keeping your brain healthy

The right lifestyle can help prevent cognitive decline and keep your brain sharp throughout your life. Research has shown that lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, sleep, managing stress, staying social, and engaging in cognitively stimulating activities can reduce your risk of dementia by almost 50%. If you are worried about, or already experiencing cognitive decline, the important takeaway is that you can do something about it. And we can help.

what people saying about Brain matters…

“Amy has quickly become an invaluable collaborator as we continue to seek new ways to enrich and support our residents living with dementia. She brings a large wealth of knowledge and experience in the topics of brain health and movement, and we really appreciate how everything she does is rooted in evidence-based applications. Her sessions are fun, creative, extremely engaging, and something everyone at Hale Kūʻike very much looks forward to. Her passion and zest for what she does really shines through each time we see her. I would highly recommend working with Amy for anyone interested in keeping their brains healthy, minds sharp, and bodies fit.”

– Marcus Asahina, Hale Ku’ike

“We invited Amy Kelley to speak to our Senior Ohana (Family) at Olivet Baptist Church on the Six Pillars of Brain Health. Amy captivated the audience with her engaging presentation, deep knowledge and unique insights. Not only did she tailor the content to meet our specific needs, but she made complex topics easy to understand and apply.

Amy left us with actionable takeaways (printed handouts with information and models of simple exercises). She had also inspired us to think differently. I highly recommend Amy Kelley as a speaker for any event. She is an incredible communicator and thoughtful leader.”

– Lilian Lee, Olivet Baptist Church

Amy does a great job of tailoring her presentations to the needs of older adults and the objectives of our project’s initiatives. Her sessions are thought provoking, fun, and leave a lasting impression for participants. The pre and post tests completed by those who attended her sessions indicated that her presentations increased their knowledge about brain health. And her interactive sessions have served as a conduit for seniors to socialize and make new friends.

Amy is passionate and committed to sharing her knowledge and expertise with our community.  We highly recommend Amy as an effective speaker and trainer, who shares information that is invaluable for all of us.
