Using laughter to remain physically and mentally healthy during the time of chemotherapy, she eventually became trained as a certified laughter leader. For the past 18+ years she has taught the health and well-being benefits of laughter to numerous organizations and venues. She founded The Laugh Doctor to continue this important and life-changing work.

Dr. Horwitch is dedicated to leading workshops that harness the healing power of laughter and improv exercises, consulting with organizations about the well-being of their staff members, and facilitating strategic planning meetings for professional teams to promote effective collaboration. However, her goals remain unchanged: empowering individuals with the tools and skills to take charge of their own health.
