Tamara is excellent, skilled, informed and an absolutely pleasure. I've been a patient for years and she has been with me through some of the hardest, most intimate moments of my life. On the days when I was not sure about any of it, she held the positive energy -- and 2 healthy babies later, I can confirm that her positive energy mattered more than I can put into words. Her office is exactly what you need it to be: calm, private, no waiting, no chaos. Just a space where you can actually breathe. And as a newbie to acupuncture, Tamara made me comfortable and relaxed immediately. If you need an acupuncturist, go see Tamara. You won't regret it. read more

Tamara was so wonderful and so grateful to have been connected to her for our second pregnancy. She was with my wife every step of the way for IVF. Shes so skilled and experienced in what she does and helped tremendously to reduce stress and help us ensure success with only one embryo. So thankful! read more

Tamara is a gift. I went in due to tendinitis and tendonosis in my right shoulder. Not only is my arm feeling way better after two sessions, but I'm also benefitting in other ways, too -- more restful sleep, and improved mental health. Doesn't hurt that it's a charming office in the heart of Beverly Hills. Fair prices and easy scheduling as well. read more

Tamara is kind, thoughtful, positive, and even keeled. I saw her on and off for several months as I prepared to do an embryo transfer. My case was complicated because I suffered from recurrent uterine polyps that just wouldn't go away and led to multiple canceled transfers. Tamara helped me stay level headed and provided prompt and relaxing acupuncture treatments. She's super responsive and helped get me in to see her even on short notice. She performed acupuncture treatments on me before and after the transfer and it was such a treat to be able to be in a state of zen during a time of high anxiety hoping that it all would all go well. I'm extremely blessed that the transfer worked and that I have a healthy baby boy. Going through fertility treatments is extremely challenging, but Tamara helped to make it all a little bit easier. Thank you Tamara! read more

Tamara is an earth angel and one of the best at her craft! She was by my side and helped me through difficult time. I trust her implicitly and look forward to each session! read more

I truly can't recommend Tamara enough! She's an incredibly skilled practitioner with irrestistble earth mama energy that put me at ease immediately. I started seeing her while I was going through IVF treatments - a very emotional time - and found myself crying on her table more than once. She was always very gracious and comforting when these kind of feelings arose. To be clear, the needles never made me cry, I could barely feel them. Dealing with infertility is just a very painful and exhausting experience. My appointments with Tamara were like a short vacation from everything weighing heavily on my mind. Very meditative and relaxing. She gets results too. I'm now 24 weeks pregnant. Obviously, more goes into making a baby than acupuncture alone, but I believe Tamara played a part in my success. She takes a holisitic approach and can offer plenty of guidance on diet and lifestyle as well, although never preachy. She knows we're all just doing our best. If you're looking for someone on the top of their game with kindness to spare, Tamara is the acupuncturist for you! read more

This place is amazing! I have been experiencing soreness and pain that resulted from sitting all day behind a desk and weight lifting. Many people suggested acupuncture to me! So I gave it a try here at Tamara!!! They were extremely knowledgeable in this area and helped me bring flexibility in the normal range within 8 weeks! I'm so happy with my experience here and I have to say the staff was amazing and super friendly! Looking forward to my future visits with this great team. read more

Tamara is a national treasure! She is truly gifted at fertility acupuncture. She is intuitive and makes micro adjustments based on my current physical and mental state, to help get my body balanced. She is supportive and always listens to my concerns and anxiety around the whole process. She is also just an absolute peach of a person so I always look forward to my sessions. Sincerely recommended! read more

I found Tamara to help me with my IVF journey. We worked together before during and after my egg retrieval, but I never got to do the transfer because I got pregnant naturally! After five years of trying to start our family, and zero positive pregnancy test after my first miscarriage, it finally happened. Tamara is kind, attentive, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm so grateful to her! read more

Tamara ZumMallen Acupuncture - After 5 years of infertility, Tamara helped me get pregnant naturally! - Acupuncture Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

