<span style="color: #808080;">We heart Bernie. From early on, Dr. Siegel - or Bernie as he likes to be called - has been incredibly supportive of what we are doing with Circle + Bloom™.  His help and collaboration - and ultimately his endorsement of the final product - has been inspirational for me on a lot of levels.  Here is a man who has dedicated most of his professional career to helping people with incurable diseases from a whole-person approach.  He has countless stories of people overcoming enormous odds to heal themselves, representing a body of work that everyone can learn from as we age and inevitably are presented with ailments that need to be addressed.

<span style="color: #808080;">The story of the meeting of Bernie was another one of those synchronous events that have come to define the creation of this company.  I was at my sister's house at Cape Cod where in her bookcase, which was filled mostly with business books, was Bernie's <em>Love, Medicine &amp; Miracles </em>that was published back in the 1980s.  Of course a very different topic than that of fertility, the book focuses on cancer and the multitude of incredible stories of healing that his patients experienced.  I blew through the book in the matter of hours and saw immediately the connection with infertility and the possibility of using a similar mind/body visualization approach to trying to get pregnant.</span>

<span style="color: #808080;">I googled Bernie, got to his website, emailed him an introduction to myself and the fertility relaxation product that I was in the midst of formulating, and he returned my email offering his help within an astonishing 30 minutes.  I was thrilled beyond belief.  It was then that he offered his feedback on the product.  He was incredibly supportive of the concept and what I had done.  His advice on how to better instruct and guide throughout the program was a cornerstone in its development.  He then agreed to lend his name and his endorsement.  We are so grateful to Bernie!</span>

<span style="color: #808080;">p.s.  He did tell the story twice about a nurse in his office struggling with infertility.  He told her to do a visualization exercise of seeing her partner's sperm and her egg meeting and joining.  He said she was pregnant the following month.</span>
