Hi Mamas, I'm Brittany! I have been a physical therapist since 2014! I have a passion for pediatrics and women's health, which is where the inspiration for Mother and Baby Wellness Collective came from.
My career began in pediatrics, treating infants and children. It has been a love of mine since I was a student. I am particularly passionate about treatment of babies 0-3 years to optimize gross motor development in those formative years.
Since becoming a mom and experiencing challenges with my own babies having body tension and struggles with feeding initially due to oral ties and oral dysfunction, I have developed a deeper passion for supporting mom and baby in the early months to improve the comfort of baby and optimize the functions of eating, sleeping, pooping and playing!
When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I quickly noticed the lack of resources for women during the pre-pregnancy, prenatal, and postnatal periods. I found myself doing my own research and wellness programming to keep myself feeling good and able to continue my daily activities and job comfortably. In my postpartum recovery process, pelvic floor physical therapy was so helpful in my journey to returning to the activities that I love to do and reducing pain that came following birth.
Mother and Baby Wellness Collective was born out of my own struggles and the realization that care for mom and baby is seriously lacking. As a team of providers, we all share the same love and determination for serving moms and babies and bettering care in our community.
We are so excited to work with you!
Dr. Elizabeth Cedermark PT, DPT
Hi! I'm Elizabeth, a pelvic floor physical therapist and mom of three boys! I graduated Emory University's Doctor of Physical Therapy program in 2014 and over the last 10 years have worked with a variety of different patient populations. My passion for women's health and pelvic floor PT began 7 years ago when I had my first son and realized there was such a lack of information and resources to help new moms through a very vulnerable time. My favorite part of my job is to collaborate with clients and come up with a plan that feels attainable to them.
I also teach the postpartum Pilates class at Mother Baby Wellness Collective. I am Mat Pilates Certified through Balance Body and have been teaching for over 10 years. I absolutely love incorporating pelvic health knowledge into safe and effective exercises for postpartum women.
I currently live in Dunwoody, GA with my husband and three busy boys. I love getting outside with my family for runs and hikes, and I am always up for trying a new recipe! I look forward to serving you as your pelvic floor PT!
Dr. Marian Durie PT, DPT
Hi! I’m Marian and I’m a pediatric physical therapist! I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of South Florida in Tampa in 2019. I fell in love with working with children
during my time in school and have spent my career in outpatient pediatric clinics treating birth to 21 years.
I have always enjoyed working with the 0 to 3 population because this is such a formative time in their life! It is one of my greatest joys to help children with their gross motor
development, watch them achieve their goals, and support their families along the way.
I currently live in Woodstock with my husband, son, and sweet fur baby. I love going on family walks/hikes, taking ballet classes, and baking. I am so excited to meet you and your little one!
