About Charmaine Cheryle

about charmiane cheryle
I am a Babaylan practitioner, teacher, and healer based in Brooklyn, New York.

My work is rooted in Indigenous Filipino tradition, where I channel healing energies from Source together with the wisdom and presence of my Ancestors through Trance. Spirit, my Ancestors, and my Guides work with me to support the shifting, balancing, and reconnection of energy within each individual — allowing for emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing.

As an Evidential Medium, I am also able to bring through loved ones in Spirit, offering their presence, support, and messages of love in a grounded and meaningful way.

Each session is guided by Spirit with the intention of meeting you where you are — supporting you in moving forward with greater clarity, calm, and a deeper sense of connection.

My Own Journey

My path into this work was shaped through my own healing journey with breast cancer.

During that time, I experienced firsthand how powerful energy work and connection with Spirit can be. Reiki and crystal healing became essential tools in helping me manage pain and support my healing process alongside Western medical treatment.

It was during this experience that something within me began to shift.
I felt a deep pull to continue — to learn, to understand, and to follow where my Soul was leading me.

That path led me into Mediumship.

Exploring different forms of mediumship opened a new level of awareness, healing, and understanding of who I am and the work I am here to do. Through this development, I came to understand that healing in a Trance state allows Spirit to step forward while I remain present — creating a space where energy can be shared directly and intentionally.

Lineage and Calling

As a first-generation American, born and raised in Brooklyn, and a full Indigenous tribal member of the Cuyonon and Kagayanen tribes from Palawan in the Philippines, my work is deeply connected to my lineage.

Through my connection with Spirit and my Ancestors, and through many confirmations over time, I came to understand that I come from a long line of Babaylans and healers.

This was not something I set out to become.

It is something that awakened within me.

Today, my work is a partnership — a weaving of traditional and modern — as I continue to work alongside my Ancestors and Spirit in service, from my home in Brooklyn.

Expression Through Writing

My work also extends into writing and poetry, where I share reflections, insights, and pieces that are co-created with Spirit.

These writings offer another way to connect — gently supporting others in their own healing, remembrance, and self-discovery.

Before you can touch the Spirit,
you must find it within yourself.
For all truth, for all knowledge and all love,
must be found first within oneself.
