoga. With a deep passion for helping others step into their power, Gwendelyn shares how humor, hypnosis, and personal resilience can be game-changers in healing and self-discovery.
Meet Gwendelyn Irey: Hypnotherapist, Coach & Laughter Yoga Leader
Gwendelyn’s journey into the healing arts began in childhood, as she sought answers beyond her difficult upbringing. Turning to books on hypnosis, tarot, and meditation, she started exploring the subconscious mind long before she pursued formal training. Today, she blends her expertise in hypnosis, mindset coaching, and laughter therapy to guide others in overcoming self-doubt, perfectionism, and past trauma.
She is also a strong advocate for laughter yoga, a practice that uses intentional laughter to boost mood, release tension, and promote resilience. Gwendelyn believes that laughter is one of the most underutilized tools for transformation, and she has led impactful laughter sessions at conferences, corporate events, and community gatherings.
