Greetings All! My name is Shannon Venus Taylor, the owner of Venus Birth Space and co-founder of Soul Family Yoga. From a young age, I always knew that supporting people would become my life's purpose. I believe that birth is a sacred space of transformation. Birth reveals the purest parts of ourselves, changing the mind, body, and spirit.
Shortly after my doula training, I felt inspired to take on the mission to create a space that provides birth support for folks during and after their birthing journey. Through my doula trainings, I resonate deeply with the authentic offerings of holistic healing practices and the overall uplifting methods for emotional and physical support found within the birth community. As an advocate for the birthing community, I provide a sacred space of healing, support, and empowerment.
My goal in this work is to hold space for birthing people in a way that encourages them to reclaim their power through physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Birth work continues to inspire me as each experience is unique, expanding my mind as I witness the most beautiful and vulnerable version of one's self.
