Better Brain Education offers accredited training that focuses on activating and strengthening the physical brain through structured brain exercises and proven neuroplasticity techniques—specifically designed for elderly and mentally challenged individuals.
At Better Brain Education, we understand that the brain remains adaptable throughout life. Our training programs focus on strengthening the physical brain through targeted exercises that promote healthy neural activity. Developed for carers working with elderly individuals and people living with brain-related conditions, our approach is grounded in neuroscience, brain rehabilitation, and practical neuroplasticity methods.
Founded by Gert Meiring and Dr. Mariette Kussmaul, Better Brain Education was created to equip carers with the tools they need to help activate and support brain function—even in the face of degeneration or decline.
Better Brain Education offers specialized in training and accredited courses for care-givers and families of Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients.
A strategist and compassionate advocate, Mariette is dedicated to serving the mentally ill in their most vulnerable years, combining business acumen with a servant’s heart. With a strong background in leadership and human support systems, Dr. Kussmaul is dedicated to training carers to work with the brain in practical ways. Her approach combines neuroscience with values-based care and structured implementation.