It is currently 3am and I am holding my 5 day old baby on my chest post feeding. As I sit here I am reflecting on the journey to get to this point and I couldn't have made it without Tamara. I started trying for a baby at 39 and while I could get pregnant, I would miscarry due to chromosomal abnormality (really my eggs weren't great). At 41 I started my first two rounds of IVF. Both were unsuccessful in producing a viable embryo and for some reason my left ovary would not respond to the meds. So I took a break and made some changes. My doctor recommend Tamara after I researched the benefits of acupuncture on egg quality. While the next round of IVF was not successful, I do wish I had waited longer to do round 3. Changes take time. The supplements I added and the acupuncture needed time to make a difference. So after round 3 I took that time. I continued with Tamara 2x/week. Months later I was not only ready for my last attempt at my own eggs, I felt better. I was fully off anxiety medication (which I had been on since I was 18) and my hormones felt more under control. Round 4, at 42 years old, I produced a viable embryo and it came from the left side that previously didn't work. Two months later Tamara came with me to do acupuncture before and after my transfer. It was successful. I continued through with acupuncture 1-2x/week for my first trimester for nausea and it helped so much. Tamara recommended not to come in during my second trimester because I would feel good and to return once the 3rd trimester aches and pains kicked in. Which they did and she helped tremendously.. Long story short, I truly believe I would not be snuggling my miracle baby without the help of Tamara. She is an expert at what she does, she's warm and friendly and every visit is a 10/10 experience. Beds are comfy and warm, music is relaxing and if you are in your first trimester she even has anti nausea snacks. I plan to continue to see Tamara for my general health once I'm out of my 4th trimester. Make sure to give it time, it took a few weeks to feel the effects and months to see the benefits in my fertility. But it works! Tamara we just love you!! read more

Tamara ZumMallen Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

It's hard to put into words just how amazing Tamara is, but I'm going to try... I have been seeing Tamara for Acupuncture over the past 2 plus years while TTC and then during IVF. The fertility journey can be so intense and each step is met with questions and decisions about the next... Tamara is a wealth of knowledge and put my mind as ease with my million questions and concerns. She was always positive and uplifting, even when I felt like I had no positivity left, she was always there to cheer us on. I would walk in her door a ball of nerves and anxiety and was always met with a huge smile, and would leave feeling so relaxed and like I'd had the weight of the (fertility) world lifted from my shoulders after an acupuncture session with Tamara. I sit here writing this after a 3 year journey, now 6 months pregnant and truly believe Tamara played a huge part in bringing our girl to us! Could not recommend Tamara anymore, she is the best of the best! read more

I love and get excited about going to see Tamara for my appointment. She is warm and has amazing bedside manner. She has a lot of experience and knows her stuff. She is definitely a must have as part of your fertility journey. read more

Like many other reviewers mentioned, my UCLA doctor suggested acupuncture and Tamara, specifically, as part of my treatment plan. Upon first meeting Tamara, I was impressed by her incredibly warm, sincere demeanor. Her lovely office is clean and inviting; a relaxing respite from the hectic city below. I have no doubt my sessions w/ Tamara helped me, both mentally and physically. I look forward to each session as it helps ground me, relieving me of the stress and anxiety of day to day living. Her positive attitude and kind disposition give me perspective; a realization of what truly matters and our strategy towards our goal. In addition to the acupuncture, I appreciated Tamara's nutritional guidelines. It gave me a sense of control and confidence in an otherwise challenging time. I'm forever grateful for her support and am looking forward to working w/ her again soon! read more

I credit Tamara for helping me get pregnant after trying for years, including a devastating miscarriage. She has created a sanctuary and a safe space where you can bring all your emotions and truly heal your body. After 3 months of seeing her 2x/week and following her nutritional recommendations, I got pregnant naturally (the month before I was scheduled for IVF!). I saw her throughout my entire pregnancy and even after. Highly recommend Tamara, especially if you are on a tough fertility journey. read more

Tamara's office is clean and she is extremely knowledgable and professional. I feel amazing everytime I get a session with her. Thank you Tamara! read more

