Timeline for my company, The Scent Guru Group, LLC:


2016-Present:  After my mother passed away from dementia related causes in 2016 I made it my priority to enrich the lives of seniors living with dementia by creating Essential Awakenings® Smell & Memory Activities & Kits.  The distinctive smell prompts and clue cards are a fun way to engage with seniors to play a stimulating and fun guessing game.  I currently sell these kits to Assisted Living Communities, families and home care providers caring for seniors living with various forms of dementia, such as Alzheimers.


I also offer 1 hour Essential Awakenings® activity sessions to Senior Centers and Assisted Living Communities in the NY Metropolitan area for a small fee.  For information or to schedule a session, write to thescentgurugroup@gmail.com. 


2018-Present:  I continued to focus on the wellbeing of underserved populations using the distinctive smell prompts (example: the smell of grass, chocolate, oranges) and have recently created a patent-pending multi-sensory tool kit called MindScent®.  I am currently selling these kits to hospitals, Speech Pathologists, and Teachers of Special Education.
