Circle + Bloom – a Wonderful Resource for PCOS & Fertility

Circle + Bloom’s story starts more than twenty years ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS as a late-teen. Throughout my twenties and early into my marriage, the diagnosis that “pregnancy may be difficult” was there lurking in the background, but I honestly didn’t get too hung up on it as it was something to be dealt with at a later time. Not surprisingly, I had problems with conception. After a difficult emotional journey I was eventually blessed to have two perfect children, but not without a lot of heart-ache and emotional ups and downs along the way. Then my close friend started having fertility problems which prompted me to action.

Exploring the connection between the mind+body, as well as the direct connection between stress and hormone balance and ultimately fertility, I had the idea of creating a daily relaxation program that tracked to the monthly cycle. Given the fact that our bodies are changing every day throughout the month, a physiological daily guided visualization made complete sense to me. It was my “ah-ha” moment and one that I will never forget standing in my kitchen with this idea that hit me like a bolt of lightening. I have never turned back.

I started Circle + Bloom to help others in this process of taking a more proactive stance. Helping ourselves help ourselves. Through the power of the mind-body connection along with the stress-infertility link – we have the knowledge to take matters in our own hands.

The whole idea behind Circle+Bloom’s fertility programs is very simple, but surprisingly effective. We all have an innate healing ability through the mind-body intelligence we all possess. Our programs have been developed based on what we know about how to use relaxation and guided visualization to be proactive, reduce the effects of stress, and feel better about where you are on your family building journey.By using your brain’s visualization capability – and “seeing” what your body should be doing, you become the director of your body to help it restore its own health and balance. This is essential to our fertility, since it is mostly hormone-driven. It has been shown that our bodies don’t know the difference between what we are imaging and what we are physically seeing with our two eyes. And so when we simply imagine certain things happening within our body, our bodies follow suit.

What the brain sees, the body can accomplish. A powerful mind-body connection can be tapped into when you visualize inward and “see” your body healthy and balanced.

We also get another enormous benefit: the reduction of stress which is being found to affect most of our bodily systems, especially our fertility. Undergoing fertility treatment is incredibly stressful, so finding an effective way to relax and feel in greater control of your body, levels of health and well-being is more important than ever during this stressful time.

And the beautiful thing is just fifteen minutes a day is all it takes to have a big impact. There’s no need to join a class or carve out a big block of time. That’s the main thing we hope to let people know. Using your mind-body connection and visualization is not something that is mysterious or complicated.  In fact, we work hard to guided you through the process each day and we have demystified what you need to visualize for optimum fertility and health awareness.
