Scent Mnemosyne

Whatever is happening in your life today, there is a way to feel at ease within it.

Perhaps you have simply forgotten it.

MNEMOSYNE

The remembrance of what we already know, but often forget.

In ancient Greek tradition, Mnemosyne is associated with memory and stands in contrast to oblivion.

This idea lies at the heart of Soul Essences™: a return to something deeply familiar, something we already know and may over time, have forgotten.

This is The Art of Remembrance.

 

Every meaningful change begins with the right starting point. I deeply believe that the beginning is half of everything.

In relationships.
In decisions.
In personal growth.
In the way we choose to live.

This is why I created Soul Essences™. As a space where we can return to ourselves with awareness, presence and respect for our own rhythm. Because awareness is not a destination. It is the way we begin to live differently.

Soul Essences™ brings together the wisdom of Ancient Greek Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the language of Scent through lived experience.

Soul Essences™ creates the space for you to remember who you have always been.

Through Scent, the senses and connection with the body, awareness becomes part of everyday experience and the way you choose to live.

Soul Essences™ offers different starting points for personal exploration, giving you the freedom to follow the path that feels right for you. It is a way of returning to what already exists within you, through Scent, the senses, observation and experience.

You can begin from different points, but the journey moves through four core experiences:


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aroma becomes the language that guides you back to your essence.

A Community for Lifelong Growth.

Moai

The Soul Essences Community

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Moai, our Moai was born from a simple idea: meaningful change doesn’t have to happen alone.

In Japan, a Moai is a circle of people brought together through connection, mutual support and continuity over time.

This philosophy inspired Soul Essences™ to create its own circle,  a space where people come together, share, observe, explore and continue together.

Moai is an open circle of connection, participation and shared growth. A space where you can begin exactly where you are, at your own pace.

BODY.

The first Moai circle begins with something that concerns us all, the Body. Perhaps because it is the most immediate place from which we can begin. We see it, we feel it and we live within it every day.

For twelve months, we will explore together our relationship with the body, food, plant bioactive compounds, essential oils, movement, everyday practices and our habits.

Through this exploration, we gradually discover habits, practices and choices that can shape a way of living that feels more aligned with who we are.

Because change can begin in a single moment. But it is built over time.

  • Belonging — A circle where there is space to be yourself.
  • Connection — We share the experience and move forward together.
  • Practice — Small everyday actions gradually become a way of life.
  • Growth — Everyone moves at their own pace, without having to walk alone.

The Art of Distillation

Distill

Observe · Discern · Distill

The process of distillation begins with discernment.

Distill is an experiential journey within the Soul Essences™, unfolding through three distinct cycles.

Just as botanical distillation separates the essential from the unnecessary, here you begin to recognize what is truly yours, what keeps repeating, and what you no longer need to carry.

Through scent, the senses, the body and nature, observation becomes discernment.

You remove the noise.
You keep what matters.

Essence

Remember · Recognize · Choose

A private space for what is uniquely yours.

There are moments when something within you recognizes before you can even explain it.

A Scent.
An image.
A taste.
A sound.
A sensation in the body.

Small imprints that can bring you close to something familiar, even when you had forgotten it.

Here, Mnemosyne becomes a personal experience: the recognition of what was already within you, before you could even name it.

Essence begins there.

It is a personal journey through which you begin to discern what is truly your own, what has been added along the way and what you can now leave behind.

Through the senses, Scent, observation and the tools of Soul Essences™, you gradually connect the dots of your personal story.

You recognize patterns, needs, choices and imprints that may have seemed disconnected until now. As the unnecessary falls away, the picture becomes clearer and you move closer to what is already there, your essence and the way it can take form in your life.

At a gentle and steady pace, Essence helps you recognize what lies behind what is holding you back, see your own place and responsibility and make choices that are more aligned with what you recognize as truly your own.

Repetition here becomes a form of deepening. Each return reveals something more. And as you move forward, you need less and less guidance from someone else.

Scent, close to the body.

Long before perfume took the form we know today, aromatic materials were kept in small objects and pieces of jewellery worn close to the body. Inspired by the tradition of pomanders and wearable scent objects, The Vial brings this relationship with Scent into a contemporary form.

Each Vial is handcrafted from silver and crystals and can hold the Scent connected to your personal experience within the Soul Essences™. Worn close to the body, it allows Scent to meet you again throughout the day and with it, what you have chosen to remember.

Because sometimes a Scent is enough to bring back an image, an emotion, a sensation. Something you recognize before you even need to explain it. 

The Vial is a personal scented object of memory. It is created in limited numbers, exclusively for those who take part in Soul Essences™ experiences.

Testimonials

Elena P.

My experience with Mary was truly eye-opening!
A new path unfolded before me, changing the way I perceive myself and my relationship with the world. Mary, both nurturing and empowering, provided the comfort I needed and the push when it was necessary.

I am deeply grateful for our encounter. 

Constantina M.

 

An outstanding therapist and above all, a genuinely warm and caring person. From the very first session, she created a sense of trust and comfort that meant a lot to me. Through our work together, I’ve been able to better understand my challenges and make meaningful progress.

She stands out for her positive energy, her sense of humor and her sincere willingness to help.

I’m truly grateful for her support and everything she has contributed to my journey!

 

Froso M.

My sessions with her were an extraordinary experience… She is an incredible person… her unique way of bringing you closer to yourself is magical. It became my favorite hour of the week! 

Thank you for teaching me to recognize and embrace myself.
Love you!!!

Rori T.

An amazing therapist with wonderful positive energy that she effortlessly shares! Her space is also lovely and welcoming. I've seen great results with the challenges I faced, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Smaragda R.

At Soul Essences, I felt that I didn’t come “to be fixed,” but to remember who I truly am.

Your presence is filled with passion and understanding. You listen with such care, in a way that gently illuminates even the most hidden parts of myself.

Through this connection, I was able to understand deeper aspects of who I am. What I deeply appreciated is that you didn’t show me which path to take, instead, you helped me trust my inner voice and discover the path that was already within me.

My experience with you was a true return to my inner essence.

Thank you for creating a space that feels so safe, warm and authentic.

With love
 

Vasiliki S.

I opened up, understood things about myself, met people and felt good, even though I didn’t believe in the holistic approach. I really enjoyed it and would love to come back.

Victoria K.

It was fantastic. I felt really good and realized how much time you waste staying at home, while there are more meaningful things to do. At first, I thought, 'Oh, I don’t want to wake up,' but in the end, I enjoyed it because I did something creative and beautiful.

Freideriki B.

I really enjoyed it, this workshop finally happened. I’m very happy, even though I woke up reluctantly and wanted to sleep. I gained information I didn’t know, even though I’ve been following the Soul Essences cycle for years.

Karmen D.

I started with tears and emotion, during the workshop I felt anger and disappointment and went through many ups and downs. Despite that, I took away insights, even though I had heard Maria tell me many of them before. It was like a stamp was placed on certain things and I really liked it.

Elena S.

We have worked together before and have had several sessions. During this journey, I gain something new each time. Mary has helped me so much as a person, especially since I became a mother, from the day of the hospital until today. What comes up in her sessions and workshops has taken me a step further and continues to support me even now.

Katerina P.

I feel a sense of euphoria and completeness, but I still can’t put into words what it has left me with. I need a little time.
