Whitney attended Occidental College in Los Angeles, where she earned her BA in kinesiology in 2006. Her own experiences with shoulder injuries led her to pursue physical therapy, and she completed her doctorate in physical therapy at Chapman University in 2010.

Whitney's passion lies in treating women's health conditions, such as pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and post-mastectomy shoulder girdle pain. She has pursued advanced training, including the year-long GIFT fellowship in Applied Functional Science in 2015, and specialized courses in pelvic pain and incontinence through renowned institutes.
