Our approach bridges the gap between ancient Chinese healing traditions and modern healthcare, offering treatments that work in harmony with your overall medical plan to promote optimal health and recovery. Clinic's story and what inspired its creation

The inspiration behind Tong Shen TCM Clinic stems from a deeply personal journey. During my recovery from an ankle reconstruction surgery, I experienced firsthand the transformative impact of support beyond what Western medicine could provide. This profound experience ignited a passion to help others remove the blockages in their lives that prevent them from living fully. As a former teacher, I found joy in helping students overcome challenges, but I realized I wanted to make an even broader impact. Tong Shen TCM Clinic was created as a space for healing and empowerment, dedicated to supporting those who have experienced a medical event, are undergoing treatment or procedures, or seek care that extends beyond the scope of Western medicine.

1 year ago on February 6, 2025, Tong Shen TCM Clinic opened to see the first patient.

Since then, I've welcomed over 90 people into the clinic and had so many amazing things happen. Every cell in the human body is screaming to heal, improve, and grow, and I've been so impressed with how much people can heal!

I have hoped and wished to have the strength and courage to be of service to the community every single day, and now I am in a position where I get to do that. I'm so thankful for the support from the community for the clinic so I can fulfill my purpose and do what truly brings me joy.

I'm excited to keep activating everyone's natural healing superpowers each time they come in for treatment and help everyone have a healthier and more fulfilling life!

I'd like to share a quote from Chapter 1 of the Ling Shu, a classical Chinese text, roughly translated to English -

When you needle it and the qi arrives,
then remove it;
do not needle again.

Each needle has what is appropriate to it;
each differs in form;
each should be entrusted to its proper place—
this is the essential principle of needling.

When qi arrives and there is effect,
the effect is reliable and trustworthy,
like the wind blowing away clouds;

Clarity appears as if one were seeing the blue heavens themselves—
the Way of needling is thereby complete.

From this quote you can see why I go through the process to stimulate each needle until the 'qi sensation' is felt. Every insertion. Every patient. Every appointment.

I look forward to continuing to serve the community, to blow away the clouds of dis-ease and discomfort, and to bring the clarity of the blue sky into each person's life as we work together to heal.

I give my most sincere thank you to all that have supported me, THANK YOU.

With so many options for your healthcare, why should you choose Dr. Kevin Farnham, DACM, LAc. at Tong Shen TCM Clinic?

1. TIME
Do you want to spend a whole hour with your health care provider instead of just 5-15 minutes? Would you like to use a healthcare modality that has withstood the test of time and has been used for thousands of years instead of treatments that have only been around for a short period of time?

2. EDUCATION
Would you like to visit with a healthcare provider that is interested in educating you about your health, your treatment, and your treatment plan? Would you like to have an in depth conversation about healthcare philosophy and your treatment so you can develop an understanding about why your treatment is being done and why you are being given certain recommendations? As a former teacher, I understand how to educate and teach you so you leave the clinic feeling like you understand how to take meaningful steps forward.

3. COMPASSION
Would you like to have a provider who is sincerely compassionate toward you and your health condition? As someone who has a chronic health condition, I've been dismissed by plenty of providers over the years. That's why I'm dedicated to listening to my patients concerns and empowering them to define the focus of the treatment. When you're getting what you want from your healthcare, you'll be more engaged and be more willing to participate!

I sincerely hope that everyone will find a health care treatment with a licensed healthcare provider that works for them! Friends don't let friends be their own (unlicensed) doctor! If you're ready to bring an excellent healthcare provider into your support circle, book your appointment at Tong Shen TCM Clinic today!

Do you have lingering cold + flu symptoms that just won't quit? Are you having difficulty getting in a full breath? Are you continuing to have coughing fits and phlegm even though you 'should of been better by now'? Are you frustrated that you're trying everything you can to get better but it's just not working?

What if there was a way to activate your natural healing superpowers and kick your symptoms to the curb?

Acupuncture + Traditional Chinese Medicine help to activate your body's natural processes so you can heal and get your life back. This is the reason I became an acupuncturist. I've used acupuncture so many times when other solutions weren't working or there wasn't any other options. Now I'm so passionate about educating people about how acupuncture can help them improve their health!

Everyone deserves a treatment that works for them. If you've gone through the normal course of antibiotics/antivirals, over the counter meds, and rest and you still aren't feeling better, it's time to activate your natural healing superpowers with acupuncture!

Book your first appointment! At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we spend the whole hour with you in the room so you can get the best possible care! -https://tongshenclinic.janeapp.com/locations/tong-shen-tcm-clinic/book

It's been a great year of service to the Vancouver and Clark County community! I am so thankful for everyone who has allowed me to be a part of their healthcare team!

So many people this year have come to me feeling frustrated, stuck, or unheard after trying many solutions without real relief.
It's so rewarding to see these people activate their natural healing superpowers and improve their own health and the health of their families, especially those who tell me they've received help from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) after years of struggling with western solutions. They have said things like 'you gave me help when other solutions didn't work', 'I don't know where I'd be without you', 'I'm blown out of the water with the results I'm getting from this', and 'this is so much different than what I expected'. Everyone deserves to have an opportunity to feel their health shift, their body relax, and find a way to truly recover from what ails them.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly a powerful tool for helping people reach that better state of health they've been dreaming of - sometimes for years! From head to toe, there are so many patients that felt they are getting to a place with their health they've wanted to be for a long time when they started using TCM. The natural healing capability of the human body is incredible! I'm so impressed with the healing capabilities of all of my patients, and especially impressed with those who have embraced a mindset of continuous improvement and wanting to keep building on their progress once their first issue has been resolved!

Do you know someone who is struggling with their health? Maybe they feel like their out of options and ready to give up on healthcare altogether?

What would it mean to them if they could finally have a partner in healthcare? Someone who would take the time to listen, understand their goals, and someone who has the tools and knowledge to create a path toward healing? Someone with natural solutions that doesn't include more drugs, surgery, antibiotics, steroids, or yes...GLPs?

If someone comes to mind, they deserve to know that help exists - and I'd be honored to support them. Please refer them to Dr. Kevin Farnham, DACM, LAc. at Tong Shen TCM Clinic.

As we move into the new year, I will keep striving to have the strength, knowledge, courage, focus, and determination to continue serving this community and helping as many people as I am able to activate their NATURAL HEALING SUPERPOWERS!

Today, I went and purchased a number of herbal formulas for my patients. At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we choose to use Classical Pearls formulas due to their ability to source high quality ingredients and prepare them in a way that makes the herbs the most effective.

Are you interested in Chinese herbal medicine? Read more about the approaches of Classical Pearls - https://www.classicalpearls.org/our-approach/

Are you interested in how Chinese herbal medicine can help you achieve excellent health? At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, patients start with a couple of acupuncture sessions to see what is easy to move/change and what is having a bit more trouble. Herbs are then added in to the treatment plan to enhance the effects of acupuncture and continue the treatment on a daily basis between sessions.
