I’m also trained through Tampa General Hospital to assist in the OR and PACU, allowing me to remain a steady support during cesarean births when permitted. My approach is holistic, nurturing, and deeply personal. I offer guidance with comfort measures, birth planning, lactation, newborn care, and postpartum healing—while creating space for families to feel heard, empowered, and supported. Whether you’re planning your first birth or adding another little one to your family, I’m here to help you feel grounded and grow through each step. Let’s connect and explore how I can best support you.

For someone as neurotic as me, Alexa helped make my birthing process sooooo much better. Alexa listened with intention and care, validating every single one of my concerns and quirks with warmth and professionalism. She honored my birth plan with immaculate precision (down to every little detail I had mapped out) and still managed to create a nurturing, peaceful, and empowering space that helped me feel safe, supported, and seen. Alexa brought both calm and confidence into the delivery room. Her presence is so grounding and calm! Which is exactly what I needed (and she knew). I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who blends knowledge with soulful, heart-centered support, Alexa is a perfect doula for you.

She not only provided us with emotional and physical support but also with an incredible depth of knowledge and resources that empowered us throughout our birth.

I don't even know if I can truly put into words just how thankful I am for Andie and her family of doulas at Little Blue Elephant... but I'll try. Being a new mum to a beautiful little girl, living on the other side of the world with no village, support or family and a husband that travels weekly for work - it's easy to feel overwhelmed, tired, anxious and honestly, a little bit lonely at times. My husband hiring Andie to help postpartum, has been the best decision we could've possibly made. I often tell Andie that she is a real life angel. Watching her, and honestly, her whole entire family, be so calm, nurturing, attentive and kind to my daughter at every single interaction, always makes me feel so at ease that she is being cared for by the very best while I get a restful night's sleep. The way Andie has held and continues to hold me and my family during postpartum has been nothing short of amazing and I will be forever grateful for her. From advice on c section recovery, feeding, burping, pumping, reflux, gas, bathing, diaper rash, naps, schedules and more - she always goes above and beyond and has always offered a wealth of knowlege, without judgement, while confidently answering any question or concern I may have. Washing and sterilizing bottles and pump parts, folding baby girl's laundry, labeling bottles, feeding and soothing my daughter to sleep throughout the night, changing diapers, administering medicine or cream if needed and taking the time to really check in with me mentally each visit... The care is truly second to none. Andie and her family have become my villiage and I couldn't be any more grateful for each and every one of them. Andie always arrives early and is willing to do an extra shift or stay a little longer or start earlier at short notice if needed... I know that I can always count on her which can be really rare to find. She's super accommodating, incredibly reliable and has amazing communication skills - sending overnight reports via text as soon as she leaves in the morning so I know exactly how my daughter's night went and when she is due to wake, feed and be changed next. Andie truly is just an all round wonderful human to be around and her care extends well beyond just getting a restful night's sleep. I always look forward to having a chat with her when she arrives, not just about giving her updates on my daughter, but as a friend catching eachother up on how the week's been and what is going on in our lives... something that has really been invaluable for my mental health postpartum and living so far away from home and family. Andie is our regular postpartum doula each week but I have also had the pleasure of meeting and working with all the doulas from Little Blue Elephant - Jamie, Ali and Aleks... all of which have been just as wonderful, and I also feel like it needs a mention, that every single one of these ladies have been incredibly kind to our animals too. I will never forget Jamie's kindness the first night of having overnight care. She was warm and kind and sat with me for almost an hour talking about my birth and genuinely wanting to know how I was feeling mentally. She gave me comfort and reassurance when I needed it most and she made me feel so safe that I genuinely felt like I was chatting to an old friend. In between taking care of my daughter and loving on her, she also took the time to make me a personalized Amazon store front so that I could easily look at items to purchase that she felt might help me and my daughter. Since then, Andie has also added to the store front with many other great reccomendations. I appreciated this so much as being a new mum, I didn't have the time to do this myself, nor did I know what I should be looking for. Jamie still checks in every now and then to ask about how my daughter is doing and wishes me happy holidays - and every time it makes me feel so special to be thought of and cared for. She has an incredibly kind heart and what a joy it is to be around her... what a joy it is to be around them all. I cannot sing the praises of each one of these ladies enough. If we get so blessed to have another child, I've already told Andie that I want her by my side for the entire journey - from prenatal to the birth to postpartum. I value and trust Andie and her wonderful family implicitly, and would not only highly reccomend their postpartum doula service, but also every single other service they have to offer. Thank you for absolutely everything, Andie. I literally don't know what I would do without you.

