I bet you didn’t know that I cry when clients leave. 😅
Somewhere along the way, they became more than a client to me. I know it’s part of this job, but that doesn’t make it any easier. When you spend months or years working with a child and their family, celebrating their wins, working through the hard days, and watching them grow, you care. At least I do.
So why am I sharing this openly?
Because when you choose Bloom, you’re choosing to work with me. And I want you to know that means more to me than you might think. Your child is on my mind outside of our sessions. I think about them when I’m making decisions, when I come across a new activity, when I’m researching, or when I’m talking with other professionals. I’m constantly asking myself, what can I do differently?
But choosing Bloom also means choosing a very small business. There is a lot that happens behind the scenes to stay open that you don’t see. You aren’t supposed to see it. The required medical documentation for every single visit, planning, billing, insurance, hours of continuing education, phone calls, scheduling, expenses, and all of the other things that come with running a business as a medical provider.
Did I mention expenses? Most of the time that I work is actually unpaid, and a lot of it is spent waiting on insurance to pay. Trying to keep services accessible, while also keeping a small business afloat, is not for the weak. That’s a post for another day because there is so much more to it than people realize.
I’m sharing this because I don’t want you to just see another business. I want you to understand the person behind it.
I don’t just see a small business when I look at Bloom. I see years of schooling, hard seasons, financial sacrifices, long days, countless decisions, many prayers, and a whole lot of heart. But most of all, I see the children and families who have trusted me. I replay the memories: first words, reading for the first time, a high-five, laughs, smiles, and happy tears. Families going from hopeless to hopeful. 🙌🏼
Maybe I care too much sometimes. Maybe I take some of it home with me when I shouldn’t. But I know myself better than anyone and that deep care isn’t going anywhere.
What makes choosing Bloom different?
It’s me. And I think I am just now admitting that.
To my past and present clients: thank you. Your trust, support, referrals, and willingness to let me be part of your child’s journey means more to me than you probably realize.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! 🩵
