This is what experienced birth support looks like.
“There’s a power that comes through presence.”

In this moment, Aaron reflects on a midwife with decades of lived, embodied experience - watching, holding, waiting. Four hours without looking away. One calm request: “I just want to see one more push.”
And then Atlas was born.

It’s a reminder that birth isn’t just about intervention or technique - it’s about discernment. About someone who can feel how close you are. Someone who knows the birth you want, sometimes before you do. There is a quiet authority that comes from years of practice, deep listening, and unwavering presence.

In this conversation with author and She Births® dad , we talk about his experiences at the births of his sons - bring masculine trust and support in birth.

I began yoga at 16 & became a teacher at 22 via apprenticeship. Did a BA Comms and many other trainings. Specialised in women’s health, pregnancy & for over 25 years have run women’s retreats & circles.

I became a doula & childbirth educator 20+ years ago after birthing my son & experiencing a natural miscarriage. I studied many forms of birth education - and found them all lacking. So I created the program I wish I had.

She Births® has been studied in randomised controlled trials, results published in the British Medical Journal. Compared to standard hospital education, She Births® was shown to reduce:
• Caesarean rates by 44%
• Epidural use by 65%
• Labour augmentation by 50%
• Newborn resuscitation by 53%
• Perineal trauma by 12%

COMMENT RESULTS to read full study.

My mission is to democratise the highest-quality birth education - empowering parents & professionals not just to learn - but to connect with their inner knowing & have the conversations that really matter.

The She Births book takes ALL the guess work out of childbirth education 💗

In 2026 (Sept) I’ll be sharing an Educator Training for:
• Parents who want to facilitate short birth support (and mothers circles) within community
• Birth professionals who want to expand their offerings with short education sessions
• Practitioners who want to teach the full She Births® Masterclass and work alongside us

Education & support are key to a beautiful birth - this is the foundation to a strong beginning for families.

Your pregnancy, birth and parenting are invitations to grow and awaken. How we are born, matters to everyone.

Why the French Method Changes Everything 🇫🇷

A groundbreaking study of 10,565 births in France just proved what midwives and doulas and mums have known forever: WAITING works.

Here’s what they found: ✨ Average pushing: just 8.8 minutes ✨ First-time moms: 14 minutes ✨ Second+ babies: 6 minutes ✨ 99.2% healthy baby outcomes ✨ Only 0.5% severe tearing ✨ Low hemorrhage rates despite the wait

The French approach? It’s STANDARD practice to let women rest at full dilation for up to 3 hours (some studies say even 4 hours is safe!). Midwives wait for the natural urge to push and for baby to drop low on their own. 82% had epidurals, so this works even with pain relief.

Meanwhile in AUS, US and UK, we’re told to push IMMEDIATELY once you hit 10cm - often for 2+ HOURS of exhausting coached pushing.

Research shows the damage we blame on “long second stage” (tearing, hemorrhage, pelvic floor trauma, exhaustion) is actually from TOO MUCH ACTIVE PUSHING, not from waiting.

The French study was also 3 short, intense pushes with each contraction vs. the purple-faced 10-second breath holds. Even NICE (UK medical guidelines) now recommends delayed pushing for women with epidurals because it REDUCES forceps/vacuum rates with zero harm to babies.

The science is clear: Let your body do the work passively = way less active pushing + better outcomes for you AND baby.

Your body knows what it’s doing. Trust the process. 💪

In Navajo culture, laughter is seen as a powerful symbol of connection. The moment a baby laughs for the first time, it is believed they are choosing to join the human community. Until then, the baby is viewed as still being in transition between the spiritual and physical worlds.

This tradition, known as the A’wee Chi’deedloh ceremony, is typically observed around three months of age. Family members pay close attention during this period, eager to be the one who makes the child laugh. Whoever succeeds earns the honour of hosting the celebration, often preparing a meal of salted food and gifts to mark the occasion.

The ceremony not only celebrates the baby’s first expression of joy, but also emphasises generosity and community. Salt is symbolically offered to guests to encourage the child to grow up to be generous and kind. It’s one of the earliest social teachings given to a Navajo child, using joy as a path toward belonging and humanity. 🎉👶

It is a really tough time and I hope you are doing ok? Strangely my latest podcast seems timely and I hope it offers some light. My conversation with Dr Shefali focused more on raising girls and this time I have been discussing masculinity.

I sat down with She Births dad, Aaron Tait - educator, humanitarian, former Navy serviceman, and author of the powerful new book Far Horizons. We explore Aaron’s life and his remarkable journey from War to Peace.

Over the last few days I have been in Bondi and feeling the effects of gun violence and hatred. I have to say that both talking to Aaron and being so close to the massacre has shifted the way I relate to guns and my understanding of the Vedic term Ahimsa (non-violence).

I don't think I really understood what violence was until now. Of course, Aaron knows even more than me. At just 17, he was deployed to Iraq - one of the youngest Australian men sent after September 11.

A few years later, he purchased a one-way ticket to Africa with his partner, Kaitlin, dedicating his life to humanitarian work.

In our conversation we dive into:

✨ His two epic birth experiences and how fatherhood reshaped him
✨ Masculinity today — what’s working, what’s hurting men, and what needs to evolve
✨ The three phases of masculine growth: Knight, Prince, King
✨ How men can move through rites of passage with integrity, courage, and heart

Aaron’s book FAR HORIZONS is a game-changer. I highly recommend gifting it to the men in your life this Christmas.

By the way, Ahimsa is the idea that every action, intention, and attitude carries moral weight. The aim is to avoid causing harm, avoid supporting harm, avoid being indifferent to harm - in thoughts, words and actions. It is not the easiest concept to live by, but something we can all strive for, particularly amidst so much fear and anger.

Go buy Aaron's book, FAR HORIZONS today. Tune in, share our pod with your community, and let’s continue building a culture where our children feel safe.

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.
