Kate Zachary

Doula

My path to becoming a Lactation Consultant and Educator was paved by working for many years as a Doula (both birth and postpartum) and a Midwife's Assistant. It was through this work that I was able to bear witness to and support women through the challenges of birth and breastfeeding.

I received my IBCLC certification through the Lactation Consultant Education program through the University of Southern California San Diego and completed over 300 clinical hours at a combination of Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, as well as private practice consultations.

    Working with Kate was the absolute best experience. She was generous with her time, knowledge and love for me and my husband as we went through an amazing process. I was so grateful for her before, during and especially after the birth of my daughter. She empowered me with love and knowledge, and I am forever grateful. She is a true gem and anyone lucky enough to work with her is blessed.

    My wife and I recently had a baby girl, and we hired Kate as our doula through the process. Kate is amazing. Even though we delivered at Cedars we decided to have a doula guide us through the process since it is our first child ... We are a long way from thinking about another child but if we do we will definitely ask Kate to help us through the process again. She is amazing.

    Kate was our doula for the birth of our daughter, our first kid. She was great. (Well, they both were.) She worked with us in the months leading up to the birth to make sure we knew what to expect, and on the day of, her presence brought warmth and comfort to the hospital room. ... Overall my experience was very much in line with the positive reviews from other Yelpers.
