About me
Hi, I’m Shayanna Love!
I’m a full-spectrum doula, nonprofit founder, and passionate advocate for families and youth in our community. Through my practice and my organization, Love’s Pathway, I support families holistically—whether it’s guiding expecting parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, or creating safe spaces for young, system-impacted parents to grow and thrive.
With a background in criminal justice, youth development, and lived experience supporting at-risk adolescents, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally rooted, and loving approach to everything I do.
If you’re looking for support on your parenting journey, interested in collaborating on community initiatives, or just want to connect—I’d love to hear from you!
