Personal and Professional Journey

Dr. Shazia Bashir was born in Austin, Texas, and spent her childhood living around the world, including the Middle East and Pakistan, before returning to Minnesota for high school. She studied pre-med and journalism at Northwestern University, earned a Masters in Public Health from Boston University, and completed medical school at Saint Louis University.
Her training continued with an internship in Phoenix, residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at Columbia and Cornell Universities in New York City.
Dr. Bashir spent her early career building a Gynecologic Oncology division in Jacksonville, Florida, where she served as the first Chair of Robotic Surgery at St. Vincent’s Southside. She later held academic appointments at the University of Florida and the University of Massachusetts, where she combined high-volume surgical practice with teaching, research, and national leadership roles. She has served on Society of Gynecologic Oncology committees, including the Wellness Committee and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
Wellness Philosophy
Dr. Bashir’s passion for wellness began in medical school and grew through her travels, including extended stays in Bali where she studied yoga, meditation, and holistic healing practices. In 2017, she became a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and in 2024 completed an additional 50-hour certification in Himalayan and Bhakti yoga.
She believes that true healing extends beyond medicine. Yoga, breathwork, strength training, nutrition, and mindfulness are integral to her approach—not only for her own balance but also as tools she shares with her patients. Her goal is to help women facing cancer not just survive, but thrive!
HOW WHOLE HEALTH ONCOLOGY WAS BORN
Dr. Bashir envisioned a boutique private practice that unites her experience building a Gynecologic Oncology program in private practice with the academic rigor of cutting-edge, evidence-based cancer care—and her lifelong passion for wellness. Whole Health Oncology brings together academic excellence, personalized medicine, and whole-person healing.
“Where advanced cancer care
meets whole-person healing”
