Whitney was born and raised in New Jersey, then ventured to Pennsylvania where she began working in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in Quality & Compliance. After running into and happily marrying her hometown friend their family quickly grew from 2 to 4 when they were blessed with two beautiful children. After giving birth to their second child, she experienced perinatal anxiety, postpartum depression and rage. The pressure of a toxic workplace and lack of self-care, she decided to seek therapy and walk away from her career of 12 years. 

​

While she was battling PPD she was eagerly looking for help or just an non-judgemental ear from someone who could understand exactly what she was going through. Once she came across Postpartum Support International something in her head clicked and she knew she was on the right path. Not only learning more about herself, she discovered God's purpose for her life helping others through one of the most impactful transitions of becoming a parent. 

 

Whitney quickly began networking with professionals and peers with years of knowledge who could hear, see and feel her passion. Now, as the Maternal Mental Health Advocate for Pennsylvania, she has been dedicated to offering peer support, coaching, and holistic healing practices to support postpartum birthing individuals and families in their mental health journey. Her mission is to create a nurturing and supportive environment for birthing individuals & new families to prioritize their mental well-being and thrive during their transition.
