Dr. Brittany D. Lawrence, OTD, OTR/L
Occupational Therapist
Dacula and Lawrenceville

Brittany graduated from Brenau University in 2019 with a Master's in Science of Occupational. She began working in the outpatient pediatric setting, and then transitioned into the school system after giving birth to her daughter. She returned to school a few years later, attending the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, where she received her Post Professional Doctorate of Occupational Therapy in 2024, focusing on how perinatal mood and anxiety disorders impact mothers and their ability to bond with their child.

Along with being a pediatric occupational therapist, providing services to children in the public school system and in the outpatient setting, Brittany is also a maternal occupational therapist. After the birth of her daughter, she noticed a gap in supportive services for women who were navigating through the pre/postpartum phases, and felt the need to help where she could. Therefore, she joined the board of a non-profit organization that provides an array of supportive services to women transitioning through motherhood, and she opened up her own practice where she provides free 1-1 supportive sessions for moms in need.

Brittany is also a certified Mat Pilates Instructor. Pilates really helped her rebuild her core strength and postural control after having her daughter, so she wanted to be able to facilitate classes to like women who could possibly receive the same benefit.

When not working (which seems like never..lol), she likes to enjoy time with her family and travel as much as possible. She just got married in 2024, and she is the mom of a 16 year old athlete and an energetic 3 year old toddler.

Brittany's favorite quote is "Y.O.L.O." (You only live once). She believes that life is meant to be lived, adventures are meant to taken, memories are meant to be made!
