Testimonials

"Being as it was my first birth your presence as my doula made me feel more supported and prepared for the change of a labor. I would let them know that having you there was extremely beneficial and comforting and having a trustworthy and knowledgeable person to go through it with you can make a hug difference"  - Birth Client 

"I want to sincerely thank you for everything you do...for how you show up for the community, time and time again, with such care and compassion. You supported, you connected, and you made a lasting impact, especially with the mother whose baby is currently in the NICU. The time you took to talk with her, even though she couldn’t stay for the full event, was such a powerful act of love and presence. That’s what makes you so special. You meet people where they are, and you bring comfort when they need it most. TruDoulas represents so much more than services—you represent a lifeline, a source of strength and resources, and a consistent presence in people’s lives." -  Community Partner

"The diapers that I received from TruDoulas, really are very helpful because there are weeks that I have major bills and my income is limited. Being a single parent & just making monthly expenses are necessary for survival. Other baby items, education that are provided through TruDoulas, are great as well!!! This is an amazing program & huge support for mothers & babies." -Supported Through Mary's Stork Closet 

"Jodie did a wonderful job comforting and coaching client through a very hard labor and delivery – client had an epidural that wasn’t working well. I think she would have requested a c-section had she not add additional support." -Midwife

"She was amazing, very soft spoken and calm."  -Birth Client 

" As a single mother of 3, from the ages of 10, 9, and 1 1/2 that went through 2 major fires, less than 8 months apart. My family lost everything. No home, clothes, food, essentials and furniture. We had to start from scratch. After being referred to [TruDoulas], from Trenton School board, to receive diapers, wipes, and essentials for my newborn was heaven sent. Thanks to TruDoulas, our life has changed tremendously. I could not thank this program and the team enough for all their hard work and dedication to helping families in need as myself. Thank you TruDoulas "

"I can't thank you enough for your help and support today Jodie!!! I am so grateful for you!! Thank you so much..." - Birth Client

"Best idea ever hiring Mary the doula. We truly appreciated having her be our advocate during our pregnancy, labour and delivery. We contacted Mary from Tru Doulas of NJ. She was able to ease that anxiety with her resources, classes and knowledge. She assisted us with putting together a birthing plan and was my advocate during labor. Even though I ended up with being induced and ultimately having a c-section because of medical reasons, her and her team brought so much comfort during labor. We recently hired her again because my 21 year old daughter is expecting her first child and I couldn't think of anyone who I trust more to be her advocate than Mary and her team." -Birth Client

“She was present during my first birth experience. I can share that she was very

excellent at what she did and provided comfort and knowledge to everyone around her

including the most important person in the room, the mother.” – Doula Mentee
 

"Myriam was a saint on earth. As a new mom to triplets, I was incredibly overwhelmed

and exhausted beyond words. Myriam came into our lives through a friend of a friend.

The first day she came to meet us, one of the babies started crying and she

immediately tended to him. She helped me through postpartum depression and so

much more! If it wasn’t for Myriam, I don’t know where I would be today. I am eternally

grateful for her nurturing, understanding, and guiding me through my first 6 months of

motherhood." - Postpartum Client

"Mary was an amazing provider of overnight support for our newborn twin boys. She

was warm, knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, confident, and a great support

system for our family.” - Postpartum Client
