Chinwe Emegokwue is passionate about healthy living and helping others to experience love and joy through opening their hearts irrespective of their situation at any point of their being.
In her teens, she had a health challenge that both herbal and orthodox medicines could not crack, that lingered until her mid-fifties when she came in contact with Energy Medicine. In this field, she learned the effect of negative energy on health and every aspect of one’s life. This helped her to reprogram her thoughts. With this, her healing started gradually which has continued till her pains were completely alleviated.
In her healing journey, she realized that opening the heart is the first step to everything required for healthy living. Her journey to Happy For No Reason

Wong Kah Lai: Nurturing Happiness and Resilience in Children
Wong Kah Lai is a certified Happy For No Reason trainer, known for her bubbly and easy-going personality. She has achieved considerable success in her field, working closely with children and stakeholders dedicated to their well-being. Her natural rapport with kids is often described as magical. With deep roots in Early Years education, Kah Lai moves seamlessly between classrooms, lecture theatres, and conferences, sharing her knowledge, expertise, and occasionally her research findings with others who share her passion.
In 2020, recognizing the developmental challenges caused by the Covid pandemic for young children, Kah Lai founded Intrinsic Learning. As an Academic Coach, she addressed the gaps inadvertently created by the crisis. While many parents and educators focused on academic achievement and progress, Kah Lai prioritized children’s emotional and social well-being, as well as their stress levels.
Her approach to academic coaching allows her to incorporate a tailored mix of coping strategies, resilience training, and happiness education into her work with children. Kah Lai is equally comfortable communicating in English and Chinese/Mandarin, while her young—and sometimes teenage—clients encourage her to pick up bits of Spanish, French, and other languages.

Karen's Bio
Hi I’m Karen MacKenzie and I’ve been on a journey all my life. However, I had an awakening when I was around 38, and since then I’ve been gathering tools, knowledge, learning, understanding, information and studying things like Positive Psychology and I don’t know if you ever experienced that moment when everything comes together; when someone appears and puts it all in a framework and contextualises it and synchronicity and congruence are like flashing lights in your head and heart?
That was what it was like for me when I become one of Marcie’s students on the Happy for No Reason Trainer Course.
I had spent years saying, “I’ll teach what I know when…” but never had that when, till Happy for No Reason and Marci Shimoff entered my life. It was a moment I’ll treasure forever. It was life-changing. Bless you, Marci.
