Circle + Bloom was founded in 2009 by Joanne Verkuilen and we have since helped hundreds of women navigate their infertility journey with our programs, blog and community. We offer guided meditation programs to help them feel empowered, and improve their health and fertility with guided visualization. Each of our programs is designed to guide them through a cycle specific to their need. Find out about the science behind our programs here.
If you would like to feature Circle + Bloom in your publication or blog, please feel free to contact us for media and information. We’ll be glad to hear from you.
