CHARM CARDS

I'm Maggie de Vera and I've created the Charm Cards©- an innovative yet simple deck of playing cards with a therapeutic component.

I’ve been in the helping/healing profession for going on 30 years. I've seen so many people struggle in their relationships- for MANY reasons-and some HUGE reasons are usually due to poor communication, a lack of understanding, and a lack of quality time.

I've envisioned these and wanted to create the concept of these cards since 2014. My vision was to create a very simple yet powerful tool that can promote positive communication, and deeper understanding, appreciation and gratitude, bonding and stronger connection, and creating and having fun together in the process of playing.

So finally, as of this year, with my new team who I'm so proud of- Andrea, Dominic, Francis and a few other helpful people- we began the creation of my vision- the Charm Cards.

These games are designed to provide countless benefits with just a simple deck of cards that prompts powerful and profound questions and answers.

To share some of the feedback of the cards for those who have tried-

a 10 year old boy- who tends to not open up said, "these cards help you communicate with your family but in a good way- by having fun."

A 17 year old described it as "it's one of the easier ways to know stuff about someone without being a therapist..."

Parents have described these cards as great, fun and "thought provoking"- they've said:

"it makes me think of things I haven't thought of before and was great to share it with my family."

You know it's really important for the family to hear stories from one another.

One powerful experience led to a father finding out something about his son that he never would've known until it would've been too late... He said, "Maggie, this game can save lives..." and that meant so much for me to hear.
