The midwife’s role is that of a guide, partnering with you through your pregnancy.
Every birth has a story and I want to walk beside you in yours. Birth is a very individualized process. The time we share allows me to know you. I delight in sharing in the journey of your unique family.

Prior to birth work, Jen earned a BA in Art. When not at a birth or in prenatals, you'll find Jen out in her garden, enjoying a cup of tea with her husband Chris or speaking French with her sons Pascal and Cassien, both born at home.
Jen actively engages the midwifery community through advocacy and has trained midwives throughout the years. She is committed to maintaining curiosity and open-heartedness, continuing to learn, be up-to-date and grow as a midwife. Jen is working towards her International Board Certified Lactation Consulting Certificate.
SHE BELIEVES DEEPLY THAT CHILDBIRTH CAN BE A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS, TEACHING MIDWIVES AND FAMILIES ALIKE.
Having experienced the variety of providers and care in many hospital settings, Jen was drawn to the holistic aspects of homebirth and, specifically, the Certified Professional Midwife credential.
She recognized that training solely out-of-hospital would be the best preparation to practice in the home setting with its unique dynamics and to instill trust in the normalcy of birth.
To help create a supportive network within home birth, Jen and her close colleagues united to form Denver Midwives Collective, a group of midwives and their practices offering consistent back-up and common key protocols and with the goal of increasing community within home birth.
As a Certified Professional Midwife, registered to practice in Colorado since 2011, Jen Anderson-Tarver has served hundreds of different families with attentive and skilled care.
