SUMMARY:Geraldine | 12th Oct – 2nd Nov\, 2023 | Thursday mornings
DESCRIPTION:JENNA CHAPMAN\n					Accredited Brainfit Coach \n					If improving your brain health and memory is a priority for you\, join our Geraldine Brainfit for Life® class with Accredited Brainfit Coach Jenna Chapman on Thursday mornings\, starting October 12 at 10.15 am. \nOne 90-minute session per week for four weeks with a focus on 6 key memory skills that allow people to remain confident\, independent and productive regardless of age.  \nThese face to face\, facilitated classes will be held atThe Geraldine Library\, 80 Talbot Street Geraldine \n(12/10\, 19/10\, 26/10\, 2/11) \nThe cost is $200 per person for the 4 classes.\nTo enrol in this class or ask any questions please contact Jenna directly on \n0274681588 or jenna@brainfit.nz\nSome feedback from Jenna’s classes: \n\nThe Brainfit course with Jenna has opened my eyes to how you can easily fit ways of keeping your brain active into your day\, and how you should start at a younger age that what you think! A fascinating course to do!” – Wendy\, Ashburton  \n\n  \n\nThis was a stimulating course with strategies I was easily able to process and use on a regular basis. It reminded me of ways to slow down and de-stress but be stimulated. – Lynda\, Geraldine\n\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					“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.” \nBen Wickham\, Blenheim NZ“Very fulfilling and engaging course. Excellent presentations that were relevant to everyday happenings” \nGlenys\, Auckland“A revelation! What a wake up call and an exciting view of the new possibilities ahead of me.” \nSally\, Auckland“Very valuable hints to encourage healthy memory. Thoroughly enjoyable and non-threatening. Younger people need to be encouraged to take the course.” \nPauline\, Auckland\, NZ“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.”\nMargaret\, Feilding NZ“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.” \nJane B\, NZ“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.” \nMoyra\, Auckland NZGreat to know there is so much hope to keep my brain healthy. I loved it! \n  \nMargaret\, AucklandVery Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing \n“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!” \nBevan\, Auckland\, NZ“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.” \nThelma\, Auckland\, NZ“Jude was so inspiring. Fantastic course – I am sorry it has to come to an end!” \nCarol\, Auckland“I really enjoyed the course and the calm and gentle way you led us – thank you very much.” \nScott\, RiverheadI 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. \nNeuroplasticity\, 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. \nMary\, West Coast“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.” \nJane“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.” \nMary\, Northland\, NZ“Brainfit was an enjoyable way to understand and learn about my brain and memory. Highly Recommend!” \nCarmen\, Auckland“Very worthwhile course & well worth the few hours it takes. Lots of good new tricks to aid the ageing grey matter!” \nRoger Milne\, NZI am thoroughly enjoying the course and find it very beneficial\, so thank you. \nA. Hogan Auckland\, NZ“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.” \nBridget\, North Shore

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” \nHillary - Practice Manager at McCoy & Co“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.” \nBen Wickham\, Blenheim NZI’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. \nHelen\, Christchurch“I am enjoying my Brainfit® sessions with Ina. She is a great leader and she explains things well. I am a VHF radio operator with the Nelson Marlborough Marine radio\, talking to vessels in the top of the South Island area. I need very quick thinking for some situations. This work helps with my brain function. Thank you Ina for the chance to attend.” \n  \nJudith Allen\, Blenheim NZI’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! \nAthalie\, Christchurch“I really enjoyed the course. Accompanied with the book it was just great. Ina was an excellent teacher and we would like to do another course next year with her.” \n  \nNgaire\, Blenheim NZ“I have recently completed the Brainfit course with Ina Meeten. Ina was encouraging and inspirational. Our course was both fun and challenging. We learnt so much about how our amazing brain works. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their memory and thinking skills.” \nLorraine\, Blenheim“I found the course very helpful\, and easy to follow. Some things were surprising and many of the techniques I am able to slot into my every day activities. It has really helped to be made aware of a lot of things that I can do differently in a wide range of situations to help with my memory. Thank you so much.” \nJane\, Blenheim“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.” \nSteve Wyllie\, One Agency
