Supporting Your Journey Through Parenthood

I am a doula in training who believes that a mother is the true expert of her pregnancy and birth. My role is to offer evidence-based information and a steady presence as you do the powerful work of bringing your baby into the world. I am also informed in the biomechanics of the birth process to support optimal positioning. I am offering very affordable support while I get more experience as a doula.

Tamar Zakon, Dipl.CM (IACM), CMT – Doula, Acupuncturist & Integrative Women’s Health Practitioner I am a licensed practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, certified massage therapist, clinical herbalist, and doula with nearly two decades of experience in holistic health. My specialty lies in women’s health, fertility, and emotional healing, and I provide full-spectrum support throughout the reproductive journey—from preconception to postpartum and beyond. My integrative approach combines acupuncture, Chinese and Western herbal medicine, medical massage, Sobada abdominal and womb therapy, and more. I work holistically to support hormonal balance, digestive health, pain relief, trauma recovery, and overall vitality. Each treatment plan is customized, addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic needs of the individual. I have extensive experience supporting women who are navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy after loss, birth trauma, and complex emotional or medical histories. I offer a safe, grounded, and compassionate space for healing—bridging complementary therapies with a strong understanding of conventional medicine to help clients feel empowered and informed throughout medical testing, procedures, and treatments. As the founder and clinical director of the Balance Center – Acupuncture & Integrative Wellness in Jerusalem, I’ve created a warm, collaborative space where women and families receive comprehensive, personalized care from a team of integrative practitioners. My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all—and that every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and guided on their path to wellness.

I have been a qualified midwife for over 25 years, with my initial training in the UK. After Aliya, I retained and obtained my Israeli lisence. I worked in hospital in the UK and Jerusalem, before leaving the hospital system for homebirths in 2019. I have since been involved in homebirth and to date (2025) have been promary caregiver for over 220 homebirths. I regulalry engage in courses and professional trainings to keep my knowledge fresh and up to date. I believe in the mother's ability to give birth without interventions, doctors and machinery if she and her baby are healthy and low-risk. Women looking for supportive midwifery care in low risk pregnancies, will find a very calm, kind and professional midwife, happy to assist them through this special life event! I have additional training in many areas including birth processing for trauma, spinning babies, hypnobrthing, natural birth and water birth.
