Hello, my name is Rickeya, and I am a dedicated maternal and newborn care professional with a passion for supporting families during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. My goal is to provide exceptional clinical care, emotional support, and guidance as parents navigate the beautiful and sometimes overwhelming journey of parenthood. I am a Labor and Delivery Surgical Technologist with over two years of hands-on experience in labor and delivery, where I have served as a patient advocate and assisted in both vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections. My background also includes six years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, working across multiple hospital specialties, which has strengthened my clinical skills, adaptability, and compassionate approach to patient care. As a mother of two, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. I take great pride in supporting new parents, ensuring their babies are safe, comforted, and well cared for. My newborn care experience includes feeding support, sleep relief, overnight care, and night nanny services. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am deeply committed to providing calm, reliable, and knowledgeable care that allows families to feel confident, supported, and at ease during this special time.

Absolutely — here’s a strong, heartfelt 5-star style review that sounds genuine and standout: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rickeya was truly a blessing to our family during the newborn stage. From the very first night, her calm presence, professionalism, and deep knowledge of newborn care immediately put us at ease. She not only cared for our baby with incredible attentiveness and gentleness, but she also supported us as new parents with reassurance, education, and emotional encouragement when we needed it most. Her background in labor and delivery really shows — she is confident, organized, and always prioritizes safety. Our baby’s feeding, sleep, and overall comfort improved so much under her care, and being able to rest at night knowing our little one was in such capable hands was priceless. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and created a peaceful nighttime routine that helped our whole household. Beyond her skills, Rickeya is simply a kind and compassionate person who truly loves what she does. Any family would be lucky to have her support during such an important time. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Recent review

Laurine was absolutely fantastic. She is extremely responsible, prompt, and very hard-working. In the short time that she helped us with our son, she helped us with her knowledge of sleep training and could not have been more loving and warm towards our newborn. She was extremely helpful in the downtime when the baby was sleeping with things that I needed help with which made my life so much easier. I would highly recommend her!

Hi, I’m Alexa Thode—founder of Ground & Grow Birth Co. and a certified prenatal and labor doula, postpartum and infant care doula, and childbirth educator, serving families across Tampa Bay, Florida. I believe birth is sacred, and no one should have to walk through it alone. With a calm presence, evidence-based knowledge, and intuitive care, I support families through the emotional, physical, and spiritual waves of labor and postpartum. 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.
