Acknowledging Rites of Passage and Holding Space for those who are Choosing their Own Path.
Jessica Deltac - Compassionate Pregnancy Mentoring
Jessica safely assists those traversing the ever-shifting emotional landscapes that mark a woman’s most significant Rite of Passage - Labor & Birth. In addition to helping create deeper connections with the baby in utero, Jessica works with women who have experienced unexpected birth experiences or are survivors of abuse. As a mother of two, who has continuously veered away from status quo, she understands the importance of judgment-free support that all parents deserve.
"Pregnancy is a time of powerful transition and an opportunity to reclaim your own identity.
My superpower is empowering those who are willing to look at the sources of their anxiety: needs, fears,
history, dreams and find strength and power. Each aspect may warrant a different approach. Some needs dissipate with new knowledge. Some fears can be managed with a mantra. Some dreams need to be
journaled. Some histories can be resolved during pregnancy, and some can be stored away to explore
safely after the birth. I am called help make room for the bliss in your birth!"
Jessica's began practicing trauma-informed care as a rape crisis advocate in Charlotte, NC. For five years, she protected the women who were admitted to local hospitals from midnight to 6:00 am ensuring that physicians, police and staff treated them with dignity and respect. Between birthing her two daughters, she earned a Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University in Los Angeles and practiced as a psychologist intern at the oldest running public clinic in LA county. Over the years, she has attended many Midwifery and Pre-and-Perinatal learning conferences. Her birth community knowledge base was further supplemented by taking numerous in-person trainings and workshops with Penny Simkin, PT (When Survivors Give Birth); Pam England (Birthing from Within); and Gerhard Schroth, MD (Prenatal Bonding).
With a growing awareness of the needs of pregnant clients wanting to follow tenants of natural childbirth, she chose to opt out of the clinical setting to provide a more intimate and holistic experience. Oftentimes, the intuitive relationship between her and the baby in utero reveals itself during sessions. Jessica's goal in facilitating groups, one-on-one counseling or running workshops is to help clients find meaning in their obstacles, gain personal insight, alleviate symptoms and create positive methods for living life to their fullest potential. This is all to manifest the ability for each person to be a mindful and present as possible during their Pregnancy, Labor to create an optimal foundation for the first months of their newborn's lives.
