Testimonial for Kate (Jacobsen) Agyei Yeboah
Hiring Kate as my doula was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancies. After surviving a near death experience, every pregnancy that followed came with a lot of fear and uncertainty. As a Black woman, I also carried the very real concerns that so many of us have about Black maternal health and being heard in medical settings. I knew I needed someone who understood the weight I was carrying and who could advocate for me when I wasn't always in the best position to advocate for myself.
Kate made me feel seen, heard, informed, and supported every step of the way. She had an incredible ability to explain what was happening, answer my questions, remind me of my options, and help me make decisions that felt right for me. Just knowing she was in the room gave me a level of peace that is hard to put into words. I never questioned whether she would speak up if something didn't feel right because she had already earned my trust long before labor began.
She also helped my husband feel confident in how he could support me, which made the experience even more meaningful for both of us. Her presence allowed us to focus on welcoming our baby instead of navigating every unknown on our own.
Birth is one of the most vulnerable experiences you'll ever have, and having Kate there made all the difference. She brought a calm confidence into the room that helped me stay grounded, and I always knew I had someone protecting my voice and honoring my wishes.
Years later, I still tell expecting parents that hiring a doula is one of the best investments you can make. For me, Kate was more than a doula. She was an advocate, a steady presence, and someone who helped me feel safe during one of the most important experiences of my life. I will always be grateful for the care, wisdom, and compassion she gave our family.
If you're considering working with Kate, I cannot recommend her enough.
