“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 think the Memory Tune course is brilliant. The material has been carefully thought through providing a balance of information, stimulation and user-friendliness. As I have learned and practiced what I can do to help me remember names, appointments etc., I have found myself with a new general feeling of alertness. ‘Memory Tunes’ is life-enriching!”

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!

“The feedback we received on the Brainfit At Work session was very positive. Everyone was engaged & loved the mix of science, research and practical ‘here is what you can put in place tomorrow’ tips. Your ability to hold the crowds attention with your energetic delivery style together with thoughtful answers to individual questions was fabulous. Thank you so much Jude.”

“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.”

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.

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

“I have struggled with cognitive issues as I have advanced in years, it has really worried me. Having been in Ina Meeten’s class in Blenheim, I am a lot more confident that I can look forward to many more years without “losing my marbles”!! I now have a real purpose in life, and I think I can help others as well. Thank you.”

“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 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 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!”

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

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

“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.”

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

“I really enjoyed the course and the calm and gentle way you led us – thank you very much.”

“My team and I found the Brainfit At Work workshop very interesting and enlightening. There have been many take home tips that will be useful. A couple of the team have been experiencing external challenges on a personal level and have reported that some of the tools learned will be useful so thank you. It was a very worthwhile workshop and enjoyed by everyone here.”

“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.”

“Your books and course are so full of hints and ‘how-to’ that I have made good strides towards improving my memory. I am 76 years and the improvements and confidence I have gained are huge. Thanks for giving me my life back. I’m no longer a wall flower. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“I am very much enjoying my Brainfit class. Highly recommend”
