Let’s be real—if your website isn’t working for you, it’s working against you. And by “working for you,” I don’t mean sitting pretty with a fancy design. I mean actually saving you time, booking clients, answering questions, and making your life easier.

Because here’s the thing: You do not have time to answer the same emails over and over. You do not have time to manually schedule appointments. And you definitely do not have time for tire-kickers who just want to “pick your brain” but aren’t actually ready to invest in therapy.

That’s where your website comes in. It should be your hardest-working, never-sleeps, takes-no-breaks employee—aka your 24/7 personal assistant.

Why Your Website is Non-Negotiable

Think about all the repetitive questions you get:
❓ What is myofunctional therapy?
❓ How much does it cost?
❓ Do you take insurance?
❓ How do I book an appointment?

Now imagine never having to answer those manually again. That’s what a smart website does. It becomes your go-to response instead of spending hours in your inbox.

For example, back when I was just getting started, I used to personally respond to every email. Now? I send them straight to my website. They find everything—FAQs, pricing, how to book, and more—without me lifting a finger.

If you’re serious about building a business that supports your dream life, your website has to serve, not just exist.

 

What Your Website Needs to Include

✅ Legal Stuff (Yes, You Need It)
Look, I know terms & conditions, privacy policies, and disclaimers aren’t exciting, but they’re necessary. They protect your business and make you look professional.

Inside Ditch Hygiene Academy™, we have a lesson called Legally Launching Your Business, taught by a lawyer, where you can grab templates and be done with it. No need to reinvent the wheel.

 

✅ Education & FAQs (Your Time-Saving Superpower)
Your website should answer everything you find yourself repeating—before a client even books.

✔️ FAQ section (because if you’ve answered it more than twice, put it on the site)
✔️ Educational content (what myofunctional therapy is, how it works, what symptoms it helps)
✔️ Self-identification tools (so clients can figure out if this is right for them before they book)

This also helps weed out people who aren’t the right fit, saving you time.

 

✅ Lead Magnets (Because Your Email List is Gold)
If you aren’t growing your email list, you’re missing out on one of the biggest assets in your business.

Unlike social media (which can disappear overnight—hello, algorithm changes), your email list is yours.

A lead magnet (free checklist, self-assessment, or guide) is a simple way to build trust and get potential clients into your ecosystem.

…and the best part?  Of course, I have a whole lesson on this inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy™ program.

 

✅ Automated Scheduling (No More “What Time Works for You?” Emails)
If you’re still manually scheduling appointments, please stop. Right now.

You train your clients how to treat you, and making them go back and forth to book time with you? That’s setting you up for chaos.

Use embedded scheduling on your site, not a third-party link. Why? Because it keeps people on your website, which helps your SEO (aka, makes Google happy).

Bonus: If you work globally, this eliminates time zone drama—no more “Wait, it’s 12 PM here, so what time is it there?” nonsense.

 

Let’s Make Your Website Work for Your Myofunctional Therapy Business

Here’s the bottom line—your website is not just a digital brochure. It should:
💡 Educate potential clients so you don’t have to.
💡 Filter out tire-kickers who aren’t ready to invest.
💡 Automate scheduling and paperwork so you aren’t drowning in admin work.

You didn’t start this business to spend all day answering emails and booking appointments manually. You started this business for freedom.

Your website should be saving you time and making you money—let’s make sure it’s doing exactly that.

 

🥂,

Carmen

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I've taken another course?

If you've taken another course and don't feel prepared to dip your toes in, then we recommend that you invest in another course.  We've got many students who've taken multiple courses and found that our course and leadership were the bomb-diggidy that finally made things click!

Will this course give me business training too?

The Ditch Hygiene Program was designed to give you the myofunctional therapy foundation as well as learn how to start / run your business.  Throughout the entire course, you learn exactly what Carmen did to build a multi 6-figure business (soon to be 7 figure business).  Plus, you will also have several interviews and business case studies from other therapists about their own business journey.

What sets this program apart from others?

What makes the Ditch Hygiene Academy different?

The leadership of Carmen.  She empowers, educates, and encourages you along the way...while helping you become a myofunctional problem solver.  The Ditch Hygiene Academy doesn't just lure you in and leave you.  Our program leads you.  The testimony speaks volumes.

Carmen never tops mentoring and coaching you.  Your success is her success.  This is a high-touch premium level program.  There is only room for go-getters!  Carmen shows you the path and teaches you to believe in yourself, your process, and the possibilities of what life can bring!!

This program is absolutely the only one of it's kind that offers practical application for both therapy and business.  You work alongside other ambitious women who are exactly where you are...at the beginning!  Carmen is there every step of the way, from mock clients, practice clients to a real life apprenticeship!

How long can I access the material?

Your teaching cohort will be 24 weeks long, and longer if you choose to uplevel for stage 4 or 5 training.  You will have access to all materials for that length+ an additional 30 days to tie up loose ends.  If you enroll as a gold level member, you get access for the lifetime of the course! All information will be located inside your course agreement when you enroll.

Who can take the course?

Dental hygienists. We ask for proof of your credentials before finalizing your enrollment.

Do I have to get "certified"?

While there is an option in some programs to get a "certificate", it is not necessary, nor does the training guarantee your success.  Currently, myofunctional therapy is written (by the ADHA) into the scope of practice.  This means you need to get the myofunctional education, but it doesn't mean you have to pay the high expense of a "certification" program.  If you see the need for this certification, then you should seek out those programs and compare expenses to do so.  Our program has had a successful mix of those who wanted to do both.  Let's face it...you will get your education from many sources...myofunctional therapy education is not a "one and done" type of learning sequence! The Ditch Hygiene Academy is not a "certification" program and does not endorse or recommend any program.

Training does not = competency.  Keep that in mind.  It takes experience to have competency!

How will I reach people?

You learn many different tactics in the program.  There are primarily three different ways that clients were introduced to us.  1) Hygiene patient 2) Found via a search 3 ) Referred to us

You also learn about our story and how we were able to build a team and teach people.  Networking and marketing strategy is part of the step-by-step roadmap provided for you by this program.  

What if I don't like the program?

We are pretty serious about our passion to help only the serious folks.  Since this is a digital course, we do not offer a refund because you get immediate access to the material.  Please make sure you have thought your decision through before registering!  Because once you do...she is yours!!  Want to take a sneek peek?  Here is a peek at lesson 1, 5 and 8.
