To Swaddle or Not to Swaddle
This is one of the most common questions parents ask me, and it’s
MothersCare provides help for birthing couples and postpartum families. Our nurturing doulas assist with what you need most — easing the stress of delivery and increasing the joy of bringing your baby home by providing emotional and practical support.

Studies show continuous support during labor results in fewer C-Sections. Happy birth!


A night or two (or more) of sleep can help you both through the early weeks. More sanity!

MothersCare Doula Services is owned and operated by Susan Shepard. It began in 1993, but its beginning actually occurred with the birth of Susan’s twins in November of 1992. These babies were the fourth and fifth for Susan.
Our doulas are with you from the very beginning, provide ongoing emotional and physical support throughout your active labor and delivery. We know the labor process, available medications, and comfort techniques for both mom and dad. Our doulas are nurturing, reliable and intuitive.

I’ve had five babies and I’ve been a doula and owner of MothersCare
It can be very overwhelming to welcome your first baby! It's the most
Too Much Information – What to do with it all. When I was
Denise was a tremendous support for us when our son was a newborn. We were so thankful to have her & would highly recommend her and Mothers Care to any mom ❤️
We loved MothersCare and I don't know what we would have done without them. Every single person who came was amazing. I cannot recommend highly enough. And for anyone who is weighing whether to go with a service vs an individual, I would say that we never encountered issues with variability of people and having a service means they can cover you on short notice or if the doula has a personal emergency.
Great experience working with MothersCare! Sue was so easy to work with, great about communicating, and so helpful finding a good match. I ended up working with three different doulas to support our overnight needs and would absolutely use MothersCare again!
