We got Doulas all over the globe, Doulas all over the Lou, but what we don't have, is a Doula quite like you!

To our future graduates of Tru's Community Doula training, be you, and don't ever let anyone tell you that you have to look, walk or talk a certain way to be a Doula, we need you, just how you are. Doulas look just like me and you near & afar!
