Ancient Roots Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

"I wanted to give acupuncture a try for my chronic back and neck pain. I was lucky to have found Dr. Tamra Portalla at Ancient Roots Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. Her office space is clean and quiet with easy on street parking. Scheduling was hassle free and we quickly worked out a treatment plan together. The treatments are amazing! Tamra is welcoming, knowledgable and above all caring. My pain has been reduced considerably allowing me to be more active. I plan on going back soon!"

"I recently moved to Rhode Island from the west coast and was looking for acupuncture and cupping services for back pain and plantar fasciitis. I am so grateful to have found Tamra! She demonstrates strong expertise of the human body and knowledge of acupuncture. Additionally, she is a natural problem-solver who truly listens to her clients, making sure to create a relaxing ambience for healing. All of these factors combined have resulted in the best acupuncture and cupping I have ever experienced from any provider! Strongly recommended and we are lucky to have her in Providence."

"Tamra is such a nice and sweet caring person. I am glad I found a lovely acupuncturist. She is the first acupuncturist I’ve ever been to. I went in because I heard acupuncture could help regulate your menstrual cycle. Within the first week, I had a (finally) normal period and whether it was because of the acupuncture or not, I was able to conceive (not intentional). Tamra was able to continue to provide acupuncture throughout the duration of my pregnancy up until I recently moved. Tamra is very skilled and I would recommend her to anyone."

"At first I was very nervous about the idea of having a bunch of needles sticking out of me like a porcupine! However, Tamara’s way of being is kind, compassionate and easy to speak to. She answered any of my questions and is extremely knowledgeable about alternative medicine. The treatment has been beneficial to my body, helping with inflammation, muscle soreness, muscle aches, tension, stress and the list goes on! I am thankful I chose her as my Alcupunture practitioner, the minute you walk in the ambience of the place naturally feels like an escape from all that is happening in the world. I walk away with ease, centered and inner peace. She is a great addition to my healing process! ~Sparrow"

"Tamra is AMAZING! She’s a gentle, compassionate, intuitive healer. She offers a large selection of services to fit many needs. Scheduling with her is very easy and she makes you feel like you’re her only priority when you’re in treatment with her. She’s helped my body feel better and I keep improving with every treatment I have. I would recommend her 10/10 times."
