You Know Something Needs to Change
- You may feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted or disconnected from the person you want to be.
- You may understand what you should be doing, but still find yourself returning to the same thoughts, habits and patterns.
- You may be navigating a major life transition, struggling with motivation or supporting a family member while carrying your own challenges.
- Perhaps you have spent so much time caring for others that you have lost connection with yourself.
- Or perhaps life looks fine from the outside, but something inside you knows there is more available.
You do not need to have every answer before asking for support.
You simply need to be ready to take the first step.
Change Begins When You Understand What Is Happening Beneath the Surface
Your thoughts, habits, values, emotions, environment and daily choices are deeply connected. Lasting change is rarely created by forcing yourself to try harder.
It begins by developing greater awareness of who you are, what is influencing you and what you truly need to move forward.
Through Focus Open Mind, you can begin to:
Understand the patterns shaping your life
Recognise thoughts and habits that may be holding you back
Clarify your values, priorities and personal direction
Develop practical tools for everyday challenges
Strengthen your confidence and personal responsibility
Create healthier and more sustainable choices
Move forward with greater clarity and purpose
This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about understanding yourself and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

Understand Your Brain. Understand Your Choices. Strengthen Your Life.
Many people try to change their lives without first understanding what is influencing their decisions. They focus on the result they want, but not the thoughts, habits and patterns creating their current experience.
Brain Health Simplified helps make these connections easier to understand.
Through practical education and guided reflection, you can explore:
- How your thoughts influence your behaviour
- Why certain habits can be difficult to change
- How awareness supports better decision-making
- The role of lifestyle foundations in wellbeing
- How your values and personality influence your choices
- How to turn knowledge into consistent action
You do not need to become an expert in the brain.
You need practical information that helps you understand yourself and make healthier choices in everyday life.

A future where people have the knowledge, confidence and support to make healthier choices for themselves, their families and their communities.
Empowering People to Take Greater Ownership of Their Health
Through coaching, education and practical support, Focus Open Mind helps people better understand themselves and take meaningful steps towards healthier lives.

Focus Open Mind supports rural individuals, families, organisations and communities through:
Online coaching
Family support
Community workshops

In their own words
“
Jeanette was a presenter at THE Rural Woman's International Women's Day online event and shared on the topic, Three Steps to Succeed in Uncomfortable Conversations. Jeanette was a dedicated host, she provided an excellent 30 minute presentation that offered great insight and usable tools for the participants.
She was honest, vulnerable and direct in her content and her slide deck was also really helpful. I can recommend Jeanette as someone who walks her talk and will only teach what she has practiced! May you bloom where you are.

Jeanette is an amazing coach not only because she is calm and patient but also very knowledgeable. She is very down to earth and an understanding individual. She has opened my eyes to diet, exercise and meditation in my life and has taught me tools to carry on.
She provided comfort, support, insight, someone to talk to and someone to confide in. But most importantly she brought hope to help me in recovery with a very holistic approach.

“
I am one of Jeanette's first clients for her new "The Brain Masters Journey 6 month program". I commenced the program in April 2024 and have since benefited greatly from it. Jeanette has enabled me to discover things about myself that I never knew prior to starting.
The program was a transformative experience that opened my eyes to a whole new world of health and fostering positivity in one's life. Jeanette was clear and interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of teaching. The program is carefully planned out over six months to cover a variety of topics ranging from the importance of sleep to exercise and nutrition.
The material was up to date and highly relevant to today's day and age. I also liked how interactive and personal the course was. There was a good focus on the importance of brain health and techniques to combat negative thought processes and anxiety. Jeanette's guidance and support throughout is what got me through to the end.
The course content was excellent with a good balance between theory and practical application. This course has given me a more cemented view of my overall health and wellbeing and helped me apply various tools to deal with anxiety.
If you would like to transform your overall health and wellbeing, I would highly recommend Jeanette's program. It is well worth the money and time invested, and you will look back with certain accomplishments no doubt.
