Testimonial for Kym Benner

Kym was my doula for the birth of my daughter in 2007. I had a wonderful birth experience and was able to deliver my daughter naturally, (as I had hoped for) largely due to Kym's support. Kym's constant optimism, calmness, and amazing ability to know what to do to help ease the pain got me through 32 hours of labor! Kym was there for me even before the birth by setting up get-togethers so that we would feel comfortable with each other and so that she knew my preferences. Kym also helped me after my daughter came home with breastfeeding support as well as a number of other questions that I had.
My husband and I took Bradley Childbirth classes, and when I started looking into hiring a doula, my husband was at first upset that he had put so much time and effort into the classes. He thought that the doula would be taking his place as the "coach," a role which he had worked very hard to learn. Amazingly, after the birth of our daughter, he declared that the money we spent on hiring Kym was the BEST money we had ever spent! He said that he was so glad to have her there because she really KNEW exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it.
Kym has recently been there for me through two miscarriages and provided emotional support as well as lots of information. She truly cares about her clients and is the kind of person that you feel comfortable with the moment you meet her.
