Virtual Chat with Dr. Charminae

Join me, Dr. Charminae, for a transformative one-hour prep session that’ll have you feeling informed, empowered, and actually ready for birth. Whether you’re just starting your journey or counting down the days, this is your time to ask questions, clear the confusion, and get real support. Together, we’ll map out (or glow-up) your birth plan, talk through any concerns—including those “is chiropractic safe while I’m pregnant?” kinda questions—and dive into real strategies to help you feel good in your body through pregnancy and labor.

You’ll walk away with your personalized Birth Plan Blueprint and practical tools to help you feel more at ease now and ready for birth. 

Perinatal Chiropractor, Doula, Childbirth Educator & Body Ready Method Pro

Hey hey, mama! I’m Dr. Charminae, and let me tell you, I am so pumped to be teaching mamas how to prepare for birth after a seven-year hiatus. (Yes, seven whole years where did the time even go?!) But I’m back, baby—and ready to bring all the magic, wisdom, and realness to this space.

I’m a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor based in sunny Los Angeles, CA, where I provide loving and NURTURING chiropractic care to pregnant and postpartum mamas and their sweet little babies. I started this wild and wonderful journey back in December 2013 in Dallas, Texas. And although I wasn’t a mama myself (and had zero plans of becoming one), I knew I had to dive deeper into the world of birth work if I was going to show up fully for my mamas. So I rolled up my sleeves and became a birth doula in 2015 and a childbirth educator in 2016. Since then, I’ve collected more trainings and certifications than I can count, most recently becoming a Certified Body Ready Method Pro and a Body Ready Birth Teacher in 2024. Growth is totally my love language, baabeee. LOL  

This journey has taught me how to give care that doesn’t just help your body function better, but also gives you the knowledge and confidence to trust your instincts and own your power. Because this path to mamahood?… It’s sacred. And you deserve to walk it with ease, peace, and a whole lot of support. And, I’m here to help you to achieve just that.

Before I dip—let’s lighten things up by telling you some randomness, shall we?… When I’m not doing my thing in the birth world, you can catch me hiking in nature, vibin’ out to the dopest tunes, traveling this globe, deep cleaning my space like it’s a ritual, journaling my thoughts, or just living as a forever student and creator of this beautiful life.

It is with great honor and joy that I serve you!  Peace. ✌🏽 

What mamas are saying?…

A few testimonials from over a decade of serving the perinatal community through chiropractic care, childbirth education, and doula services.

Dr. Charminae has been amazing during this Covid-19 season. I have been working with her virtually for the past three months. She answers my questions thoroughly and empowers me to ask the difficult questions to my midwife. Though I have two months to go. I recommend Dr. Charminae as a virtual doula if you are out of state. She is a wealth of knowledge and great support system! During appointments, she makes sure that my husband feels empowered and properly educated to make informed decisions on my behalf during labor. Doulas significantly reduce the risk for unnecessary interventions. Definitely worth looking into. Thanks Dr. Charminae!

A. Mathis

My pregnancy was a breeze because of Dr. Charminae. I had hip and back pains that I thought were normal for a pregnant woman. I felt relief after my first session! I had no issues during my pregnancy and had a very easy delivery. 3 pushes and my little one was here! I know Dr Charminae was the reason for this. I would recommend her to every pregnant woman. Chiropractic care is a definite necessity that doctors don't tell you about. It eased my stress and made my baby super comfy. Dr Charminae is super knowledgeable about her craft and different holistic methods for having a smooth pregnancy. She made this process very easy and manageable for me and my family. I owe my wonderful experience to her care.

S. Diego

I met this incredible woman at a birth class that she was giving back in Dallas. It was my first time being pregnant and not knowing what to expect nor having a birth plan whatsoever, but after leaving her class I was so relieved and confident as to what to expect on the big day. I'm so happy that I went to that class because I had been wanting to go to a chiropractor that specialized in maternity and with her fabulous help she was able to release some of the discomfort in my last weeks of pregnancy. Not only did I go to her on my last trimester, but continued to go to her post pregnancy. I was emotional when I found out she was leaving Dallas to find a new journey in Los Angeles, but I know that I can always contact her if needed. LA you are lucky to have this woman in your town!

I sought out Dr. Charminae's services when my baby was transverse at 35 weeks. She is a true gem! My baby turned after 3 sessions and my pelvis, which was out of line, feels so much better after her magic touch. Beyond that, Dr. Charminae is genuine and warm. She really takes her time to listen and develops a personalized plan of action. I also really appreciate all her suggestions for supportive exercises and relaxation techniques to do at home. I'll continue to recommend her to all my friends seeking perinatal chiropractic care!

V. Beaboa

Absolutely love this amazing lady and her practice. It has been a bright place during a pregnancy that has been filled with a lot of anxiety and stress. She has not only relieved ongoing physical pains that I have been experiencing but also has been a place of centering and peace. Strongly recommend her services. I am now in the postpartum period, and it has literally saved my life. Dr. Charminae is still listening to me and my body while working on my recovery after giving birth. She has also worked on baby boy several times because his growth is rapid and he occasionally requires assistance. We both adore her, and the atmosphere she fosters is a constant oasis in my week. If you're on the fence, go ahead and try it and talk to her. She always responds to every question with wisdom and care. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with the care you receive for your body and mind by working with Dr. Charminae. Worth every cent and minute of your time. 5 stars all the way!

N. Gonzales

Working with Dr. Charminae for chiropractic care was the best decision I made during this pregnancy. I was experiencing lower back and pelvic pain and wanted to ensure that my body was in optimal alignment as I was attempting a VBAC. In comparison to my first pregnancy, my body felt amazing! I was not experiencing pain and was able to work out/stay active most days without a belly band, which was not the case during my first pregnancy. Additionally, Dr. Charminae’s gentle approach and soothing environment was just the self care I needed. I looked forward to seeing her every week! I felt confident, relaxed, and well taken care of going into labor and delivery. I can’t recommend Dr. Charminae’s services enough- she really helped my body feel prepared and helped me maintain a grounded energy & I GOT THE VBAC THAT I WANTED!
