At Node Motherhood Centre, we believe that motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone.
We’re a heart-led space in Ballarat where mums, whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, can come to feel supported, seen, and deeply connected. Our centre was born from the real, raw experience of early motherhood and the deep knowing that mothers need more than just check-ups and to-do lists. We need community. We need nourishment. We need to be held.
Through our signature mothers’ groups, gentle postpartum support, guest workshops, one-off classes, community events, and occasional wellness retreats, we walk alongside you during those tender first 12 months and beyond.
Our facilitators (who are mums and dads too) create a safe space to share stories, ask the big questions, cry if you need to, and most importantly, laugh and exhale.
Node is for the mums who want more than just advice. It’s for the mums who want to feel a little less alone, a little more themselves, and a whole lot more supported.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just bring your baby, your questions, your tired eyes, and your beautiful, messy self. We’ll meet you there.

“Node has made me feel like I belong again and that I have found a community, I couldn’t be more grateful.”
