Meet Dr. Charminae

If you’ve made your way here from the home page, welcome a little deeper into my world. While you’ve already read about my philosophy and the heart behind Charms of Care, here’s where you get to meet the woman behind it all.

And yes… we’re going to have a little fun, too.

2 RANDOM (but very real) FACTS:

1. I constantly get called CharMAINE! That’s why I usually add a phonetic spelling behind my name whenever I get the opportunity. So, since this is another opportunity, here we go… I am Dr. Charminae (pronounced Shar-MEN-A & not Shar-MAINE  LOL!), and I’m so happy that you are here! 🙂
2. I am a free-spirited badass. I regularly march to the beat of my own drum because my beat is the only sound that I truly vibe with. If you feel me on this, snap your fingers in the air right now because this means that you are my people! Lovin’ the rhythms of our own vibes is the key to living an authentic life, IMO! “If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” ~Maya Angelou

Now let’s talk about why I do this sacred work… Why Charms of Care?

Well, the truth is that I have been divinely guided to do this work. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always found pregnancy to be so fascinating, but I did not know why. After chiropractic school, I started to realize there was way more to my fascination and “weird curiosity” than normal, so I decided to continue following that inner compass that dwells within me, and it led me right here! And boy, oh boy, this journey has been the biggest hug to my soul because I absolutely LOVE what I do. It literally fills my cup beyond the brim.

While I may not have my own birth story to share, I do have over a decade of experience and the honor of walking alongside thousands of mamas through pregnancy, postpartum, and some of the most transformative moments of their lives. That perspective, rooted in personal experience with deep observation, compassion, and intentional care, allows me to support this community with respect and genuine love.

That is why creating and building Charms of Care into a nurturing space where mamas feel safe, seen, heard, and supported is what I feel is deeply needed within this community. The perinatal experience is not just about mamas birthing babies. It is also about the birthing of a more refined version of themselves. Therefore, we honor this transformative phase by supporting the mama as a whole because her experience, her healing, and her well-being are vital not only for how she moves through this journey, but also for improving her overall experience and outcomes throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Every interaction, every conversation, and every touch is guided by that intention.

By blending my soul with my knowledge, skills, and clinical experience, I have been able to express two of my greatest gifts: to LOVE and to NURTURE. These two words are truly the heartbeat of Charms of Care. They shape the sound of my voice, the intention behind my care, and the touch of my hands with every mama I have the privilege of serving.

So, no, I am not your average chiropractor, and I am not trying to be, because I want my heart and soul to continue to effortlessly lead the way as I serve the beautiful mamas who enter this safe space of care. Through this deeply transformative season, I am here to welcome you with open arms and offer support that is grounded in creating more ease, connection, peace, and trust along your journey into birth, postpartum, and mamahood.

It is truly an honor and joy to serve you.

Peace.
