I have been a Doula for over 20 years now and I believe that every woman should have a Doula to support her throughout her pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum time. I have been in practice in the Inland Empire for over 10 years. I have been featured in the newspaper, popular pregnancy magazines and also on an NBC television show. I adore what I do and I couldn't do it without the constant support from my husband and children!
I am a Childbirth Educator as well. I believe that teaching Childbirth classes is an extension of my prenatal support, thereby being able to offer more to my clients!
A Doula is a Greek word meaning "birth attendant" or "mother's helper". A Doula gives emotional, physical and informational support to women during her pregnancy, labor/delivery and postpartum time. A Doula is sometimes called a Birth Assistant or Labor Coach. A Doula is trained and experienced in childbirth and accompanies expectant parents through labor and birth, helping them make a smooth transition from pregnancy to parenthood.

" It is always a pleasure to work with Kym. I know if she is with a couple during labor - they will always be well taken care of and have their needs met." Holly (RN) - Riverside

Growing up with a Labor and Delivery Nurse as a mom lit the passion in me for the process of bringing life into the world. I realized that I wanted to be with the woman throughout her pregnancy, labor and postpartum. THIS is why I became a Doula!!!
Midwife and RN Endorsed
" Kym Benner is an outstanding Doula, I honestly don't think I could have made it through the birth of my daughter without her! "
" The biggest thing I can say is that we want Kym to be there the next time we have a baby as well! "She will be in the top 10 phone calls when we get pregnant again! " Theresa - Riverside
" Having Kym the Doula with us during the births of our son Joey and our daughter Julia, was just as important as having the doctor there to deliver the babies." Michael - Riverside
" If someone had to run out in the hall and ask for someone to come in, Kym could do it and I didn't have to think about any of the technical stuff. just be there for my wife."
Michael - Riverside
" I would never even think about going into a labor and delivery room without 3 things; my pregnant wife, the camera, and Kym! "
" I was MORE there for my wife because of Kym! "
" We came in contact with Kym, and she was so fun, wonderful and comforting. She was so great during the pregnancy, coming over, teaching, talking with us and helping us decide about how the labor and delivery could happen. It took the worry out of the process." Helen & Troy - Redlands
" I truly believe that her support is what got me through the initial learning curve of having a baby, the feeding every few hours, the diapers, questions that a first time mother has of her baby. I would recommend Kym to any mother, moms need special TLC and support of someone who knows and loves to help and loves babies and that is Kym. She can make any difficult day seem so manageable." Helen - Redlands
" I don't know what this mother would have done without her! " Helen - Redlands
" She was there for me during the weeks my husband traveled in the beginning and she was there long after the baby was born and continues to be the caring, supportive person I have come to call a special friend."
" I listened to Kym coach me on relaxing and breathing. I would focus on her voice and her instruction which made it easier to bear the contraction. If you have ever taken a relaxation class, yoga, or have done meditation... Kym's coaching is similar to that. Not only do your ears need to listen to Kym's voice and words, but your body does too. Your body is what needs to relax."
" Kym, in my eyes, is an angel. What other kind of person can go with you into the delivery room and coach YOU through such an emotional and physical rollercoaster AND get your husband calm and informed of the whole process?! " Nancy - Moreno Valley
" She doesn't over ride the husband's part in the whole thing." Scott- Riverside
" Kym is an amazing doula! Next to my husband, I wouldn’t want another person by my side. I am a teacher and my husband is a computer programmer. We pride ourselves on being knowledgeable and independent. We do not have any family here in California and we knew we needed help. Kym took care of all three of us." Theresa - Riverside
" She rubbed my feet, walked with me, encouraged me to sit on the ball, coached me, gave me pep talks and so much more. She was equally there for my husband as well. Some people asked if a doula got in our way or if we didn’t have any private time for ourselves. The answer is “NO” to both! "
" When I needed her by my side, there was her hand. She was always professional and personable. I didn’t have to worry about anything embarrassing happening in front of her. She has seen it all. I knew she had my best interests at heart."
" It was such a great comfort to have Kym there because she has been through this so many times not only as a doula but as a mom herself."
" Is it worth the money? Every cent. I don’t think you can put a price tag on peace of mind." Mike - Corona
" Throughout the process, she helped me understand everything that was going on, eased my fears, and was there to support us at every turn. Kym was wonderful and indispensable.” Jana- Corona
" She was there to provide support, encouragement and strength during my labor."
" I can't say enough wonderful things about what a kind, giving and reliable person she is. My birth process was such a wonderful experience with her there." Kris - Riverside
" I would not trade this experience for any other. It is the hardest thing, and the most important thing, I have ever accomplished. And Kym made it all possible." Kari - Corona
My daughter and a client's baby who my husband and I became Godparents to, her name is Evie!
"We were thrilled to have you as our Doula for the birth of our first child. After our move out of state, the Doula we hired for our second child was fine, but Sal and I figured if we were rich we'd rather have flown YOU in!" Sylvia - Knoxville, TN

"You are the most awesome doula, I can't imagine going through childbirth without you there keeping me happy and sane. Thank you for helping MIKE help me give birth to both of our beautiful children. I can't believe it's already been 3 1/2 years since I found you when I was expecting Joey... so glad I did!"