Tamara ZumMallen is simply the best at what she does. I have had her treat me for several things, including: "pre-hab" for my ACL surgery, to get my knee ready for not only the surgery, but all the PT work to follow for 9 months after the surgery. Tamara also treated my knee about three months after ACL surgery to compliment the physical therapy. I have also had Tamara work on my back when I had a herniated disc, which made my ACL injury seem like a walk in the park. She was so compassionate and a wealth of information on back injuries. It was comforting. I simply cannot recommend her enough. She listens, she is kind, she is funny and her office is like a warm bath. You just feel great when you leave. I highly recommend. read more

I was referred to Tamara by my fertility health team at UCLA. Her office is so inviting, warm, and calming (and smells great!). She helped through my IVF cycle, through the egg retrieval process and FET. We were lucky and ended up with 7 healthy embryos! Adding that because I truly believe the acupuncture played a big part in how my body responded. It was so helpful to have Tamara there at the FET for the acupuncture and as an added voice of experience in the process on top of my clinical team. The FET was at a clinic separate from my regular clinic, so it was even nicer to have her familiar face (above the mask :) and calming energy that day when my body was so stressed and my partner couldn't be there due to covid restrictions. Long story short, the FET was successful and we now have a perfect beautiful healthy baby boy! I didn't miss the IVF process but I did genuinely miss my acupuncture appointments. IVF and anything fertility is stressful, I absolutely cherished the acupuncture experience and my regular appointments with Tamara. On top of her expertise at her craft, she is so supportive and felt like a friend. I will absolutely go back to Tamara if/when we do another FET and/or have other needs for acupuncture. She's the best! read more

Tamara is an angel on earth. I'm so grateful that my fertility doctor recommended her to me. She listens to you, she always takes the time, you never feel rush, you always feel like your her only client that matter. In the stressful fertility process your time in her office is so precious, you can finally relax, think about yourself, let go of to do lists and focus on what is good for you. I 100% recommend her, especially if you're going trough IUI or IVF. read more

I was so fortunate to be referred to Tamara by a friend. She made me feel calm and relaxed every time I came in. For 30 min I felt cozy and often took a nap, while the red light and needles were doing their job. She helped me get blood circulating throughout my body. read more

Grew up in Asian Culture I was absolutely shocking that this is the first time an acupuncture only had few needles on my belly. I am not a doctor but grew up in a doctor family I've learnt acupuncture is very much stimulate the central nervous system. But nervous system is not just at the belly but all over our body. I did lots of study before. One acupuncture stimulation circulation will take 27-35 mins to go over our body. Make our reproductive system works better is not just about treating the belly. There are also nervous spots on our forehead, neck, breasts, legs, arms. It requires team works to make your hormones system better. I visited many professional acupunctures before. To spend $350 for an appointment, I definitely expect much more professional treatment and better service. Not just a comfort nap environment. read more

NO PROFESSIONAL COURTESY I contacted Tamara ZumMallen because she had high ratings on yelp and is located a walking distance from where I work. After the initial talk, I called her back and made an appointment for the following Friday. This was already time consuming because she does not have an assistant and never answers he phone. Then on Wednesday, two days before my appointment time, she called me and left a message that she has to cancel my appointment because she has to go to a transfer and for me to come back the week after on Friday. I called her and left her message saying that I would like to see her sooner. She never called back. So the day after, I called her and asked her if she could see me a little earlier like that Thursday. I asked her if she could call me to try to work something out. I also said in the message that I am doing a transfer on November and I really would like to start. As of Monday evening, 6th days after she left her message to cancel my appointment, she has not called yet. The process of fertility is already very difficult without people who are so inconsiderate to even make a phone call timely. Even if she did not want me as a client, she could have a courtesy to just call and let me know instead of waisting my time. read more

