- raising the standards of care for mothers and babies -
Highland Midwife Birth Services is owned by Lorri Carr in Goldendale. We are happy to announce that a new midwife has joined the practice, Laurel Tiphareth.
Lorri is a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in Washington, Utah, and Texas (no longer renewing Oregon license, serving within Oregon strictly as a Traditional Midwife only).
Laurel is a Certified Nurse Midwife who is licensed in Washington as a Midwife, an Independent Clinical Social Worker, and an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner.
We specialize in complete prenatal care, home births, and postpartum care. We also offer gentle and thorough gynecological care, almost all birth control options, nutritional analysis, and both prescription medicines and herbal remedies.
We serve mothers throughout Klickitat county to the Columbia River Gorge and into Oregon.
Office appointments are available at our office in Goldendale; on Tuesdays with Lorri, and other days by arrangement with Laurel (usually Wednesdays).
Our job is to make certain that you are healthy and well-informed as well as completely supported, and that your care not only meets but exceeds medical standards, so you can experience the incredible joy of birthing your baby comfortably in your own home. If you plan to birth in a hospital, we are happy to provide you with the best prenatal care and postpartum follow-up care.
UPDATE: as of fall of 2021, the governors of Washington and Oregon have proclaimed illegal mandates which attempt to force healthcare providers to take experimental drugs, and threaten criminal and civil penalties against us for declining those medical procedures. Lorri was forced to retire her Oregon license due directly to these mandates. She will only be attending births as an assistant or as a traditional unlicensed midwife in Oregon as of November 2021. Insurance billing will no longer be possible for Oregon clients. If that leaves you without care, or concerns you for the obvious ethical reasons, please feel free to complain directly to the governor.
Anyone desiring care from Lorri, even telehealth consults, will need to first sign this Vaccine Exemption Form. You can sign, scan, and email it, or upload it to DocuSign and send it to Lorri. It can also be signed, a good clear photo taken, and texted to Lorri.
