Supporting Your Journey Through Parenthood

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.

Shalom, I’m Lea—a doula, childbirth educator, prenatal bodyworker, and B.O.T.-certified practitioner based in Jerusalem. I accompany expecting parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with evidence-based guidance and calm, compassionate support in Hebrew, English, and German. I help expecting parents navigate the Israeli maternity system with confidence. Drawing from my academic background, I believe in the power of knowledge and founded "Knowledge-Based Birth", because knowledge is power. I believe, that women who grow, birth, and nurture babies deserve nourishing, compassionate, and professional support along the way, to feel safe, seen, and understood. That’s why I integrate Hypnobirthing, evidence-based information, trauma-informed preparation, active birth tools, prenatal bodywork, and the postpartum ritual "Closing of the Bones"—a traditional practice supporting healing and integration after birth—into my work. You deserve to be fully seen, supported, and informed.

I am a marriage and family therapist, sex and trauma therapist with 20+ years experience.
