EF#7: Using the mind's visualisation capabilities to improve your fertility with Joanne Verkuilen

In today's podcast episode I interview a woman who's voice I have listened to many many nights during my fertility journey, so as you can imagine it was a great honour to interview her and hear her voice for real! My guest is Joanne Verkuilen, the creator and mastermind behind Circle and Bloom, which provides guided visualisation and meditation programs for fertility and much more. We really enjoyed recording this episode and our conversation covered everything from PCOS, Endometriosis, infertility, power of the mind, the placebo effect and how powerful this is, the need for hope and empowerment, how our body just needs the right tools to be able to heal itself and much more! I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration from this, and that what you think and believe about your body, really does have a physical impact on your body. You can control how you are feeling. Joanne Verkuilen is the founder of Circle + Bloom which aims to share the incredible power of the mind-body connection. Her various programs and guided meditations are designed to empower anyone on their journey. Diagnosed with PCOS and the possibility of infertility as a late teen, she did struggle to conceive. She had two very different pregnancy experiences but it ended with two happy, beautiful children.   When her friend Stephanie also started having fertility problems and seeing what she went through, this gave Joanne a business idea. Thus she created Circle + Bloom back in 2008. Exploring the connection between the mind and body, she created a meditation program for both infertility and cancer. Her company grew fairly into the scale that it is today and has since helped over 50,000 women worldwide. The topics we discussed were: Joanne's PCOS and secondary infertility journey The rollercoaster, emotional pain and trauma associated with infertility journeys How Joanne found visualisation and meditation helped her best friends fertility, and went on to create Circle & Bloom with the support of Bernie Siegel (best selling author) An amazing story of a boy who overcame fatal brain cancer through visualisations How a plant-based diet has helped really helped her have healthy ovaries free of PCOS The importance of the mind-body connection and how you can reverse long term negative beliefs that can be some peoples root causes behind unexplained infertility and Endo pain. The need for taking control, hope, belief and empowerment when it comes to health conditions and not to accept negative believe patterns as the truth. The believe you can reverse conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis through reversing our thought processes. How our bodies are incredible and have the ability to heal with the right physical, mental and spiritual tools. The pain-fear-tension triangle in relation to Endometriosis and how visualisation and meditation could be used to break this and assist with reducing Endo pain.