After reading Tamara's reviews I thought it was probably too good to be true, but worth a try. Still my story is the same as all the others. After nearly two years of fertility issues, I became pregnant after 6 weeks of acupuncture with Tamara. I continued acupuncture through my first trimester. I particularly appreciate her wholistic approach to health and fertility. She had so many great recommendations outside of the acupuncture. I changed my diet in a few big ways and saw her once a week. Tamara is amazing at what she does and a joy to be around. Thank you Tamara!! read more

We only found out about two days before our embryo transfer that acupuncture is recommended. The fertility clinic recommended Tamara and I am overjoyed that they did. As soon as I met Tamara, she hugged me and had such a calm energy. I instantly felt more at ease. Tamara asked for some medical history and then explained the process to me from A to Z so I knew what to expect. Through the whole process, Tamara kept checking on me and talking to me. She was so positive and reassuring. My wife could not be there so Tamara was my 'stand-in' and took a video for me while the doctor implanted the embryo! I'm feeling so positive thanks to Tamara. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a fertility process. read more

I was fortunate to find Tamara at the start of our IVF process. I'd read all the potential benefits of adding acupuncture to our treatment plan but finding a special practitioner who knows exactly what you are going through and takes into account your individual medical history, and fertility issues or roadblocks makes a huge difference. She was always on top of where you were in a given cycle and adapted treatment to match your specific phase in the processes. Her treatment rooms are cozy and relaxing and since I often scheduled around our fertility clinic appointments it was always a way to relieve some of the stress and pressure of those appointments too. We had the unique experience of working with her through COVID and she made sure that even our pandemic adapted plan gave us the best potential results. She's amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend her more. read more

Tamara is the BEST!! She has the most comfy acupuncture bed in town, is very thorough, smart and witty so makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Would never go to anyone else! read more

This woman is a blessing! I didn't have my period for 10 months (but who's counting?!?) I went to several places (I kid you not...at least 6). I stuck with those places for a long time - so, it's not like I didn't give them a good try. I allowed for at least 12 visits per place and zero results! I saw Tamara....TWICE and started my period!!!! She is so upfront and you can see she truly loves what she does! The way she needles is like no other because you don't even feel it! She is something spectacular! Also, her supplements are great! read more

Tamara is wonderful! Not only is she a lovely warm person, but she is extremely knowledgeable and an amazing acupuncturist. After two sessions with her, I was pregnant (as she predicted would happen). I have continued to see her throughout my pregnancy, and I definitely feel so much better as a result. Her office is so beautiful and relaxing- it feels like you are at a nice spa with the beautiful rooms, heated beds, comfortable blankets, and spa music. I would HIGHLY recommend seeing her. read more

I was recommended to Tarmara by my Fertility Specialist while going through IVF treatments which unfortunately was a difficult but now I have an amazing baby. The moment I was introduced to her I felt calm and at home. Her professionalism is overmasked by her kindness and her genuine care for her patients. For anyone thinking of acupuncture, especially for fertility, she is the best qualified for acupuncture and a friend to help guide you through your journey. read more

I am very pleased to share my experience working with Tamara! I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant, thanks to Tamara! I have been working with her on and off about 12 month before I conceived naturally. Prior to that, I had two miscarriages and my new ob recommded that I should look into acupuncture. I started going to Tamara and saw her about once a week. It was a bit of drive for me to get to her office but it was so worth it and here is why : 1. Her needling technique is excellent, you virtually don't feel ANYTHING. Just a little tap here and there and she has everything where they needed to be. 2. Her positive attitude and optimism: always reassured me that I will conceive and never gave up on me. She is my best cheerleader! 3. I have gotten a lot of useful and practical advice from her in terms of taking care of my body. i appreciate her tips on a yang-yin balanced diet, how to detox and what suppplements are best for my body. 4. She always follow up! She's never failed in terms of calling me or email me back during the course of my treatment. Even when I have conceived, she still emails me to check on me every now and then. 5. She is constantly learning new things and improving her skills. As a healthcare prof myself, I know how important it is to stay on top of new development within ones profession, I appreciate Tamara's dedication to her profession and her patients. Thank you Tamara, I still can't believe that I'm expecting my first child and I owe it all to you!!! read more

