Tabara Midwifery Clinic
About
Tabara Midwifery Clinic, located in Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture, is a midwifery clinic specializing in prenatal and postnatal care, founded by Kyoko Tabara, a midwife with over 20 years of experience. The clinic offers a wide range of community-based programs designed to connect mothers who tend to feel isolated after childbirth, including baby massage classes, parent-child music events, and various workshops supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of the parenting generation. English-language services are available, and the facility is fully accessible. Drawing from her own experience of relocating to Masuda City through a U-turn move and raising three children as part of a nuclear family, Ms. Tabara holds a deep conviction to "create an environment where mothers can raise their children with peace of mind," a belief that forms the foundation of all the clinic's activities. Through the "Masuda Mama Retreat Project," co-launched with a freelance announcer, the clinic also actively contributes to the community beyond its own walls — working to enrich the local childcare environment and develop model itineraries for travel with young children. The clinic's commitment to broadly supporting the physical and mental health of local mothers, beyond just prenatal and postnatal care, has drawn attention as a vital hub for parenting support in Masuda City.
