The Risk to BLOOM

and then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk to bloom

~ Anais Nin circa 1920

It takes but one breath to reopen our heart chamber and allow love back in when by doing so we know that inevitably we will hurt again.

After over 15 years in corporate law, I became exceptionally disconnected with "real life". I was emotionally and physically exhausted all of the time. I had little to no personality left and that was before I even knew how good I had it. I was working for the largest pharmaceutical distribution company in the world, Fortune 5, reported directly to the General Council who reported directly to the CEO at the height of the Opioid Crisis. I needed a break that was certain. Without fully understanding how the "world works" for a lack of better terminology, the way that I went about getting that nap irrevocably changed my life forever.

BLOOM is a gift that just sort of landed in my lap. Celebrating love with couples and families, being a part of their journey has become a passion that has refueled my spirit, brought warmth back to my heart, allowed me the gift of forgiving and loving myself again, properly mourn my losses and pass the light that was within them on to others who are in pain.

This site is dedicated to my Matt, my father and my two beautiful sons.

& to Tiare Bordes from Mansion by the Sea, thank you.
