Shayanna Love

Accepts insurance

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!

I had my son unassisted at home in my tub with my partner and Tyler as my virtual doula support. She was so sweet and helped me ride my waves of sensations until I brought my sweet boy home. I was reminded of my affirmations and goals throughout and after it all, she helped me latch baby and we have been exclusively breastfeeding now for 14 months! Tyler provided me with support and answered my questions in postpartum, I couldn’t have survived baby blues without her.
