Mothering Magazine Sponsored Chat with Shantell Herndon - Since relocating to Los Angeles in
2004, Shantell was hired in conjunction with various youth outreach
organizations to work with pregnant teens and underprivileged
minorities. This led her to discover her passion for educating
families. As a doula, she began assisting births throughout Los
Angeles. To better serve her community, Shantell created
Love the Belly, an
organization centered within its own Maternity Spa & Family Wellness
Center. Love the Belly is dedicated to restoring the sacredness of
health for families, and aims to raise consciousness about wellness
care options during the childbearing years. Their programs are based
on the concept that peaceful parenting begins with conscious
pregnancy and birth.
