<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #808000;">Being this is our very first post, introductions are certainly in order.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">About 14 months ago, I was struck with an idea. An idea that marinated itself and brought forth a whole business to support it and bring it to life. Almost out of my control, Frankenstein-like, it needed to exist. It became my all-consuming thought, even with a full-time finance job and two young kids at home to take care of. Vacations were my time to work on this project, and everyone in my life can attest to this craziness that has consumed me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, you can imagine my happiness that the "birth" of this company is just about here. I highlight "just about" because this website and blog are really only the pre-show the real deal. I will explain that more as we go.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If not evident already, this idea revolves around the impact of stress and fertility. Throughout my 30s, this issue has come up in many ways, shapes and forms - throughout my own struggle with pregnancy (which did end with a perfect outcome) and scores of friends who went through absolute heart-wrenching experiences. This has been underscored with my intense interest in mind-body health and the ability to ellicit real physical changes through imagining meditation - the ability to use intense relaxation sessions combined with visual imagery to help yourself make real physical changes and healing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, the past 14 months have been a very intense time for me as I really dove headfirst into multiple areas of medicine, mind-body communication, reproductive health, etc. - reading anything I could get my hands on, talking with experts in the field, interviewing friends who are experiencing unexplained infertility, drafting the Circle &amp; Bloom program, etc. I even took classes on website programming.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I will be very honest with you at all times:  I am not a doctor, nor will I ever pretend to be. I am not a therapist, hypnotist, or any other medical person in any way shape or form. I will never promise that I can "get you pregnant" with any potions, magic-pill or any other such nonsense - nor am I a faith-based devotee like the Christian Scientists, etc.  But, with the infertility rate rising each year, I believe there is a fundamental problem with the overall approach to fertility issues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I invite you to join us into how we can take control of these issues ourselves by researching the mind-body effects on our reproductive health. Your comments, questions, support for others will all work to create a place where we all learn and realize our full potential.</p>
