Nar was our midwife for the birth of our 3rd baby. I had c-sections for my other two births and wanted to have a VBAC homebirth this time. Nar did our prenatal visits in the comfort of our own home during my whole pregnancy. It was such a relief to have her come to my home as I have two toddlers that are hard to get out the house with while pregnant. She was knowledgeable & attentive at every visit. Though I ended up being transferred to the hospital after laboring for hours, I still ended up having an unmediated vbac at the hospital and we owe our success to Nar's services. After delivery she provided 6 weeks of postpartum care that has been a God-send to my health and our family. We are eternally grateful for her divine calling in guiding babies earth side in a intuitive, natural, and indigenous way.

Nar Was my postpartum Doula. She is amazing. She allowed me to rest while she folded clothes watch my baby or my toddler. She organized my closet the babies closet. Anything I needed her to do she was willing and able to do. It was such a blessing to have her during such a delicate time. I highly recommend her.

My family is very grateful to Nar. Having our first child together the list of worries and anxiety was at times overwhelming, but the support, information, and assurance that she gave was comforting. My wife and I were able to have a natural home birth with Nar leading our birthing team. The home birth of our healthy baby was an incomparable experience. Nar provided the confidence we needed to make that happen. Forever thankful!

Im so grateful I was able to receive post partum support from Nar! She was very professional and had a warm calming presence. The knowledge she provided for my breast feeding journey was super helpful and reassuring. Thank you!

Nar was so gracious with all of my new mom worries. She was consistent with providing useful information for me and my husband and when I decided to switch from a natural hospital birth to a natural home birth she stepped up to put on her midwife hat for me and provided an amazing doula to take her place as a supportive person on my birth team. This was as close to a perfect experience that I could have asked for ??

Nar is absolutely amazing! She was apart of my birth team for a much needed postpartum visit. I had a lot of concerns as a first time mom that's 4 weeks in. I was educated properly on lactation and was reassured that I was doing everything right. My team cooked a meal, poured into me in so many ways, provided a postpartum yoni steam, answered all my questions, and gave me a break after a long week of being alone at home with baby. It was everything I never knew I needed and so much more. I gained a really sense of peace one Nar left and so did my baby. I am eternally grateful for this experience

Nar guided me & my partner through the most transformative journey of our lives. She radiates an aura of tranquility that eases all anxieties. Her wealth of knowledge & respect for the natural birthing process, empowered me to make informed decisions & feel confident in my choices. During my labor Nar intuitively anticipated my needs. Her expertise enabled me to experience the awe-inspiring miracle of labor in a deeply personal & meaningful way. Though my intended homebirth resulted in a transfer for a c-section I know that I made the best investment for the well being of myself & my family by having Nar on my journey. Nar isn’t just a healthcare professional, but an empathetic & committed friend. She stayed with me for most of my 5 day labor until transfer. We stayed in touch while I was in the hospital. After discharge Nar was waiting outside of my home when we pulled up! It was like she never left my side. Nar continues to be an unwavering source of support. She provides invaluable guidance on postpartum care, breastfeeding & emotional well-being. She was instrumental in facilitating a seamless transition into motherhood. Nar prioritized the healing of my body postpartum, with steams & wraps, herbs & oils, teas & salves! I am nearly 5 months in to my postpartum journey & still reaching for the mini apothecary she gave me. One of the oils she made helped me conquer Thrush & treat a yeast infection. My experience with this extraordinary midwife surpassed all expectations. She is a beacon of light. Her unwavering commitment to the well-being of mother, father & baby is evident in every aspect of her practice. I am infinitely grateful for her role in my journey, as she made the transition into motherhood a beautiful & transformative experience. If you are fortunate enough to have Nar by your side, rest assured that you are in the most capable, compassionate & skilled hands possible.

Nar is amazing. She worked with my sister through her pregnancy and with postpartum care after her home birth . Since I was around the whole time we built a great relationship as well. She talked me through what to do over the phone while my sister was in labor because she hadn't made it the house yet and everything was a success. She's so knowledgeable in holistic health which was comforting. I'm excited to work with her for other services.

I found Nar on a Google search when I was in desperate need of a doula. After the first conversation with her I knew she was the right one for me. I loved her energy and the sound of her voice. I hired Nar when I was about 28 weeks she helped me get through my doctors negativity as well as my nervousness of a homebirth. I ended up doing an unassisted homebirth with Nar on the phone because it happened so fast. Nar came right over and assisted me with my postpartum journey. I love the herbs she gives as well as the oils, I use the Rosemary one daily to help my breasts when breastfeeding. She has been a big help in me breastfeeding as well, I was nervous about my baby not latching but she helped me figure it out. She's been a true blessing I love her dearly for everything!

 

Thanks Nar!

