Description
In this course, we help you improve or retain cognitive functioning, capacity, and memory using several techniques. We engage different aspects of brain health in a fun environment while building memory, focus, attention, and shape recognition using mahjong tiles. No experience or familiarity with mahjong is necessary.
We do some counting techniques, shape recognition, introduce distractions so you can train yourself on focus, and put you in situations where you have a limited timeframe to track items as they move around the screen. We also introduce you to the game of mahjong. You will learn about the mahjong tiles and how to recognize them so you can do some of the memory exercises we created for you. You do not need to be familiar with mahjong to do this course. You will not learn how to play a mahjong game from this course. You also do not need to learn any more about mahjong than you do in this course. If you decide to learn mahjong after this course, your skills learned in this course will help you when you play.
I am a brain injury survivor that used mahjong to regain memory, cognitive functioning, and focus. My Mahjong for Memory program is my way of sharing what I know, what I learned, and what I experienced as I gained back my brain health. There are many tools and resources you can use when it comes to regaining or retaining memory and improving brain health and functioning. I wanted to provide a program that is really fun and that you can grow with. I hope you enjoy it and have fun!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in preventing or delaying Alzheimer's or Dementia
- Anyone interested in fun memory games
- Anyone interested in brain health
- Anyone interested in improving memory, attention, focus, visual tracking, and other cognitive skills

About:
Mona Remedios Stickley is a disability artist and multiple brain injury survivor. At times, she lost the ability to walk, read, and speak. When her disability became severe, it was very difficult for medical providers to help. Her symptoms and multiple diagnoses were too varied for any medical practitioner to address altogether. So she tenaciously pursued progress by using a variety of techniques and creating her own methodology to improve function.
Education and Experience:
Mona has a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Anthropology with a minor in Psychology from the University of Alberta. She has a Certificate in General Business Management from NAIT, and a Diploma in Computer Operations from CDI. She has additional training in insurance, medical terms and reports, anatomy, energy healing, health and fitness, and project management.
Her work background includes 15 years in management roles across different industries, and 5 years in claims adjusting and litigation. She has considerable experience training, and mentoring staff ranging from 8 to 52 direct reports.
Her arts background includes education in commercial art including art history, acrylic, gouache, watercolour, oil, charcoal, drawing, and pointillism. She volunteered at the Edmonton Art Gallery in the Art Rental Office. She also organized charity events, worked with photographers, amateur models, and coordinated resources with university programs, charitable foundations, and local businesses. She directed or managed the coordination of several projects that involved design, marketing programs, websites, and fundraising.
Courses:
Mona enjoys building courses that help people live a better life, organize their lives, or better themselves in their careers. She hopes her experiences and knowledge can be of use to others. The topics she is passionate about are varied, from using mahjong to stimulate cognitive functioning, decluttering, using colors and art as therapy, managing complex illness and more.
