Jasmine is an incredible midwife. I looked forward to each one of my appointments with her, and knew I could trust her with excellent care for me and my baby and family. She has been there for my last two babies and I'm so in debt to her for how she treated us. Jasmine is knowledgeable in all things surrounding pregnancy and birth and beyond, and I knew I could call her or text her with any question and she would respond in a way that felt validating and helpful! Oahu is so blessed to have this service
