“I am encouraged that Mind-Body science and innovative stress reduction exercises have been tailored for the fertility community. I am thrilled to be incorporating Circle+ Bloom’s programs in our practice.” Dr. Dehan Chen, Valley Hospital Fertility Center, Paramus NJ – affiliated with New York University Fertility Center
Based on medical and scientific research showing how our minds communicate with our bodies, we have created this medicated cycle tracking program that allows your brain to help your body accomplish the goals you desire.
By giving yourself 15 minutes per day to reduce stress and open the powerful connection of the mind-body connection, you can make incredible strides to improving the success of your advanced reproductive procedure, finding a more centered emotional state and empowerment throughout the process.
Each session is different but follows the same basic structure. We first spend time allowing your mind and body to go quiet and enter into a deeply relaxed state. Then we begin our physically-based mind-body visualizations that track to what your reproductive cycle is doing during that time period. Lastly, we proceed through an exercise based on a specific emotional release or understanding. Here is a quick review of each sessions body-based visualizations:
Precycle Session A: Internalizing your own unique understanding of the mind-body connection and beginning to trust its intelligence and power. This enables to set the stage for all of the specific mind-body exercises to follow in the program.
Precycle Session B: Continuing to strengthen inner trust and dialogue between the mind and body, feeling its intelligence on a subconscious basis. Use of water visualization cleansing and preparing body for the cycle start.
Precycle Session C: Hypothalamus and pituitary visualization exercises seeing balancing and relaxing throughout this part of the brain. Continuing to focus on mind-body intelligence and communication to prepare for cycle start.
Cycle Day 1+2 Focus on complete and healthy acceptance of synthetic hormones, welcoming on every level for optimum effectiveness. Seeing the communication between the hypothalamus-pituitary and shedding excess anxiety.
Cycle Day 3+4 Balancing of anxiety with endorphines and positive feelings throughout the body, releasing excess cortisol as needed. Acceptance of hormones and medications in an open and positive way for optimum effectiveness.
Cycle Day 5+6 Visualization focusing on ovaries, follicles and eggs and seeing movement, positive energy, brightening – all the while completely trust the mind-body intelligence to nominate the highest quality eggs for this special cycle.

“I tried to conceive for 2 years and recently used Circle+Bloom each evening during my IVF cycle. Yesterday I found out that it worked and I am pregnant! I know that Circle+Bloom assisted in my staying calm and focused throughout the cycle. During the time right after the transfer, when I was feeling very negative and stressed I listened twice a day and that is how I was able to find some peace. Thank you for this great program!”

“Circle+Bloom is amazing! IVF is a very stressful process and it’s hard to keep yourself calm, relaxed, and positive. I listened Circle+Bloom each night, and we were successful this cycle! I credit Circle+Bloom for a lot of this success.” Leigh, via email
“IVF is so emotionally exhausting. The drugs and the procedures are out of your hands. But I could control my attitude and my positivity, especially with the help of Circle+Bloom. I believe with every fiber of my being it’s one of the reasons we can finally say we are EXPECTING!” Kelly, NY
I listened to two of the precycle sessions and the CD 1+2 tonight and they were perfect. It is so nice to have something so grounding to listen to especially when you are pumping your body full of hormones. I am so grateful for the work you are doing and will pass the word on to my fertility doc and support group.
