Welcome to my website! If you are interested in learning more about homebirth and midwifery care you are in the right place.
I am currently an Intern Midwife. This means that I am practicing as a Primary Midwife under the direct guidance and supervision of my Preceptor, Jan Lapetino, RM, CPM. I have already completed a three year apprenticeship with Jan. We work well as a team and I am very honored to have her as my teacher/mentor midwife.
There are many benefits to working with an Intern Midwife. I have been learning the art of midwifery through direct experience as well as continuous study. I bring a style of care that is both comfortable and open. An active participant at many homebirths since 2005, I understand how to help a woman give birth in her own natural way. I am an open-minded midwife, and I am constantly learning and expanding. I also have Jan there and can draw on her 30 years of experience. So, in many ways, you get two midwives instead of one when you work with an intern such as myself!
I provide individualized midwifery care to families choosing a homebirth in the Denver Metro area of Colorado. If you find the information here of interest, please call me to set up a free consultation at 303-829-6941, or email me at marenkwood@gmail.com. I work with Jan Lapetino out of her Denver office and I see clients with her there.
Her office address is:
1777 S. Bellaire Street, Suite 305
Denver, CO 80222
From I-25 and Colorado Blvd., go north one block to Mexico
Turn right (east) on Mexico, go east one block to Bellaire St.
Turn right (south) on Bellaire, the office will be on the right side.
