If you’re a myofunctional therapist struggling to confidently talk about your services, you’re not alone. Many therapists face challenges like imposter syndrome, fear of rejection, or simply not knowing how to approach potential clients. The truth is, every client conversation is an opportunity to build trust, educate, and convert leads into loyal clients.
In this post, we’ll explore three practical strategies to help you nail your client conversations, overcome hesitation, and grow your myofunctional therapy business.
1. Know Your Stuff
Confidence starts with knowledge. Being prepared to answer common questions about myofunctional therapy is essential to building trust with potential clients. Some questions you should be ready to answer include:
What is orofacial myofunctional therapy?
Why is nasal breathing healthier than mouth breathing?
What are tongue ties, and why do they matter?
Why is early intervention crucial for craniofacial development?
If you’re unsure about these answers, take the time to study, practice, and refine your understanding. Remember, you don’t need to know everything—but you do need to provide accurate and honest information.
2. Practice Makes Perfect
The more you practice, the more confident you’ll feel. Rehearse your responses to frequently asked questions until they feel natural, not scripted. Use tools like note cards or write down answers to internalize them without memorizing. The goal is to sound authentic and approachable, not robotic.
Think back to your days in hygiene school—what study methods worked for you? Apply those techniques to your myofunctional therapy knowledge. Whether it’s practicing in front of a mirror or role-playing with a friend, consistent practice will transform your communication skills.
3. Change Your Mindset
Your mindset shapes how you present yourself. If you believe in the value of your services, potential clients will too. Start by affirming your worth, even if you’re new to the field. Trust the process and borrow confidence from mentors or peers if needed.
Remember, every expert was once a beginner. Just like a heart surgeon doesn’t perform their first procedure with absolute certainty, you don’t need years of experience to believe in the transformative power of myofunctional therapy. Confidence grows with time, practice, and experience.
Take the Next Step
Building confidence in client conversations takes practice, preparation, and a positive mindset. If you’re ready to transform your communication skills and grow your business, the Ditch Hygiene Academy™offers the tools, resources, and weekly coaching to help you succeed.

If there is one thing I’m certain about, it’s this:
screw being mediocre.
Standing at the starting line watching everyone else run the race just ain’t your thing, right? Lucky for you, it’s not my jam either.
What you will learn on this website is that I’ve found in my passion intersection. I thrive at the intersection of “Myofunctional Therapy Avenue”, “Dental Hygiene Highway”, “Female Entrepreneur Boulevard”, and “Work From Anywhere Way”.
You’re here, in the right place, if your dreams fall right smack dab, at that crossroads.
I’m your gal if you don’t want to be an employee forever.
I’m your gal if you want to learn from someone who has seen incredible success doing exactlywhat I teach you to do.
I’m your gal if you are looking for kickass mentor, not just someone to throw information at you.
When you invest in my programs, you invest in yourself, and I personally think that’s the best investment you can make!
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.
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 1,5and 8.
