Wendy Shanks - Nurse
Hi my name is Wendy and I am a Registered nurse. I achieved honours in Nursing Science from Queen’s University in 1989. My career started in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where I spent over a decade looking after critically ill infants and helping families during what was supposed to be one of the happiest times of their lives.
After struggling to start a family of my own, I shifted my professional focus to women’s health, specializing in the field of fertility nursing. I am a member of both the CNO and RNAO professional organizations.
Diagnosed with a chronic disease at a young age and living with illness most of my life, it was holistic medicine that changed my life when all else failed. I am an advocate of integrative medicine and strongly believe in the connection between one's mental, physical and emotional health.
I strive to find a work life balance as a Registered nurse, a licensed Realtor, and a Mom. When I am not working, I spend my time in a hot yoga room, riding our horse and escaping to the cottage with my family and three dogs.

At the Clinic For Advanced Health, believe in offering a holistic model that integrates both conventional medicine and alternative therapies to form a comprehensive individualized treatment plan that is uniquely customized to each person’s needs.
