Jaci Delahanty, LMT

Jaci has been working in the field of Natural Childbirth Education since 1990. She is certified through the Bradley Method and has also trained under Pam England LM of the Birthing From Within method as well as Penny Simkin PT.

Jaci believes that pregnancy and birth are a time for women to be empowered as they embrace the experience. As a labor support proffessional, Jaci has attended over 200 births.

Being at births and massaging women in labor is what prompted Jaci to go to massage school. She attended The Body Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara. After completing the Level 1 program she knew she wanted more and continued in advance courses.

Bodywork opened up a whole new world. It is amazing all that is held within the body and through various modalities a person can be released of not only physical stress and pain but also emotional, mental and spiritual stress that have been trapped inside.

Jaci has trained not only in pregnancy and infant massage but Swedish massage, deep tissue and trigger point work, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Reiki and Reflexology. Her goal is to help people feel better within themselves and to assist them in feeling present in their own bodies.

Besides her private practice, Jaci has also worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist at The Ojai Valley Inn and Spa, The Pierpont Inn and Racquet Club, Spa De Menicucci in Santa Barbara, The YMCA of Ventura and The Ventura Healing Arts Center.

Pregnancy and birth offer women an incredible opportunity to experience a renewed sense of the strength
and power of their bodies. A woman who is comfortable trusting the birth process, her wisdom, and her spirit
is enabled to transform her life in powerful ways.

“ I feel it is an honor whenever I
am invited to a birth. It is a very sacred space to be included in.”
