Testimonial for Kym Benner
There aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe Kym. Although my husband, Rey, and I had no intention of hiring a doula (we were looking for a childbirth teacher), the moment I spoke to Kym on the phone, my gut immediately told me to trust her.I’m so glad I did.
Being pregnant for the first time, I had so many questions and worries about childbirth. Kym was there to appease all of them. From the day we met her til our son was born (and even after), she was always available for anything I needed. She was reassuring and very sincere. I really felt the genuine care she had for me.
Rey and I are medical “dummies”. We didn’t want to go to a hospital and be at the mercy of the medical staff and just say “yes” to everything they suggested. We needed an advocate especially when we were aiming for an all-natural birth. Although we designed a medical intervention-free birthplan, I ended up having a 22- labour and a C-section in the end. The hospital staff in the facility I delivered were terrible and unprofessional to say the least and I had a terrible birthing experience. The ONLY ray of light we had during the entire birth experience (aside from having our son) was having Kym there.
From the time she came to our house at 2AM on a Sunday night, till 8:45PM when I delivered, she was with me the entire time. She was there to relax me for EACH and EVERY contraction I had. She was there to “catch” my throw-up when I was reacting to the meds given to me. She was there to help Rey and I decide with C-section was, indeed, necessary. She was just THERE for all of us: body, mind, heart and soul. She wasn’t a mere “hired help”. She was really our angel; and now our friend.
If you’re searching for a doula, stop looking. You’ve found your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow right here. Don’t just get a doula. Get Kym.
