Node Mothers offers a nurturing 10-week program designed to connect mothers during their first few years. Each term includes a welcome pack, access to guest speakers, and a professional motherhood photoshoot. Facilitated by experienced parents, the group fosters community, support, and shared experiences in a warm, welcoming environment. Whether you're a first-time mum or adding to your family, Node is here to help you feel seen, supported, and connected.

Node Drop In Sessions are relaxed, welcoming catch ups for any mum, at any stage of motherhood. Come along for a coffee, a chat, and connection with other mums who get it. No pressure, no commitment, just a supportive space to feel seen and supported.
Babies and children aged 0–4 years are always welcome, so you can come exactly as you are. Whether you’re looking for conversation, community, or simply a reason to get out of the house, our drop ins are here for you.
Pop in, connect, and leave feeling a little more supported!

As both the founder of Node Mothers and a professional photographer, Melissa captures the raw, beautiful moments of motherhood throughout each mothers group term. Members can enjoy access to regular, affordable photo sessions. For more personalised sessions, you can also book directly through our sister business, Her Golden Point, where Melissa offers heartfelt photography for families, mums, and little ones alike.

We have a private car park with around 10 spaces, free to use and just a short walk from the entrance. There are no stairs, our entrance doors are automatic, and the step-free access makes it super easy to bring in prams. The Node centre door is always locked, ring the doorbell for access.

We’ve got a small retail nook with thoughtful goodies just for mums, including Hydramama, our signature Node Caps and a cosy library of motherhood books you’re welcome to borrow. Looking for a gift? We can organise vouchers for Node memberships, postpartum home support, or photography sessions, perfect for treating yourself or another mum in your life.
My experience within the last 10 months at Node has been nothing short of incredible. It has been completely transformative for my postpartum journey. Worth every cent!

What our Mums have
to say!
Every time I walk into Node I feel like I can finally breathe, it’s such
a safe space and an amazing community. Something mums truly need. After having my second baby I felt so alone but then I joined node and felt the most supported I had in months!
