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

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY 

“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

“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.”

Karen Burton, Scheduling Team Leader, Telarc

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

Angelique, Christchurch

“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

“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.”

Kathy, Auckland

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

“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 

Very Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing

“I wanted to again extend my gratitude for the remarkable Brainfit At Work session you led at the Summit. Your session was undeniably one of the highlights for so many of us, and it left a lasting impact on all those who attended. Your ability to distil complex concepts into practical takeaways was truly impressive. The insights you shared during the Brainfit session resonated with each of us on a personal and professional level. It was as if a lightbulb had illuminated, revealing new perspectives and actionable strategies that we can implement to better ourselves.

The session was not just informative; it was transformative – It sparked a renewed sense of curiosity and a commitment to lifelong learning. We walked away with actionable steps that we can incorporate into our daily lives to enhance our cognitive fitness and overall well-being so thank you for sharing your expertise and insights with us in such a relatable and impactful way.”

Emily Ingoe, Sales Excellence Manager, Lion NZ

“I have recently finished a course called Brainfit For Life with Jessie. It is the best thing I have done to improve my mind for ages and will continue to practice the mental and physical exercises I learnt. I also enjoyed meeting a new group of people, we intend to continue meeting once a month for a chat over coffee. Thank you Jessie you were great.”

Robyn Wilson

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.
