"Challenging Yet Game-Like"

“Learning the brain basics and understanding the concepts that follow their development was delightful. ”
— Marlene D., Los Altos

I had such a positive experience with Mindfulness Meditation, taught by Dr. Usha Welaratna, that I decided to try the Memory Training class she would be teaching for the next session. Learning the brain basics and understanding the concepts that follow their development was delightful. My memory, my imagination, my ability to use new muscle groups are just a few of the skills I am developing. The methods Usha teaches are challenging, and yet very "game-like" in their execution. So learning was fun. (As a former elementary teacher I know how important that can be to a good experience.) I will be entertaining my family with some of these new skills shortly...and remember I am only 81 -- THINK what I have yet to accomplish with mastering the Memory Training experience. 

"Total Credibility"

I’ve heard a lot about how neuroscience is uncovering how our brains work and how to keep them healthy. So thought I’d give Dr. Welaratna’s memory class a try. Wow. I had no idea there were so many simple things I could do to exercise my brain to help me remember names, make and recall lists etc. I was very impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge that Usha brought to the class. And… she uses all the techniques herself, giving her total credibility. Plus, she is a good teacher, pacing the class as needed to communicate clearly.
