<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808080;"><span class="drop_cap">O</span><span style="color: #808080;">ur mission at Circle &amp; Bloom is to develop products and provide real-world information and news that can help you use relaxation techniques to improve your fertility. We believe strongly in the mind's ability to heal the body and that anyone can do it - it just takes knowledge and the right tools. Given the recent studies that suggest a strong link between stress and infertility and the ability to reduce your stress by eliciting the "Relaxation Response," we offer our program as a daily auditory-based program that utilizes guided imagery and deep relaxation techniques that provide a way to activate our mind's inherent ability to heal itself.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808080;">Our program was designed and created by Joanne Verkuilen with the advice and guidance of medical professionals, mind-body experts and psychologists, including the best-selling author of L<em>ove Medicine &amp; Miracles</em>, Dr. Bernie Siegel. The program uses a patent-pending method of tracking to your reproductive cycle such that every day, upon entering a state of deep relaxation, guided imagery will suggest powerful directives that may help in the balancing of your reproductive system. We believe strongly in our mind's powerful ability to heal our bodies, and by using guided imagery, we begin to open a positive channel of dialogue between the mind and the body.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808080;">The stress-infertility connection is real. The time is now for you to take control over your fertility, rather than letting infertility take control over you.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808080;">For many, Bernie needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet.  Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, not Dr. Siegel, was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veteran’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808080;">In 1986 his first book, "Love, Medicine and Miracles," was published. This event redirected his life. He is now very involved in humanizing medical education and making the medical profession aware of the mind/body connection. Bernie travels extensively with Bobbie to speak and run workshops sharing his techniques and experience.</span></p>
