Getting to know Calmbirth Educator Gemma Pearce

Educators

Gemma Pearce works as a Privately Practicing Midwife in her own business Village Midwifery. She says, "What I love most about being a Calmbirth Educator is to see Fear replaced with faith and admiration in the miracle, simplicity and nature of labour and birth."Seeing a baby being born makes me feel absolutely in awe of the nature of labour and birth and the strength and power of our bodies as women, I am always left feeling honoured and privileged to witness these incredible life events and the love and birth of families."  She says, "It is my firm belief that every woman is born instinctively knowing how to give birth but societal norms have caused us to lose sight of this amazing, innate ability. As a result, we don't fully trust our bodies to see the process through and women become weighed down by fear and anxiety."I see my role as a "re-educator", rather than an 'educator', and Calmbirth as the master-key to unlocking your own strength and ability to birth your baby in the best way for you. Every single birth is incredible and unique and having had 3 children myself, I can attest to the fact that no two births are the same.
