Meet the Founders


Friending Spaces was founded by three women with backgrounds in psychology, executive search, partnerships, marketing, and strategy.

We work directly with singles through applications, conversations, gatherings, and personalized introductions. Together, we shape the network, design the experience, and remain closely involved in how members participate and meet.

Shanthi is a psychotherapist with three decades of experience understanding people and creating thoughtful group environments. She helps shape gatherings that feel comfortable, engaging, and conducive to genuine conversation. LinkedIn
