Wendy Skinner, BSN, RN, VABC
Owner and Operator, Balanced Bodies Dawsonville
Brief Description / Bio
Wendy Skinner, BSN, RN, VABC, is the owner and operator of Balanced Bodies Dawsonville, a premium longevity and wellness clinic serving patients across Dawsonville, Cumming, Forsyth County, Dawson County, and the broader North Georgia region. With a clinical background rooted in emergency response, emergency nursing, perioperative care, and board-certified vascular access, Wendy brings a standard of clinical discipline to the wellness space that sets Balanced Bodies apart from the growing number of practices offering similar services.
Her healthcare career began in 2008 as a firefighter and first responder, a foundation that shaped her instinct for precision, safety, and calm under pressure. She went on to become a registered nurse with emergency department experience, earned the DAISY Award for perioperative nursing excellence in 2022, and achieved board certification in vascular access in 2024. These are not credentials collected for optics. They represent a clinician who has consistently held herself to a higher standard across every phase of her career.
At Balanced Bodies, Wendy works alongside Medical Director Dr. Kent Cohen, MD, and a clinical team that includes an NP-C and a PA-C, to deliver personalized care across hormone health, medical weight loss, peptide therapy, sexual wellness, IV therapy, body contouring, halotherapy, and hair restoration. The practice operates on a whole-body philosophy: symptoms have measurable causes, treatment plans should be built around the individual, and patients deserve providers who take their concerns seriously.
Wendy was recognized as Best Non-MD Medical Professional in Dawson County in 2026 and Business Leader of the Year in 2026, reflecting both her clinical standing and her impact on the North Georgia community she serves.