Tamara is truly heaven sent. As a first timer in this fertility journey, I am so grateful for her treatments, wealth of information, and guidance. Such a blessing to have met her! read more

Tamara's exceptional practice helped us get pregnant, stay pregnant, and navigate through our gestational phases smoothly and with relative ease. We delivered a happy, healthy baby girl in May right on schedule and feel extremely fortunate to have had Tamara on our team as a friend, practitioner, and beacon of light and positivity. read more

If I'm holding my little miracle baby today, I owe it to Tamara and my fertility doctor! Tamara is not an acupuncturist that will try to sell you herbs and add-ons to your treatment, she's a scientist that studied the science in acupuncture for years, wrote her dissertation on the effects of acupuncture on IVF - which I read and found very informative - and has her doctorate in acupuncture and oriental medicine-- a rare find in acupuncturists. This is clearly the reason why my amazing fertility doctor recommended Tamara! That's just the part about her being right on paper though. The next reason I recommend Tamara is the results. I KNOW Tamara's acupuncture worked because I would go into her room tensed up, jazzed up, million questions about my last doctor appointment, zillion questions about my next appointment, and I would leave her office essentially sleep walking-- and that is coming from a gal who stays up all night unable to sleep. Lastly, I want to point out what a great "team member" she is on this crazy, windy, stressful road to a baby, called the fertility journey. Tamara is knowledgable due to her experience in the fertility matters, and was even in touch with my fertility doctor about me, when I needed it. Apparently, it takes a village to get some of us pregnant, and I'm grateful that Tamara was in my village. read more

Tamara helped get us pregnant. She did acupuncture leading up to (and during!!) our IVF procedure and honestly, even if I wasn't sure that it would help, the confidence and the headspace it got me into during that time is something I really believe helped us have our baby. Tamara herself is a gift. She's a delight and I always was thrilled to see her. IVF is a hard journey and I would recommended anything that will make you feel confident and supported. That's what Tamara did for me. read more

It's been a long due review for Tamara. I first saw Tamara so that my period is regular. But only after 2 sessions with her, I was pregnant. Now I have a 2 week healthy baby boy. Tamara is great! She's got lots of positive vibes and she's very calming. She's very caring to her clients. One day we met her at our OB, and she recognized and came to us just to say hi. If you're open to acupuncture for pregnancy, look no further. She's the one! read more

I've always been skeptical of non-western medical treatments, but decided to check out acupuncture treatments while my husband and I were doing IVF. Tamara is amazing! My first visit included a very thorough conversation about my medical history and she quickly put me at ease. I've never been shy around needles, but the thought of having them all over my body was a bit disturbing. She's so gentle and light with her hands (if that makes any sense) that I couldn't feel a thing as she put the needles in. She makes you feel really comfortable. I was always so relaxed after my sessions. I'm also big on personality and can't express how sweet and warm she is. She truly cares about her patients! If you're looking to try acupuncture... she is your go to! Absolutely loved my experience! read more

My husband and I had become a bit stressed about conceiving (due to incorrect test results unfortunately), so we decided to try acupuncture. For both our bodies AND our minds, Tamara was a Godsend. Her warm environment and nature, positive attitude and solution-oriented approach was invaluable. Beyond the acupuncture and nutritional help, she gave my husband and me a confident, positive outlook which helped immensely. We confirmed we were pregnant with our baby boy not long after our first sessions when Tamara! Can't say enough good things about her - kind, professional, helpful, quick to respond. Love Tamara! read more

Tamara ZumMallen Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Tamara has been my lifesaver for YEARS for my horrible migraine headaches. She is the first person I call when a migraine starts and I am so grateful that she is always able to squeeze me in---super important when I'm in this situation. Not only do I trust her knowledge, but she has the best bedside manner of basically anybody I've seen in this field. She is so warm and compassionate and remembers facts about my life and the people in my life, which is just so rare. She has helped tremendously with my headaches, sinus issues and immunity in general, relaxation and on and on. Cannot recommend her more highly! read more
