Feeling more forgetful lately – misplacing your keys, forgetting names, or just not feeling as sharp as you used to? You’re not alone, and it’s not a sign to panic. It simply means your brain needs a little more exercise and support. Brainfit for Life is a friendly, face to face group programme that strengthens the brain connections essential for memory, focus, and everyday mental clarity. No matter your age, these skills act as a powerful buffer against memory loss and brain overload. Over four weeks, you’ll be guided by a trained facilitator to explore six key memory skills that will help you stay independent, productive, and mentally strong throughout life. Cost $250. To sign up email ina@brainfit.nz or phone 027 3630763. Spaces are limited.
