Wendy Shubin, MPAS, PA-C, has been a Certified Physician Assistant in Women’s Healthcare since 2001. She first started practicing medicine back east in Obstetrics and Gynecology. After relocating to California in 2005, she began working at HRC Fertility specializing in Reproductive Endocrinology. For over seven years, Wendy helped hundreds of women on their fertility journey. She developed close relationships with her patients to create a comfortable and safe environment for them to be truly vulnerable. Wendy spent much of her time at HRC running Phase II and III clinical trials leading the way for new medical advances in assisted reproductive technology while providing free IVF treatments to those who were otherwise financially challenged. When not running clinical trials, Wendy was autonomous in diagnosing and creating treatment protocols for patients. She also managed and treated high-risk obstetric patients who underwent assisted reproductive technologies.

While back east, Wendy taught Pilates and Spinning at the local YMCA and became Prenatal Fitness certified. She opened up a Yoga and Pilates studio in June 2001, running the Pilates program. Their grand opening day was Wendy’s first yoga class. From that day forward, she never looked back. Through practicing yoga, Wendy learned how to truly be in the service of others by realigning her approach towards her own daily struggles and negative patterns. She realized that by changing her negative thoughts she was creating the world she wanted to live in. Wendy admits old patterns arise daily, but her practice allows her to identify them quickly and use the tools she has learned on her mat to get back on her path to continue to grow. The most profound realization she made from yoga is that imperfection is perfection. Humility makes us human and laughing at ourselves is one of the best stress releases life has to offer.

Soon after the studio opening, Wendy partook in an Ashtangha teacher training and started teaching Ashtangha and Vinyasa Flow. In 2008, Wendy met Brenda Strong, founder of Strong Yoga^® 4Women, and decided to join forces to introduce her patients to Strong Yoga^® 4Fertility. She became a certified Strong Yoga^® 4Fertility Teacher in 2009. Wendy has spent the last 7 1/2 years combining her two passions: yoga and fertility, creating well rounded treatment protocols for patients. She believes in treating the whole patient through individualized treatment plans involving nutrition, yoga, pranayama (breath work), acupuncture and Western medicine. She has also studied at The Hall Center Venice expanding her knowledge on bio-identical hormone replacement for both men and women. She currently works for Planned Parenthood where she can finally give back to underserved populations here in the Los Angeles area. Wendy maintains close professional relationships with her supervising physicians at HRC to stay abreast of the ever changing world of fertility.
