Amelia Persaud, co-owner of Tongue-Tie Laser Center of Atlanta (TLC) received her Masters degree in Occupational Therapy (OT) from the New York Institute of Technology. She lives and practices in Atlanta, GA with her two children, and her husband (Dr. Mark Persaud). After over 10 years of experience as an OT, the challenges she faced with nursing her two children, resulted in a major shift in her career path. Her and her husband sought out solutions to help with their children, not realizing the very answers were already within their academic realm. Her first CE that opened her eyes to this field of medicine was with the American Laser Study Club, which helped her realize that not only were children tied, but that she was too! She had always suffered from chronic neck pain, TMJD, and migraines, which all resolved with her own tongue-tie and lip release. Through her personal journey, she re-focused her career as an OT to revolve around infant growth and development, TOTs, and airway. She a Myofunctional Therapist and a Certified Professional TummyTime!™ Method provider. With her extensive knowledge, she has helped develop TLC’s program alongside Dr. Persaud, which strongly supports pre-and post therapy and optimal timing release.
