Challenge your mind for a sharper memory. Get brain fitness exercises in your inbox every weekday.

In week one, most people can't do it. By week ten, everyone can.

In week one, most people can’t remember the 12 names and
faces on the pre-test. By week 10, they confidently take the same test and remember them all.

You know the moments

That feeling you just had, watching a technique click into place?

That's what the next ten weeks are made of.

The keys that aren’t where you left them. The name that slips away mid sentence, from someone you have known for years. Standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in for.

Each one small. Each one a little louder than the last.

So you did what everyone suggests. Sudoku. Crossword puzzles. Maybe an app.

Here is where that advice falls short. Puzzles give your memory something to do. They don’t teach it how to work. Nobody ever showed you an actual technique for holding onto a name, a number or a list. So when one slips, it feels like proof that something is wrong with you.

It isn't proof of anything, except that you were never taught. And that is fixable.

“I really had a lot of fear before the coaching program. Now I have the confidence to believe in myself. It is exhilarating to know that I can remember whatever is important to me!”

Rivky

“Being more vigilant of paying attention and staying more focused is helping allay my fear about my memory.”

Esther

“I am learning from you to have a positive relationship with my memory. No panic!”

Cirel

Your memory, measured. Before and after.

On your first session I give you a memory test. Names, numbers, lists. You write down what you can remember, and you keep that page. In week ten, you take the same test again, and we put the two pages side by side.

Most people write down far less than they expected to. That is not a failure, and it is not a verdict. It is simply the starting line, and I need you to see where yours is.

Then I teach. Week by week, technique by technique, with practice in every session.

Week one
15/54
items recalled, on average
Week ten
50/54

items recalled, on average

When you first said the list, I remembered 8 items. After you went over how to connect the 20 items and asked us to list them again, I remembered 17. More than 6 hours later, I decided to test my memory. I was able to list all 20, and still can.

Is this coaching program for you?

Yes, if

Not right now, if

If you have received a memory-related diagnosis from your doctor, please book a free 15-minute pre-session and we’ll discuss whether this program is the right
fit.

Imagine, ten weeks from now

  • Being introduced to four people at a simcha and greeting each one by name afterwards
  • Reciting your bank PIN, your license plate, the phone numbers that matter, without reaching for a slip of paper
  • Doing the shopping without a written list, and coming home with everything
  • Putting your keys down anywhere, and knowing exactly where they are
  • Walking out of an appointment able to retell exactly what the doctor said

"I don't use a shopping list anymore. I can just go shopping, and I don't need it."

 R.H.

Underneath all of it, the change my students name most often isn’t any single trick.

It's the quiet return of something you thought was gone for good. Trust in your own mind.

It’s not just that the memory gets better. It’s that I can believe in myself and in my memory, because I have tools and techniques now.

Class 1 Introductions
Take the pre-test and meet the group, so that you know exactly where your starting line is. (Plus “How Memory Works”, a pre-recorded session sent by email to watch between classes 1 and 2, so that you understand what to focus on before the techniques begin.)
Class 2 The “TEAS” of improving concentration
Learn the four pillars of attention, so that information goes in properly the first time.
Class 3 How observant are we? Visualization exercise
Train your eye to notice, so that you capture the details you used to walk right past.
Class 4 The Name Game
Learn the technique for names and faces, so that you greet people by name without that second of panic.
Class 5 Remember that date, number, teudat zehut
Learn the number techniques, so that your PIN, phone numbers and dates live in your head, not on a slip of paper.
Class 6 Shopping lists
Learn the list technique, so that you shop without a written list and come home with everything.
Class 7 Lists continued: timers, planners and recall techniques
Build your recall toolkit, so that your systems support your memory instead of replacing it.
Class 8 Practice techniques in breakout rooms
Practice with fellow students while Rena is right there, so that the techniques become habits.
Class 9 Large amounts of info, languages, directions
Learn the advanced techniques, so that you can hold onto a class, a book or a route.
Class 10 Review and post-test
Take the same test from week one, so that you see your improvement in your own handwriting. Feel the success!

A video can teach a technique. But it doesn't teach you how to implement it.

There are recorded memory courses. I have some myself.

But when a technique doesn’t click from a video, the video keeps playing. And the belief that whispers “I can’t do this” gets one more piece of evidence.

Live is where that stops.

This coaching program is built specifically for seniors with your needs in mind, and at your pace by someone with a clinical
background in aging.

What my students say

“I scored higher two years later on a neurological testing evaluation due to applying the skills and tools I learned. That surely says it all.”

C.Z.R.

“I have developed long Covid fatigue and brain fog. Part of the treatment is undergoing speech therapy. The first thing the therapist did was testing. A large part of the testing was memory recall. I was thrilled to discover that the techniques I learned with Rena helped me tremendously. The therapist said that it was obvious that this test was too easy for me. Thank you Rena!”

B.S.M.

“At first, the exercises in Rena’s Memory Course are daunting. However, the genius of the program is that each exercise teaches you another method of using your brain to capture the information and remember it. The ability to make the most of the program is very much the result of Rena’s consistent encouragement and you-can-do-it attitude. You will come to believe her as you see that you have indeed learned a valuable technique for remembering.”

S.L.

“By focusing and using the techniques that we learned, the transformation was life altering. Until now I thought I was losing it, but now I realize how young and fresh I really am!”

C.H.

“I learned to believe in myself, that I CAN remember whatever I need to.”

H.K.

“I took your memory classes several years ago, but they are still helping me and my memory.”

Aviva

At the end of the Program, most of the students said the same thing.

It wasn’t just a technique. It was confidence in their own memory.

You'll see the difference on paper, or you don't pay

You take the memory test in session one. You take the same test in week ten.

If your score hasn’t improved at all, even after attending all of the sessions and filling in the workbook, I will refund every cent.

I can offer that because in 30 years of teaching, the week ten test has made my point for me.

The person on the other side of the Zoom screen

I’m Rena Yudkowsky, MSW. I’m a geriatric social worker with more than 30 years in the field, and a Licensed Brain Health Trainer under Dr. Daniel Amen.

Before Memory Matters I directed an Alzheimer’s unit in Maryland. I have trained caregivers, led support groups for seniors and for spouse caregivers, and coached memory one on one for an international anti aging clinic.

Your memory can improve. I'll prove it to you by week ten.

Frequently asked questions

Is it hard? I'm worried I won't keep up.

That worry is the most common one, and it is the exact thing the coaching program dissolves. My rule is progress, not perfection, and I practice with the group until every technique clicks. The students who were most nervous in week one are usually the proudest in week ten.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded and yours for life. Watch at your own pace.

How much technology do I need?

One click on a Zoom link. That is all. If you can open an email, you can attend.

I'm not on WhatsApp. Can I still join?

Yes. The WhatsApp group is a bonus, not a requirement. Everything essential happens in the sessions and the workbook.

I have a diagnosis. Is this right for me?

If you are concerned whether this program is the right fit, book a free 15-minute call with me and let’s discuss it

How much time does it take outside the sessions?

You have some homework and just practice the techniques by weaving them into your day the shopping list, the names at shul, the phone numbers. The more you practice, the better it works

What if it doesn't work for me?

If your score hasn’t improved at all, even after attending all of the
sessions and filling in the workbook, I will refund every cent.

When does it start?

Next Cohort will starts Tuesday, November 3, 11am EST. 12 seats.

In week one, most people can't do it. By week ten, you will.

It will be the moment you greet someone by name, shop without a list, and trust yourself again.

Memory Matters provides education and coaching, not medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have concerns about your memory, please speak with your doctor.
