A retired registered nurse, Herrick has taught hundreds of thousands worldwide how laughter can help them lead happier and healthier lives. Her life experiences—from being widowed at age 27, to her career as a registered nurse, to serving as a clown ambassador bringing “mirth aid” to rescue workers at Ground Zero after 9/11—provide her with an endless resource of stories illustrating her philosophy that humor is truly the best medicine.
