Professional Endorsements
We are fortunate to have very esteemed members of the professional medical community who have provided guidance and counsel throughout the development of our Mind Body programs for conception. These are highly regarded professionals who immediately recognized the value in consistently applying mind/body techniques and relaxation to help in the fertility process.
Bernie Siegel, M.D.
“I am happy to endorse the Circle + Bloom™ program. Guided visualization and mind/body programs can be applied to fertility issues just as well as patients experiencing more serious health concerns.”
For many, Bernie needs no introduction. He has touched many lives all over our planet. Dr. Siegel, who prefers to be called Bernie, not Dr. Siegel, was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veteran’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers.
In 1986 his first book, “Love, Medicine and Miracles,” was published. This event redirected his life. He is now very involved in humanizing medical education and making the medical profession aware of the mind/body connection.
