Founded by Barbara Leggett, a certified professional happiness coach, the mission of the Happiness Center of WNY is to create more happiness within individuals and organizations. Programs highlight skills, attitudes and activities that can bring more happiness into our lives. Activities and services at East Aurora Acupuncture and Center for Wellbeing complement the mission of more happiness.

Unlike temporary elation, true happiness is a deep abiding peace and acceptance of our lives.  It makes the hard times easier and the good times better. It opens our eyes to new perspectives and possibilities – thus building our successes.  Rather than focus on a goal (when I’m rich, when I get this job…), it focuses on the paths we walk. It focuses on the journey.

The big question is “How do I find Happiness?” And it’s like the old joke… the same way you eat an elephant… one bite at a time. Becoming happier is a lifetime process where we all learn, move forward and grow. We all have the potential to be happier and more successful every day.  Programs, coaching, and various practices can help you continually become hooked on a happiness.

“Working with Barbara has given shape and reality to a multitude of ideas I had been considering for a while.  She listened intently and then helped me come up with specific goals as well as the daily steps to take to reach them.  Committing to her process got me off the starting block and into the race.”

“Before engaging with Barbara as my life coach, I was struggling with my career decisions. Barbara put me to work on sorting through and finding new options. She helped me to gain a sense of confidence in making difficult decisions and a level of happiness in my career and in my life that I previously did not find on my own.”
