BRAINFIT®WORLD Director & Coach, Grad Dip. Corporate Communications & Public Relations, BA (Sociology & Politics), Dip. Freelance Journalism

 

I became involved with Brainfit having experienced first-hand the devastating effects of prolonged stress on the brain and memory during a mental breakdown in my early 30’s.

As a practiced communicator, presenter and capability trainer, I have been putting my skills to good use since 2017, as an accredited Brainfit Coach helping Kiwis to understand that stress and getting older don’t have to go hand in hand with memory loss. The sooner you start to strengthen your brain, the better.

I am a passionate lifelong learner who knows how important cognitive vitality and resilience are to thrive personally and professionally. I am highly regarded as an energetic and engaging presenter and I have been lucky enough to share my story and expertise on radio, podcasts and TV so, if you are looking for:

  • A fun and engaging way to improve your knowledge of memory and brain health
  • Improved confidence in knowing how to grow your brain regardless of your age
  • Easy memory tips and exercises to practice at home and share with family & friends

Please get in touch.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY 

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

 

Margaret, Auckland

“I enjoyed this course as I mixed with others, learnt what I can and can’t do well and know what I need to practice more.  Thank you for your energy in delivering the course, Jessie.  I find the book invaluable.”

Carol
“The course has made a difference already.  Not just remembering things I need to do,  but motivation for the act of doing them. Today I contacted 2 friends whose birthday it is. I usually remember but don’t necessarily act upon it. The relief of doing this, instead of having to remember again another day is wonderful. You made important stuff such fun.”
Margaret, Feilding NZ

“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.”

Wendy, Auckland

“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.”

Mary, Northland, NZ

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.

Debbie

“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!”

Bevan, Auckland, NZ

Very Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing

“A revelation! What a wake up call and an exciting view of the new possibilities ahead of me.”

Sally, Auckland

“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.”

Sue Crozier, Auckland, NZ

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.

Mary, West Coast

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

Glenys, Auckland

“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.”

Thelma, Auckland, NZ

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

Roger Milne, NZ

“Wow…. You have got a lot of the workforce talking after the Brainfit training! The staff who attended were blown away by what they experienced and the conversations that have followed since have been unreal. I’ve even witnessed a couple of staff members make complete lifestyle switches as a result because they resonated with your story and could see the path they were heading down too. Thank you so much Jude, I’ve truly loved partnering with you to bring this to Waipā and really look forward to the journey ahead together.”

Steph Curin, Manager Culture & Capability Waipā District Council 

“Feel encouraged, very hopeful of improving memory.  Stimulated.  Had excellent teacher, many wonderful laughs, much to learn.”

Pat

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

Carol, Auckland

“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.”

Ben Wickham, Blenheim NZ

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.

Rachel Minton- Smith, Capability Manager Hockey NZ

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

Scott, Riverhead
