"Kym Benner sucked as a doula". That, I guarantee, is a statement you will never hear any of her clients say about her. Kym is super woman when it comes to giving all that she has got. I actually contemplated on hiring her. But after two c-sections, I felt like a failure because the reasons for the cesareans were just not good enough. My husband and I decided to do things differently this time. I researched and consulted Kym 24/7. She revamped my 6 page birth plan into a wonderful condensed 1 page birth plan that I will keep for life. I constantly texted her when I was 42 weeks. When I went into labor, she came at dawn, so energetic, she gave me a renewed strength I didnt know I had in me. She watched The Business of Being Born with me. She massaged, coached, suggested, made me sniff some awesome lavender scented calming stuff, she respected my personal space, but was there for me at the same time, she caressed my face and tidied up my hair, and she was with me for two days, at least, while I labored at home. I had planned a home birth, but my body deciding to stay at 8cm for 24 hours. And that's the beauty of it all. To trust that God always has the best plan. And among that plan, my husband and I knew that we would not want anyone else to be our doula except Kym. I'm not exaggerating at all, I swear Kym isnt paying me to write this. But I paid a small amount of money for my sanity throughout those 9 tough months. Can't put a price on birth, that's for sure. I know for a fact that the entire time I birthed at home with Kym and the rest of my birth team, I would not, and could not have taken so many intense insane back labor 8cm contractions. I would have caved. But I didnt, and I am so overwhelmed, honored and thankful to God that I was able to have a VBA2C. I love you Kym, for everything you have done for us. God bless you and your family. May you continue to do what you do to make birth a beautiful experience all. -Aisha and Sami Hoda
