Welcome to Wren, a boutique holistic wellness practice where individualized care meets multi-modal therapy. Owner and founder, Tamara Tifft holds a Master's degree from the Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine and is California State and Nationally board-certified. While maintaining her private practice for the last twenty years, she has also dedicated several years to patients in recovery at various rehabilitation centers throughout Los Angeles and Malibu, CA.
Her practice centers on comprehensive women’s health, aesthetic acupuncture, pain management, and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing the deep connection between mind and body, she also provides specialized care for mental health, helping patients effectively navigate anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress management.
To deliver truly customized care, she seamlessly integrates advanced modalities like clinical acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and microneedling, while utilizing deep insights of nutritional therapy and targeted functional medicine testing. Beyond in-office treatments, she empowers her patients through clinical education, teaching the essential health benefits of purposeful exercise, mindful meditation, and therapeutic breathing to cultivate lasting, vibrant vitality.
Tamara’s interest in health and wellness began at five years old when she started a sixteen-year career as an Olympic hopeful gymnast. This rigorous lifestyle led to the exploration of alternative therapies in order to optimize performance. Tamara began her studies on a full athletic scholarship at the University of IL-Chicago, majoring in pre-med/dietetics. Personal study led her to the discovery of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the healing powers that it has offered humanity across millennia.
Tamara's passion is helping people live their most healthy and joyful life. She additionally enjoys spending time in nature with her German Shepard Saje and relaxing in her Joshua Tree home under the stars.
