Whitney Brown, PT, DPT

Whitney's path to pelvic health started in pediatrics. After earning her undergraduate and doctoral degrees at East Tennessee State University, she worked in school settings and pediatric clinics, then stepped into a role that blended pediatrics with pelvic health. That combination hooked her.

Today, Whitney treats both adults and children. Her pediatric sweet spot is at either end of childhood: she especially enjoys working with newborns and teenagers. She has also discovered a real talent for teaching. Twice a month, she teaches Empassion's clinical collective, part of the clinic's post-graduate mentorship program, where the team's therapists keep building their skills together. Thoughtful and always prepared, Whitney is an Enneagram 6, which may explain why teaching comes so naturally to her.

Outside the clinic, Whitney is a pro shopper with an eye for style and a knack for finding a good deal. She's an avid reader who winds down with a book in hand. She never considered herself much of a basketball fan—until meeting her husband, Garrison, who quickly converted her into a loyal supporter of Science Hill and UNC-Chapel Hill basketball.
