“A great experience and boost to my confidence. I can proudly say I passed my test so thank you for everything.”

I’m so grateful to have attended the Brainfit classes at St Martins. The resources were generous, and I especially enjoyed the memory techniques—like using the alphabet for word recall and fun mnemonics for things like cranial nerves. I’ve started naturally using these tools in everyday life and I’ve learned that I enjoy using pictures and shapes to help me recall things. The other day, someone gave me a website URL and I didn’t have a pen—but I instantly found myself making connections to remember it. And I still remember it! Most importantly, I’ve also noticed a more positive way of connecting with others. Thank you so much!

”Wonderful Brainfit to Drive course – I really enjoyed the whole lecture and certainly learnt a whole new aspect of the cognitive tests.”

“Tried out name recall using focus – connect-rehearse at an art auction. In each case I focused on a specific facial characteristic, I immediately used their name back to them and connected them to some aspect of their art. I remembered their names and was able to use them as I said “Goodbye” at the end of the evening. Their reaction to hearing their name was definitely positive (not just for me!).”

“It’s lovely to be able to call people by name too. (And it pleases me to remember where I read or heard something.) Such small joys but they all add up. THANK YOU.”

“Veronique, this was a most fabulous course which I think is relevant to anyone of any age. I was a little nervous about attending, but it was very empowering to be taught how to enhance brain health and memory. The course was really well structured, illustrating and reinforcing how the memory works and you made it interesting and fun.”

I have gained a lot of knowledge working alongside Brainfit. The knowledge learnt paired up with application has been life changing. Small steps is all that I had to start with but the more I practiced the better I became. And It is interesting, in hindsight to recognise that, for me, that cloak of reluctance and a sense of ‘can’t be bothered’ followed me round for a while with some games and cognitive exercises. But I remained resilient with one foot in front of the other, and the outcome was immensely rewarding. For example, I had never done sudoku because I considered it too hard. I do two a day now because I find it enjoyable. Merging is my new word for just adding an exercise to the equation when waiting for the washing machine to finish. Standing in a line memorising interesting facts etc.

Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and change, is around us every day. That is an amazing opportunity . High five to the brain and to you for practising.

“This has been such a reassuring course – great to know there are lots of ways I can keep my brain active and sharpen my memory.”

“Before the golf club meeting, I visualized the people I might meet and ran their names through my mind. I could ‘see’ them. This helped me recognize people and their names quickly. I also used the focus – connect strategy when I met a new club member. I listened to his name, used it when I replied and introduced him to another friend almost straight away. It works – I proved it!”

“These classes have helped me find specific areas I need to work on to help with my concussion-related injury. Thank you so much”

We had such great feedback from your Brainfit session and it was definitely a highlight for many. Thank you so much for bringing not only your story and energy to the room, but giving us all some sound, practical and achievable advice and solutions. The wellbeing of our people is so important, and your session was so valuable.

“I am thoroughly enjoying Memory Tune. It has become part of my day. I am already feeling more alert and confident. I can remember all the images and the words from the first Tune of a week ago!”

“I wanted to say a big thank you for the recent Brainfit At Work session you led with my team. The way you seamlessly blended scientific knowledge with real-world applications allowed us to grasp the concepts in a tangible way. Your passion for the subject matter and your engaging presentation style made the experience all the more enriching.

What stood out the most was the universal resonance of your session. It wasn’t just about absorbing information; it was about recognizing the potential for growth and improvement within ourselves. Your ability to touch upon areas that everyone could relate to created a sense of unity and shared purpose and we are genuinely grateful for the opportunity to learn from you.”

“Jude’s presentation on the Brainfit At Work programme was a highlight for our August 2023 Workforce Development Day. With over 90 attendees ranging in age from their early twenties through to their late sixties, there was information that resonated for all and practical tips that could be implemented without cost to make a real difference. You could hear a pin drop during Jude’s session and the chatter that continued amongst the team for the remainder of the week, sharing reflections and key takeouts, highlighted just how valuable everyone found it. Thank you Jude – you were superb.”

I am thoroughly enjoying the course and find it very beneficial, so thank you.

“I wanted to again extend my gratitude for the remarkable Brainfit At Work session you led at the Summit. Your session was undeniably one of the highlights for so many of us, and it left a lasting impact on all those who attended. Your ability to distil complex concepts into practical takeaways was truly impressive. The insights you shared during the Brainfit session resonated with each of us on a personal and professional level. It was as if a lightbulb had illuminated, revealing new perspectives and actionable strategies that we can implement to better ourselves.

The session was not just informative; it was transformative – It sparked a renewed sense of curiosity and a commitment to lifelong learning. We walked away with actionable steps that we can incorporate into our daily lives to enhance our cognitive fitness and overall well-being so thank you for sharing your expertise and insights with us in such a relatable and impactful way.”

“I really do have to thank you and Allison for everything you do in connection with keeping the brain fit. The puzzles, the exercises, the information, the advice, the page layout and choice of print for the written material and all expressed in such a “nice” friendly, upbeat style.”

“The Brainfit workshop was information rich but well-presented so easy to absorb. Our team thoroughly enjoyed the learning and were stoked to come away with a suite of tangible, practical tips to apply to their day-to-day work. Thank you so much Ina”

“The course was fun and well presented. I found myself looking forward to each class and was very pleased when I got the opportunity to catch up on one class that I was unable to attend at the time.”

“Jude was so inspiring. Fantastic course – I am sorry it has to come to an end!”
