To become a doula, Kate underwent training for 4 years each from a different place to get trained properly. Nowadays, with so many new doula organizations opening up, Kate mentions, one can hire one for as much as $300 while the experienced ones can cost a lot more.

Result Of The Decision

While many think that those who leave acting after getting into are making the wrong decision, but that is not the case. Like every job, only those who have a passion and true love for acting can do great in it. Kate didn’t seem to have the same love for acting as childbirth.

Since Kate has stayed a doula for a good while now and does not seem like making a stop, we can say that Kate is not regretting her decision. The happiness felt when she looks at kids and finding out that she was there when they were born also makes her happy.

What Is Kate’s Net Worth?

Kate Danson is a great doula and a fantastic actress. With such a career under her belt, many people would wonder what her net worth is. Look no further, Kate Danson’s net worth is estimated at $1.5 million.

Kate Danson‘s career in acting may have been short, but she still makes occasional appearances in certain movies. One of her latest appearances includes being in Alien Theory release in July of 2019. Surely she has earned a fair share from this career.

Along with being an actress, Kate is also a professional doula. While people would think that the pay is not good, many would argue otherwise. In large cities like New York and Los Angeles, hiring an experienced birth doula can cost up to $3500 or more. While hiring an experienced one costs more, the average price is $25 to $30 an hour, meaning that the pay is good.

On the 26th of September, 2009, Kate tied the knot with producer and director Jesse Bochco. The couple was in love with each other for a very long time and their wedding was also quite grand. The wedding took place in Ojai and included their parents, step-parents, siblings and best friends.
