At Held In Motherhood, we’re passionate about spotlighting the incredible people who walk alongside mothers through every stage of their journey, from the first flutter of pregnancy to the beautiful chaos of postpartum life and beyond.
In this blog, we’re welcoming three wonderful new additions to the directory who each bring something truly special to our South West Victorian community: honest storytelling through photography, safe and supportive mum circles, and birth education that empowers you to trust your body and your baby.
Here are the newest additions to the Held In Motherhood directory:
- Haven Photography
- Mama Pod
- Sarah Searle Hypnobirthing Australia
Haven Photography – Honouring Your Story, Wherever You Are
From the quiet strength of pregnancy to the tender chaos of newborn days, Haven Photography captures the beauty, truth, and connection of motherhood in all its forms.
Based in South West Victoria, Ellie’s sessions are warm, documentary-style, and deeply personal designed to help families feel relaxed, safe, and seen. Whether you’re barefoot on the beach, tucked into the bush, or still in hospital just hours after birth, Ellie honours each moment with gentle care and authenticity.
Her services include maternity, birth, newborn, and family photography, all with flexible packages, transparent pricing, and a deep respect for your story. These aren’t just photos, they’re keepsakes that honour your strength and love.

Mama Pod -Finding Your Circle
Motherhood was never meant to be done alone, and Mama Pod is proof of that.
Created by a mum who knows firsthand how heavy and isolating motherhood can feel, Mama Pod brings women together in small, supportive circles of 4–6. It’s a space to be real, to share meals and messy moments, to laugh, cry, and breathe together, a reminder that none of us has to do this alone.
If you’ve been craving genuine connection, this might be your space to exhale.
