Root to Rise

Welcome. My name is Tamar Oded. I am an MS, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and IBCLC candidate. I believe that new parent support should meet you where you are. I offer in-home lactation and new parent support in South Jersey. 

I am mama of three who has spent the last 20 years as a nonprofit professional while studying and teaching my passions on the side. Twists and turns and changing priorities along the road have gotten me to where I am. I am committed to teaching women in community, and believe in the strength we find together and in each other. Years in the nonprofit sector have made me an advocate for accessibility and I believe that all families deserve support through their journey. 

I believe strongly in the healing power of plants, food, movement, and our environment. I have studied folk herbalism since 2014 and have been practicing (and sometimes teaching) yoga since 1995. I have a big garden, love feeding my family homemade, healthy, and colorful foods, and spend most of my time chasing around and getting messy with my kids.
