The Brainfit For Life Course is a must for anyone of any age. Having completed it for the second time, I’ve found the content practical with great tips & tricks to help me keep growing my brain.

I found it fascinating – I want to do another one!

“Very fulfilling and engaging course. Excellent presentations that were relevant to everyday happenings”

“Very worthwhile course & well worth the few hours it takes. Lots of good new tricks to aid the ageing grey matter!”

“I had an opportunity to practice remembering names at a social gathering on Friday where we met a lot of new people. Being an inquisitive person I found it easier to probe into people’s names rather than weave a story around them. For instance I was introduced to a lady called Sheryl and asked her if she was Sheryl or Cheryl. By concentrating on people’s names and repeating them as soon as possible I was able to remember most people I met, even differentiating between an Annette and a Lynette so was quite pleased.”

”Excellent for one’s confidence. I now feel I know what will be expected of me and I can prepare. Great information.” 

“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.”

“The course has been so enjoyable and it’s with real enthusiasm that I leave each week to test my knowledge.  Absolutely inspiring.  It’s like eating something delicious and wanting more.”

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!

“Thanks for yesterday’s ‘power hour & a half!’ After the training, I spoke about the content with my husband and he particularly liked (as well as I) methods to learn someone’s name by taking a mental picture and making relevant associations. We will both be trying this as and when we meet new people.”

“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.”

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

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.

I didn’t want the classes to end! I am so motivated to use this information to improve my brain health despite my challenges.

“Thank you once again. It is so positive and I feel the benefits of the puzzles. I believe my memory is better than it was, and one thing leads to another so I do a bit more physical exercise now too. The new knowledge and clues or charts for useful actions to assist in keeping tabs on things are amazing. Really just the positivity of the whole thing is a true gift!”

Great to know there is so much hope to keep my brain healthy. I loved it!

“I am getting better at remembering people’s names and basically I think my brain was getting lazy in retirement. I think the course was a much needed wake up call.”

“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.”

“I really enjoyed the workshop you put on for us and there were several points that I took from the workshop that were very valuable and have stuck with me. I was particularly impressed with your top 6 tips for looking after one’s brain and avoiding overload and I have to say these tips have been very helpful. I have been engaging the ‘focus, connect, rehearse technique and one area it helps me is remembering people’s names, something that in this business, and in just about any walk of life, really makes a difference to people when you remember their names. Thanks again Ina and I can highly recommend your workshop to any organisation, big or small. There is something there for everyone, it is entertaining, informative, and helpful.”

The best course I have eve been on. So practical.
