Supporting Your Journey
Through Parenthood

I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant for the past 8 years and a mother-baby nurse for over 12 years. I have experience working in both the United States and Israel. I spent many years working in the hospital setting both as a registered nurse and later as a lactation consultant helping moms on postpartum units. For the past few years, I have been working with mothers and their babies through my private practice. When I'm not helping moms and babies, I am home with my husband, Doni and 4 beautiful kids; Amitsur, Yael, Amalya, and Netanel. I had vastly different breastfeeding experiences with all of them (currently nursing Netanel now :-)) and I bring that experience with me to each of my consults as well. <3

I am a birthing doula and birth educator with over a year of hands-on experience supporting women through labor, birth, and postpartum. My approach is rooted in compassionate, evidence-based care, focused on helping women feel empowered and informed throughout their birthing experience. In addition, my own fertility journey deeply shaped my path and inspired me to become a fertility coach, offering guidance and emotional support to women navigating the often complex and isolating road to conception. I bring a blend of professional training and personal understanding to every client relationship, creating a space of trust, empathy, and holistic support from fertility through birth.

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.
