About Me

My name is Emma, and I am a Mum to three beautiful kids (now aged 4, 7 and 13) living in the bayside suburbs of Melbourne.

I know firsthand that motherhood can be both wonderful and incredibly demanding. After experiencing the realities of pregnancy, newborn life, sleepless nights, endless washing and the mental load that comes with caring for a family, I came to understand something important: mothers need support too.

Not more pressure.

Not more expectations.

Not more advice.

Just practical, caring support that helps lighten the load. That’s why I created Held & Home.

Held & Home was born from the belief that every mother deserves to feel cared for, supported and held during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. My role is simple, and that is to provide an extra pair of hands when you need it most. Help and support shouldn’t be a luxury, it should be a necessity.

Whether that’s preparing a nourishing meal, folding a mountain of laundry, helping with your baby while you take a shower, entertaining a toddler or simply offering a calm and supportive presence, I am here to help create a little more breathing room in your day.

As a Mum myself, I understand that every family is different, and that is why each visit whether a once off or visit package, is tailored to your needs, priorities and season of motherhood.

My goal isn’t to tell you how to parent. My goal is to help you feel supported while you do it.

I look forward to helping you create a home where you feel a little more rested, a little more cared for, and a little more held.

With warmth,

Emma - Founder, Held & Home
