Our new baby girl is here! ❤️ Juliette Veronica arrived at the Mater on 8/10 at 3:30pm, 3.19kg and 49cm. She is doing very well, healthy and happy!

The rest of my pregnancy went very well. I loved the yoga & daily breathing & visualisations, we practised our affirmations, and Michael's support role! I felt ready and quite confident ☺️

After 40 weeks + 1 day, I had to have an induction (which I didn't really want) but came to accept my particular risk factors. After monitoring baby’s movements most of the day, she said that she strongly advised I have an unplanned caesarean.

All went well, and the team said she was covered in poo, which is probably why she was showing less movement. Baby passed all her tests and is thriving, which is just the best thing ever. What a trooper.

I'm going well and recovering. I feel that our prep with She Births helped enormously in our ability to cope with uncertainty, highly emotional and physical interventions, and surrender.

We worked as a team to communicate with each other and to make sure that we were in sync with our goals and values. It was pretty challenging for me to accept that I would have to forego vaginal delivery, but I knew that bub's health is number one and that "every birth can be a beautiful birth".

The staff made sure the environment was as positive as possible, encouraging me throughout, skin to skin time, and then with a monitor screen next to me showing Michael cutting the cord (after letting it pulse), and showed us the placenta.

The recovery room then allowed more relaxed skin to skin time and Bub crawled to my breast, sucked strongly, and hasn't stopped since LOL.

We are just so ecstatic, humbled, and amazed beyond words that we are finally parents and have this perfect little baby. Lots of snuggles and loving gazes are being enjoyed here.

Thank you Nadine for your caring, knowledgeable support and expertise during our pregnancy journey - we will be forever grateful for finding you.

From a very proud Mummy and Daddy, Rebecca & Michael ☺️ xoxo

🌸 PS: Our final Soul Mama Circle for 2025 begins next Wednesday in Bondi — only 2 spots left! The perfect way to become a conscious parent is to start parenting yourself. 💗

This sacred space helps you honour your journey through matrescence — to breathe, be seen, be held, and remember you’re not alone. ✨

💫 Soul Mama Circles 💫

It’s that time again — the last 'mothers’ group with meaning' for 2025.

Five weeks dedicated to honouring you, the mother. Your journey through matrescence — the becoming of a mother.

These circles are one of our deepest passions. Every woman who’s joined has said how much it changed her — how each week became an anchor in this wild, beautiful season of life.

Because early motherhood can be everything at once — heart-bursting and isolating, confusing and wonderful, utterly exhausting and yet full of love.

In this space, you’ll be heard, held, and understood.

You’ll reconnect with yourself, your baby, your partner — and other mums walking the same path.

If you know a new mama who needs this — please share it. ✨ Only a few places left — Bondi NOV

Thank you to beautiful Sophie for sharing her story ❤️🙏🏽

Preparation and support helps us to let go in labour...

There is so much about labour and birth that can’t be adequately expressed through anything but tears.

Cry because it’s too much
Cry because it’s too beautiful
Cry because you need
Cry because you accept
Cry because you feel
Cry because you want to feel
Cry because otherwise, you’ll scream
Cry and scream
Cry and laugh
Cry alone
Cry in the arms of your support
Cry to gather your support
Cry to cope
Cry to process
Cry to relax
Cry to balance
Cry to release

Cry to let out whatever it is that can’t be said or expressed any other way.

There are so many moments, including this one, where her transformation was so beautiful and evident. Seeing her come out on the other side with her gorgeous, strong daughter was unforgettable ♥️

WATERBIRTH 💧

We have evidence from studies involving thousands of women and babies that using water for labour and birth is safe and leads to good outcomes.

Using water also brings advantages for some women, including less need for other kinds of pain relief and increased maternal satisfaction.

But, as with many things in obstetrics, practice doesn’t always follow evidence.

Some organisations, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, do not recommend waterbirth.

They sometimes cite anecdotal stories and hypothetical risks, while ignoring large studies which evidence that waterbirth is safe for women and babies.

This means that researchers need to keep doing more studies in order to demonstrate that woman-centred options are safe and effective.

Numerous studies evidence waterbirth safety.

🌿 Slow down. Soften. Listen. 🌿

Labour asks us to let go of rushing. To trust the wisdom of our bodies.

When you slow down, you can tune in. Breathe. Sway. Rest. Surrender.

Birth is not a race—it’s a rite of passage. Honour your rhythm. Honour your baby’s journey.

✨ Slow is powerful. Slow is safe. Slow is sacred. ✨

Do you have any tips on creating a beautiful birth, or share how your experience was?

How perfect - for the fears that arise in birth. ❤️
May we all hear our ancestors calling us home. ❤️

"She is fire and storm, the blood of warriors and the wisdom of witches.

She does not walk alone. Her ancestors thunder in her veins, their voices a battle cry, their love a shield. When she speaks, the earth listens. When she moves, the winds shift. When she rises, the chains meant to hold her crack and fall.

She was never meant to be small, to be silent, to be anything less than the force of nature she was born to be. She carries the laughter of the wild ones, the magic of the healers, the strength of the ones who refused to kneel.

She is the daughter of the untamed, the granddaughter of the unbroken.

And when she calls upon the spirits of the women before her, a thousand grandmothers rise, their whispers turning to war songs, their love weaving armor around her bones.

She was never alone. She was never meant to bow.

She was meant to burn, to bloom, to conquer.

And she will.

Because their wisdom will carry her."

When I was pregnant with my son five and a half years ago, my dear friend Nadine from shared something with me that has stayed ever since. 😍

She said, “You get 16 summers with them.”😘

At the time, I hadn’t even met this baby yet, and already I could feel how fast those 16 summers would go.

Sixteen Christmas mornings.
Sixteen birthdays.
Sixteen years of that wild, everyday closeness that is so easy to take for granted.

It really helped me to hold perspective, especially in those early postpartum days when the nights felt endless and the days blurred together. 👶

And it still reminds me now, in the ordinary, messy moments, to be present.

Not perfectly.
Not all the time.
Just here, as much as I can be, authentically as possible.

Because one day they won’t be little, and the closeness will have evolved into something new. 🧑‍🦰

Hi, I’m Nadine

I’m a mother, childbirth educator, doula and have been a prenatal yoga teacher for over 20 years. I am the director of The Birthing Institute and creator of the She Births® program.

She Births® is a holistic, evidence-based birth course for pregnant couples that I developed within my local community of Bondi Beach, Sydney. Since its humble beginnings, She Births® has now grown into an internationally recognised, and scientifically verified, birth course that has been completed by thousands of expecting parents around the world.

When my son was born I have to say, like many women do, the experience of labour shocked me! Even after 12 weeks of birth education I felt like my partner and I were not prepared to navigate the intensity and complexity of birth, or, for the challenges that came along afterwards.

After many years of attending births, and influenced by my medically trained family, I became inspired to develop a comprehensive birth course that makes a real difference.
