About
Melanin Bee
“Laughter wasn't just a choice; it was my lifeline.”
Melanin Bee’s journey into somatic laughter began later in life, but her trauma was triggered from the beginning of motherhood, while caregiving. Faced with the weight of personal trauma and the demands of caring for others, she discovered that traditional talk therapy wasn't enough; she needed a biological release. By reparenting her inner child through the medicine of laughter, she transformed her own nervous system and deepened her practice as a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. Today, she shares Laughastè 21 as a lived testimony: a proprietary system born from the necessity of releasing trauma and reclaiming regulation in real-time.
"Oowee, let me Laughastè.
The Laughastè Six Pillars
Laughastè is a somatic regulation ecosystem and professional modality designed to build the infrastructure of joy within high-stress environments. Founded by Melanin Bee, Laughastè bridges the gap between clinical nervous system regulation and the biological power of intentional laughter.
The Practice
The Laughastè Yoga is a somatic laughter-based yoga flow. 21 specific asanas designed to discharge secondary traumatic stress and stimulate the Vagus Nerve.
Narrative Wellness
A therapeutic narrative that helps children and adults externalize stress.
The story of the Laughing Light encourages you to laugh and shine your light.
Social Connection
Laughastè Out Loud is a laughter-based card game that utilizes expressive laughter to build trust and social connectivity.
Sound Therapy | The Frequency
Sound is a direct gateway to the Vagus Nerve. We use the frequency of song to anchor the "Oowee" state deep into the cellular memory, allowing the body to "hum" its way back to calm.
The Sensory Anchor
The Laughastè Spray is a Sensory Anchor Spray, an aromatherapy tool designed to bypass the thinking brain and trigger immediate felt safety.
The Spirit
A philosophy rooted in 'The Laughing Light," honoring the inherent light within every individual and using laughter as a bridge to embodied joy.
Where laughter and resilience meet regulation.
Drawing from personal experience, clarity, and transformation, Melanin is empowering individuals to understand the significance of intentional laughter. Serving as the protective gear for high-stress settings. Melanin teaches "The Oowee Reset" as an effective real-time regulation protocol.
Melanin's work is delivered through speaking, workshops, and multi-week experiences (short- or long-term), designed to meet organizations where they are while helping them to Laughaste and regulate. Her approach is honest, trauma-informed, and direct, creating spaces where clarity replaces chaos.
Whether speaking on stage or leading transformational work inside organizations, Melanin's mission remains the same: to help people learn the power of intentional laughter and somatic healing.
