“Very valuable hints to encourage healthy memory. Thoroughly enjoyable and non-threatening. Younger people need to be encouraged to take the course.”

“It is an extremely stimulating and useful course at any age or stage.  I like the follow-up emails which remind me to keep up the things I’ve learnt.”

“I am finding it all quite a challenge but wish to tell you that I am absolutely loving it.  We are doing it together which is fabulous fun.  I feel that you have given me a new lease on life and am finding it hard to get to do much else.”

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!

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’m so pleased I seized the moment and enrolled in the September course. It helped me realize I need to stop cramming so much into my day and stay more intentional in the moment, rather than falling further into the trap of developing ‘Rushing Woman Syndrome.’ I really appreciated you as a person, and the professional, clear, and enthusiastic way the material was presented. It was comprehensive, well-explained, and grounded in science. The cost could have been a stumbling block, but I knew I needed to prioritise this course over other outings – and I’m so glad I did. The emails with additional information and links were also incredibly informative and helpful.

“I think focus-connect-rehearse says it all for me. I met a man a few days ago and he was actually admiring my bike. We ended up chatting and he told me his wife was Sue and he was Neil. Bingo!”

“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.”

“Already I feel much less worried about fading memory. The course has made me aware of some techniques I already use such as placing car keys in the same place. It is great – I love it. Have made notes of the 7 methods and will carry that in my purse for referral at spare moments. Thanks a million.”

“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.”

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.

“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!”

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

Very Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing

“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.”

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

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

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

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