You’re a part of our origin story!
Picture it. 1990-something. Elle’s childhood friends, Nikki and Kristi, lived on opposite coasts, never crossing paths. The then-strangers unknowingly shared eerily similar childhoods and later pursued degrees in mental health (which they both swear has nothing to do with their friendship with Elle, but I digress…).
Fast forward to adulthood: While Nikki and Kristi were busy getting their master’s degrees and starting their own practices, Elle took a different route — she got her BA in marketing and graphic design while navigating life with ADHD and what she now calls her “many once-in-a-lifetime traumas,” which she continues to process through therapy. Elle then began to take those hard-earned experiences to coach others, blending humor, authenticity, and practical life tools to help them find their path to healing.
Since then… There came a point when Elle realized that her two childhood friends had a lot in common and had somehow never met! After several chats and trauma dumps, they discovered they all shared the same go-to coping mechanism—laughter and irreverent humor. That sparked a whole conversation about how frustrated they were by the lack of quality mental health resources that embraced their raw, funny approach to healing…
So, they did what any self-respecting overachievers would do: they created their own.
TL;DR: Three friends got together and Humor and Healing Co. was born.

Co-Founder
Elle is a mom of three, mental health advocate, and creative powerhouse with a knack for turning chaos into connection. Living with ADHD herself, she combines humor, authenticity, and lived experience to coach others as they navigate the complexities of neurodivergence, mental health, parenthood, and everything else that goes along with being a human. With a background in graphic design and a passion for advocacy, Elle uses her life experiences to connect with, uplift, and empower others. Her work is a testament to the power of humor, resilience, and embracing life’s beautifully messy moments.
When she isn’t working, she enjoys going on adventures with her kids, husband, and friends, listening to true crime podcasts, and starting (keyword here is “starting” lol) some creative projects.
*To the best of our knowledge MNOP is not a license, certification, etc. Say it with her name first and you will see that we are, in fact, funny. That or sleep-deprived. Or both. Either way, it’s staying. :)

Growth shouldn’t feel like a performance. At Humor and Healing Co. we are building community for humans who feel out of place in traditional mental health & wellness spaces. We skip the clichés and bring humor, honesty, and humanity to healing.
Every resource here is created by professionals with real credentials and lived experiences, designed to remind you that you’re not alone and that you deserve to live fully (without pretending everything is okay). You’ll find expert-crafted eBooks, online courses, and memberships with fun perks - and we have plans for upcoming in-person retreats and wellness workshops that actually vibe with you.
If your trauma response is often laughter, you’re over toxic positivity and you crave raw authenticity, you’ve found your people.
Our philosophy
Laughter isn’t just optional; it’s essential. It empowers us to confront life’s toughest moments with courage and humility.
We believe authentic connections thrive when we know when to be serious and when to embrace lightheartedness.
