Wren Acupunture

OK, so I admit it, I was skeptical of acupuncture, but I was also desperate. With less than three weeks to go until the Los Angeles Marathon, I was in horrible pain. Over-​training had put my back into spasms and I could not lean forward to tie my shoes. Any torso twisting movement like trying to sit down in the car was a slow and deliberate process.
Tamara did a thorough evaluation and recommended lifestyle changes. Add Magnesium to my diet and drink more water to help the elasticity of my muscles and stretch a little more.
Then we started the treatment. I was wary of the needles and the pain they might cause. But I had little to lose figuring that there was nothing worse than the pain I was living with. I soon found that my fears were unfounded. I barely felt more than little tap. She skillfully targeted her spots and when I got up after the first session, I could already start to feel a reduction in the exhaustive pain.
After the second session, I would estimate my relief at 80%. I could once again do an easy run without any spasms. A couple says later I had my third session and when I woke up the next morning, I was pain free!
10 days later I ran one of my better marathons thanks to Tamara’s care.

Tamara is absolutely incredible! She was recommended by a friend due to my constant struggle with stomach issues. I had taken every prescription drug and over-​the-​counter pill but nothing worked. PCPs told me it was my age (33), heart burn, stress etc… none of which were the source of the pain. Because of her holistic approach she discovered a food allergy and started a customized treatment plan to heal my gut. Its the first time in 5+ years that I’ve made it weeks without stomach pain. Tamara’s knowledge combined with her thorough approach makes her one of the best acupuncturists/​healers on the Westside. She also helped with stress and adult night terrors. I highly recommend both her and a cupping session! It’s better than a massage!

Tamara is an amazing acupuncturist! She is a true healer. She is intuitive, creative, and very knowledgeable and is able find the right treatment to help you overcome chronic pain, injuries, hormonal imbalances and digestive disorders. She is also a good listener.

I am so grateful that I found Tamara. It’s clear that she loves what she does and it shows in the level of care she gives her patients. I’m a borderliner with PTSD. I suffer from extreme stress. It’s off the charts. She actually spent time on her own looking up the latest data on Borderline Personality Disorder and the potential treatment modalities at her disposal so that she could be better prepared for my next visit! Who, besides a maybe a mental health care worker, does that?! It’s clear she’s not there just for a paycheck., she’s there to help you feel better with all the tools she has in her repertoire. I just updated my google calendar for indefinite, twice a week visits with Tamara for acupuncture therapy. I’m finding it most helpful and we’ve only just begun!

Tamara’s skill isn’t only in her technical ability as an acupuncturist– she’s a kind soul whose energy is warm and generous.

Tamara Tifft has helped me in so many ways. Whether I’m stressed, having digestive issues or joint pain, she is well-​informed on how to treat various ailments using acupuncture, cupping and other remedies influenced by eastern medicine.
She has encouraged me to change my diet and target the specific foods that my body has trouble digesting.
She is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. Tamara creates individualized plans for each of her patient’s needs and goes or of her way to make sure all of her patients are receiving the best care.
Highly recommended!!!