Where do I begin…… If there’s one thing The Most High will do is cover HIS daughters I must say I couldn’t have asked for a better doula. I didn’t expect I was going to actually obtain a doula so last minute (8 months) within my pregnancy but also one that understood my birth plan. Ruth made it her business to support me in my boundaries set for medical care when possible changes had arised within the delivery. She is beyond helpful and knowledgeable in this field of care and made me feel comfortable and confident to bring in my first born son with her unconditional support. Never would I have imagined her to be able to be there for the 36 hrs of delivery but she was intentionally in ensuring my bonus daughter was tended to throughout those hours and I was cared for properly following within delivery and following his birth. Although the staff within hospital were very unbecoming with Ruth and the support of my family I couldn’t have asked for a better birth experience and it’s genuinely was because of her attentiveness to my care and the care of my son without any hesitation to tell staff what I needed when I needed it. I pray for every birth of my children in future in able to have her there to support me. Much love and respect for her purpose in this difficult field of care. I would recommend her 1000% over and over again. Ruth is a phenomenal woman and I’m so beyond thankful I was able share my birth experience with her ♥️

I’ve spent the last year and half passionately supporting families through one of life’s most transformative experiences: bringing a new soul into the world. My journey into doula work was inspired by my two best friends and their journey to motherhood and support and scary situations they were in during labor and delivery . I realized that every family’s birthing journey is profoundly unique and deserves individualized emotional, physical, and informational support. I offer a variety of services tailored to your needs, including prenatal consultations, continuous labor support, and postpartum care. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and a deep respect for the natural process of childbirth. I aim to provide a nurturing, safe, and empowering environment for you and your family, helping you make informed choices that align with your personal birth plan.

Not only does she support you and guide you through prenatal care, labor and delivery, she also tenderly cares for you during postpartum. When you need that nurturing and empathy the most, she is right by your side. I Highly recommend to have Menita as your doula.

Assisting others in feeling safe, supported, and empowered throughout their birth is my passion and I would love nothing more than to do so for you! I provide emotional, informational, and physical support for every birth type whether that be in a hospital, birth center, or homebirth setting. I believe it's important each person find the right fit for them, so I provide a free meet & greet interview to all potential clients. Every mom deserves a doula, and every baby deserves a peaceful and happy welcome on their birthday.

Recent review

Jayde is a true gem in the world of birth support, and her presence can truly make a difference in your birthing experience. I recently welcomed my baby girl unmedicated, in the quiet environment of my own home. I couldn’t have done this without the unwavering support of Jayde as my doula. Jayde is nothing short of phenomenal. Since the first day we met, she showed up prepared to listen, understand my needs, talk over my fears and doubts, and offered many resources to prepare for D-day and postpartum. During the birthing process, Jayde knew how to guide me to follow intuitively what my body needed, offered various options to ease and soothe the labor intensity. Her repeated affirmations and physical strength supported me in pushing through many physical and mental edges of labor. She also skillfully created a space that allowed my partner to actively participate while providing the physical cues and mental strength needed to navigate the process. Jayde is selfless; she is fully present and focused on supporting her clients. This, and more, makes her an outstanding, reliable doula to add to your team.

Kristin Bunch is a true inspiration and a helpful person. She genuinely cares about how her energy affects others, to a point while she will read the room and I appreciate that. We didn’t always match well with physical touch, as I am a more reserved person who monitors who she allows to touch her. It was different with a doula who loves hugs and being loving at all times, which in the end was all I needed to warm my heart. I swear her personality and persistence makes her a true treasure and an angel to this world. I appreciate and respect you for all you have done for me and my family! Much love, TaMarria

Stephanie is a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), which is the gold standard for lactation and infant feeding support. She is currently practicing in and around Lakeland, FL through her private practice GROW Lakeland, LLC. She first started working with families in 2017 as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and postpartum doula, and quickly realized that supporting families was her professional calling. The road to IBCLC is long and challenging, but she aced the board exam in 2022 and launched GROW in 2023. Shortly after passing her board exam, she jumped straight into advanced training programs for oral function & ties, bottle refusal, and Infant Reflexes to better support local families dealing with the most difficult feeding challenges.
