Description

In this episode of Optimize Your Naʻau, midwife Jasmine Merritt shares her powerful journey from Alabama to Hawaiʻi and her mission to provide culturally respectful midwifery care.

We dive deep into the importance of mindful conception, conscious pregnancy, and how both partners’ emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being shape not only the birth experience but the lifelong health and connection of their child.

Guest: Jasmine Merritt, CPM
