Terms of Use
Who We Are
This website is operated by Heidi Barkwell, doing business as Laughing Wellness, in Alberta, Canada. By using the site, joining the email list, or purchasing a program, you agree to these terms.
Educational Programs
All programs, sessions, recordings, and materials are educational wellness experiences and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Please read the Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms. You are responsible for deciding whether a program is appropriate for you and for participating within your own physical limits.
Purchases, Prices, and Payment
Prices are shown in the currency stated at checkout. When online checkout is available, payment is due at the time of purchase. Program dates, session times, and inclusions are described on the program page at the time of purchase. Live sessions are recorded where stated, and recordings are provided for personal use only.
The First-Session Guarantee
For the 21-Day D.O.S.E. Reset: attend the first live session of your cohort. Rate your state from 1 to 10 at the start of the session, and again at the end. If your own rating has not changed, email heidi@heidibarkwell.com with the word "refund" within 48 hours of that first session, and you will receive a full refund of the program price. You may keep the Red-Zone Rescue Kit. This guarantee applies to your first live session only, and it is a satisfaction guarantee, not a guarantee of any health outcome. Other refund terms, where they apply, are stated on the program page.
Cancellations and Scheduling
Live cohorts run on scheduled dates. If Laughing Wellness cancels a cohort, you will receive a full refund or the option to transfer to the next available cohort. Workplace and event bookings are governed by the written booking confirmation for that engagement.
Your Conduct
Live sessions and communities are shared spaces. Be kind. Laughing Wellness may remove anyone who is disruptive, abusive, or unsafe to others, without refund, at its reasonable discretion.
Intellectual Property
The Laughing Wellness name, the D.O.S.E. Method, P.L.A.Y., the Cool Tools, the book, the recordings, the written materials, and the photographs on this site belong to Heidi Barkwell or are used with permission. Laughter Yoga is a trademark of Laughter Yoga International and is referenced only as a credential.