Nar is amazing. She is very knowledgeable in midwifery and natural medicine.  My birth didn't go as planned due to an emergency c-section, but nar made sure I knew my rights in the hospital as well what I needed to do. She always made sure I had a clear head and understood everything. She will definitely be my midwife for the next pregnancy. I'm also happy to say she's become more like a sister than anything else!King, Kairo & I love you

Nar stepped in during my pregnancy at one of my most anxious times with care, reassurance, and knowledge. She empowered and encouraged me during this time and reminded me to be patient with myself. Nar is an amazing midwife with so much wisdom, she made me feel secure in her care. I was blessed to have her bring my baby earth side, she has many gems which make her an awesome birth worker along with the many other trades under her belt. Nar made me feel loved and cared for in her presence, grateful would be a understatement. One week later I'm still living on a high about my birth surrounded by loving capable black women such as Nar. Me and my baby girl Gianni are forever indebted for her care.

As a doula in Ga I have to say being in the same environment as Nar is a true HONOR! I have had the pleasure of being apart of the birthing team with 2 separate births and Nar served as the midwife. Her calm spirit and expertise is breathtaking. Nar taught me some things and such a great mentor and midwife. Our most recent birth was a homebirth and baby weighed 8lbs 7oz. With a great birthing team and your midwife there to coach you through the pushing stages anything is possible!!! I'm honored and grateful I was able to serve with Nar on the team. We started out as strangers but I've definitely added her to my sister list!!!

Having Nar a part of my clients homebirth was amazing! As the doula, @doulaofthedivine not only did I admire how Nar cared for my client but as well as I was able to learn for her. The care and dedication that she provided as a backup midwife for my client was hands down welcomed and needed! This is my second birth with Nar and hopefully not the last!!

I'm so glad I got to meet Nar. It's funny because I met her the day I was giving birth. My midwife fell sick and didn't get her Covid results in time for my birth, so she called on Nar to assist me. I was super nervous at first because I didn't know anything about her and I went through my whole pregnancy thinking I would be with one midwife and got another.  But everything worked out perfectly. I liked Nar as soon as she entered the room. Her energy was unmatched, she was very gentle and tended to all my needs. You would've thought we knew each other the whole pregnancy. She made me feel very confident and calm during birth. 

 

She provided postpartum services for me as well. She gave me my first ever v steam, which was so amazing I had to get another. I even told my sister and mom about it.  Then her belly mask...that gem left me speechless. It left my tummy a whole lot lighter, I truly loved it. When I have my next starseed Nar will be who I contact!!

Rhonda worked closely with our daughter post-partum. We do not live in the same state our daughter live and we couldn’t stay an extended time after the baby was born. We wanted to ensure our daughter and grandson were cared for. Rhonda eased our concerns, she treated them professionally and in a caring manner.
We definitely recommend Protector of the Womb, Rhonda Frazier.

Nar was the doula that assisted in my home water birth on March 8 2022. Nar's tenderness, care and attention to detail was evident during the after birth process. Her knowledge and level of experience in after birth and post partum care put me at complete ease. After a successful home birth I was happy Nar was a part of my birth team so an unnecessary trip to the hospital was avoided. She not only assisted in delivering the placenta but she inspected it and helped to clean me up so I could enjoy the first few moments of skin to skin with my daughter. Nar's presence brought a level of calm to myself and my family that I am so grateful for. If you are looking for a wise, caring and calm energy during your birth and post partum you need to have Nar as part of your birth team.

Nar has delivered 2 of my beautiful children within a 5 year period. During my most recent Pregnancy, delivery & postpartum care, she went above and beyond. She was an exceptional asset to my pregnancy journey and I truly couldn't have gotten through the transitional and delivery parts of my natural home birth with such ease without her. She was always patient with me and accommodating in my aspects of my pregnancy journey & quite knowledgeable about all topics I brought up about pregnancy, delivery & baby. She also provided me with many resources for my journey. During my delivery she made sure I was relaxed enough for baby to easily transition to her birth without delay.
I'm so appreciative on so many levels for Nar's presence & so thankful that she is on this path of purpose. Thank you so much!!!

Nar was very helpful in keeping me informed on my babies positioning & heart rate. She gave my partner a& I great tips on labor and how to move through it. I would definitely recommend her to other new mothers. Her postpartum visits were helpful also.

Hiring Nar as my doula allowed me the confidence to have the birthing experience of my dreams. My goal was to have a 100% natural home birth. This was my first child, so naturally I had a ton of questions but Nar really took time to educate me during my pregnancy, guide me through a 13 hour labor process, and re-assured me when I ultimately had to deliver in hospital! Though my ultimate goal took a turn, she empowered me that all would be well and it was!!! I delivered my daughter 100% natural and mostly at home. Grateful we had a Plan B (hospital) in place in case of emergency.

