The 10 week live course that measurably improves your memory, including names, numbers and lists.
Geriatric social worker, 30+ years. Licensed Brain Health Trainer by Dr. Amen.
That feeling you just had, watching a technique click into place?
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.
“I really had a lot of fear before the course. Now I have the confidence to believe in myself. It is exhilarating to know that I can remember whatever is important to me!”
“Being more vigilant of paying attention and staying more focused is helping allay my fear about my memory.”
“I am learning from you to have a positive relationship with my memory. No panic!”
Eat well. Sleep. Move. Stay social. Do a puzzle.
Every word of that is true. None of it is wrong. It is also the same advice handed to the entire population at once, which is exactly why it cannot answer the one question you actually have: which part of it is about me?
Take two people on the same street. Same age. Both walking daily. Both eating well. Both in a class, both keeping up with friends. Identical effort, right down to the week.
That gap is the whole point of the ten weeks. It is not a feeling, it is a number, and it is written in your own handwriting on two pages you can hold next to each other.
You won’t have to take anyone’s word for whether this worked, including mine. You’ll have your own before and after.
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.
This course is built for age typical memory concerns. If that is your situation, I will work with you privately instead, one on one, where the pace is yours. Book a free 15 minute call and I will point you to the right place.
That policy protects you, and it is why my results are real.

Underneath all of it, the change my students name most often isn’t any single trick.
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.
90 minutes each. 15 hours of live coaching in total.
Taught step by step.
Breakout rooms with your fellow students, so techniques become habits while I am right there.
Everything in writing. Nothing to memorize from a screen.
Questions answered between sessions.
Miss a week, catch up that evening.
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.
When something doesn’t click for you, I see it. I slow down, come at it from another angle, and practice it with you, right there in the session, until it does. You are never left behind with a paused screen and a workbook, wondering if you are the only one who didn’t get it.
Until you get it. That is the offer.
Nobody else teaches memory techniques built for seniors, live, with a clinical background in aging. Not the memory champions, whose courses are built for students and executives. Not the doctors, who explain the brain but don’t train it with you, week after week.
This is the only room where both are true.
15 hours of live coaching with me. My private rate is $200 an hour
The complete Memory Matters interactive workbook
Live practice in every session, with feedback
The group WhatsApp with me between sessions
Lifetime access to every session recording
Enrollment bonus: a private 1:1 memory assessment with me
Fifteen hours with me privately would cost $3,000. You’ll get those same hours, plus the workbook, the recordings, the practice group and the private assessment, together in one course.
Price in a moment. First, see what my students say it was worth.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I learned to believe in myself, that I CAN remember whatever I need to.”
“I took your memory classes several years ago, but they are still helping me and my memory.”
At the end of my last course I went round the group and asked each person what they had gained. They all said the same thing. It wasn’t a technique. It was confidence in their own memory.
You take the memory test in session one. You take the same test in week ten.
If your score hasn’t improved, and you have attended the sessions and used your 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.

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.
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t pretend to be a doctor. I’m not guessing about memory either, and I’m not teaching from theory. I have spent thirty years with the outcome you are worried about, which is exactly why I can tell you this with a straight face and a measured test to back it up:
That worry is the most common one, and it is the exact thing the course 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.
Every session is recorded and yours for life. Watch that evening, and rejoin the group next week.
One click on a Zoom link. That is all. If you can open an email, you can attend.
Yes. The WhatsApp group is a bonus, not a requirement. Everything essential happens in the sessions and the workbook.
This course isn’t the right fit, and I will tell you so before taking your money. Book the free 15 minute call and I will recommend the right path, usually private one to one work.
The techniques work by weaving into your day: the shopping list, the names at shul, the phone numbers. A few minutes of real life practice, not homework at a desk.

Ten weeks from now, the test won’t be mine. 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.
