She took me later on in my pregnancy as we were coming from out of state and I was nervous about having to re establish with a new midwife. I’m so gratduI found her thanks to a referral! As a first time mom I didn’t know what to expect with birthing a whole human!! Let alone,An unmediated home birth! What a ride! Shelton made me feel at ease and comfortable from my first appointment to the delivery. Labor was hard and exhausting (do your breath work!) but with Shelton and the extra support from Grace- who is also amazing and super sweet I was very happy to have her present, I made it through a successful unmediated home birth! Even when I doubted my ability to keep going. Her and Shelton knew exactly what I needed when I needed it. If and when I am brave enough to do it all over again I will hands down be calling Shelton!"

"Our family was so excited to start our home birth journey with Shelton Livingston and although she came with wonderful recommendation from family and friends we were not expecting to find someone who we truly love like family. It’s hard to put into words what her care felt like for myself, my husband and my two older kiddos but if you are looking for someone to guide you through the gift of home birth I can say without a doubt she’s a wonderful choice. Her care during pregnancy, birth and after was and still is the biggest blessing to our family and we are forever grateful for her."

"Shelton was amazing! If you want someone who is truly skilled in their practice and actually really cares about you and your baby then she's your midwife. Shelton and her assistant Ari went so far as making my husband and I eggs after my birth to ensure we were taken care of along with our new born child. I can't thank her enough for making my birth such a positive experience."

"I'm so happy I found Shelton!! I had my first child at a hospital and for my second I decided I wanted to have a homebirth and do things differently. I took my time and interviewed different midwives and when I met Shelton I knew instantly I wanted to hire her. It was a gut feeling! We had long conversations about my wishes and I enjoyed every prenatal visit I had with her. She listened and believed in my ability to birth and held my hand every step of the way. I couldn't be more grateful to have had such a great experience. She will forever have a special place in our hearts!"

"Shelton was at my birth at home with my first baby and it was everything I wanted it to be. She provided just the right support where I felt comfortable. I wanted her to be extremely hands-off and she respected that. I would recommend her to anyone in the area and am bummed that I moved across the country and can’t attend the birth of my second in a few months. She’s kind and gentle and trusts women’s bodies to do what they were made to do :)"

"I was gifted the most amazing 3rd pregnancy and birth with Shelton as my midwife. I’m a doula and midwife assistant and was blown away by Shelton’s care. She went above and beyond on everything. From the practical care, depths of knowing my heart (often Beyond what I was aware of), and love of my very curious toddler’s rummaging through her bags each visit. Shelton met me with grace, friendship, and true skill. I would go back to her again and again for future babes. She is educated, experienced, kind, and wise."

"Shelton’s midwifery care helped bring my home birth dreams to life. At my prenatal visits she gave me a level of attentiveness and care I know I couldn’t find elsewhere. Our visits covered me and Baby’s medical care, motherhood, breastfeeding, mental and emotional health, and ways my husband could support me and the baby. When she attended my birth, she was compassionate and empathetic to my experience. She had a watchful eye on me and the baby while also knowing when to step back and let the process unfold naturally. We are so blessed to have gotten close to her these past 9 months and we will be definitely coming back to her for baby #2!"