Thank you Nar for your incredible service, going above and beyond what was required and being such an integral part of my first child birth experience. I would absolutely recommend her doula services.

Choosing Rhonda as my Doula & opting for her postpartum service was the best decision I could’ve ever made. I had 3 children before I met Rhonda and I had a horrible experience with all 3 births. This time around I was determined to have a peaceful, home birth and meeting Rhonda at the time I did, just months before my due date, helped make my dream labor possible. I Loved the way Rhonda consistently educated us on what was to be expected during birth and she even had a cool, fun way to get us both involved with understanding the protocols and steps to labor and delivery. I Loved how comfortable she made us feel and she even helped us with a birthing plan for extended family members to help in any way they could during labor or postpartum. This helped save me lots of stress that most of us go through with family wanting to visit after Baby and often not helping because they may not how they could help.
I was blown away by her postpartum service. I had never heard of someone to have such a needed service to help cater to new Mommy’s for that long and for that price. It was amazing! There were things I needed done that I and my partner couldn’t do sometimes after having the Baby. Rhonda would either stop by herself to help or send one of her postpartum staff members to help. I’m certain that my 4th Baby would have been another bad experience during labor and postpartum if I hadn’t chose protector of the womb as my doula & postpartum service. Thank you so much for helping me create my dream Labor, delivery and postpartum experience.

Rhonda is a excellent and aamzing doula. Crazy thing is she and I were with child at the same time! She supported me with everything right up the birth of her little one and 24 hours later I gave birth to mine. Another sister that had gave birth 24 hours after me, so Rhonda was technically has helping two women at the same time while she was pregnant! After gvng birth to my fourth child, she helped me with with my postpartum and breastfeeding. When I found out I was pregnant with my fifth and last child, I basically ran to her door telling her she's stuck with me, making her laugh hard. My last pregnancy was more than comforting her knowledge of childbirth with no medicine, preparation of labor and everything in between helped me a great deal. My first two children was a month early, my third child was five days early and my fourth was five days late. This last one came on his exact due date in which I thought Rhonda wouldn't make it in time. My baby boy didn't come out until Rhonda walked into the delivery very room. With he help and guidance, my husband and I welcomed our son, Junior home.  It's been nearly three years and I still smile every time I remember Rhonda and her compassion and genuine help. I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone that want to have a safe and natural childbirth experience.

Rhonda is a passionate accredited consultant who assisted me and my husband during our first pregancy and birth. If it were not for her and her expertise we would not have had such an empowered natural vaginal water birth experience. She was with me during pregnancy, labor, birth and afterwards! I will have her as my doula again in the future.

Mama Rhonda is amazingggg!!! For all of your birth needs ! She helped me spiritually through my home birth of my first child, Mansa. My fiance and I were both first time parents and wanted to experience a home birth. For positive energy, the natural process and comfort. She also helped us with our breastfeeding and lotus birth. She took us under her care on such short notice after having to move back to Georgia only three months before our birth. We had multiple breastfeeding classes and prep classes for the big day. For our lotus birth she also assisted with the herbs for the placenta. My labor took 13 hours and she was there long after to make sure we were comfortable and that Mansa was latching on correctly. She was also very helpful post birth. We love her so much!!! I would recommend her services to anyone !! If anyone wants to contact me personally regarding my experience with her services you can send me an email at jatoiaspotts@gmail.com.

Rhonda was great! I'm glad that I met her to have a wonderful home birth. This was my 5th birth but 6th child. I wanted to have a Vbac after having 3 repeatedly c-sections. I refused to be cut again and was hard to find a doctor that would do a VBAC. Well was introduced to Rhonda and she was very supportive of what I wanted. She introduced me to a practice rhat supports VBACS after multiple c-sections to get their opinion. We recieved an okay and went from there. I could call and text her anytime needed. She was very knowledgeable on different herbs to help me get ready for delivery. When went into labor she came straight over. While delivering she had to pop my bag so that he could cont out. When did that she noticed that i had meconium. She wanted to be on the safe side and called 911 so that he could be suction out good. Before they got their she got the cord from around his neck and suction him out real good, and I had my beautiful baby boy. Ambulance was not needed. She was great and I appreciate her fast  just in case he ingested the meconium. A great experience with her!

First & foremost, I have to give all my thanks & appreciation to the Most High.  Credit goes to the Most High for allowing me to be able to find Rhonda who was patient & willing to provide tools I needed for my birthing journey. She gave great knowledge, positive vibrations, & support.  Thank you Rhonda for everything & we will bless you as you have blessed us with your assistance. Because of your assistance we were able to have the birth we imagined- a smooth labor & healthy child. You are my number 1 recommendation & will stay in contact. Peace& love.
