..👋👋👋 I’m Carmen Woodland!

I’m a bored, burnt out dental hygienist – turned – orofacial – myofunctional – therapy – business – building – expert.

(Try that 10 times fast! 🤣)

I spent 16 years in the pit of hell as a dental hygienist wondering if my life was really going to play out with spiritless, unexciting, unvaried, tedious, monotonous, mundane, and uninteresting work.

I yearned for something interesting.  I desired fascinating, different, lively, exciting and impactful work.

I googled “alternative careers for a dental hygienist” and researched them all.

Most of them appeared to be as exciting as watching paint dry.

Nope.  Not for me.  Hell no.  Not for this girl.

I had learned the basics about orofacial myofunctional therapy at a conference very early in my career and never thought about it again.

Until I did.  

In 2015, hot off the press MBA degree in hand, I still found myself desperate NOT to waste 16 years of skills and start over with entry level wages.

I dusted off my orofacial myofunctional therapy curiosity and enrolled in a program to teach me how to do it.

By 2016, I was deep in the trenches of building a business with my sights set on hygiene retirement.  It was baptism by fire.  For sure.

I knew enough to be dangerous, but not enough to confidently have conversations about what I did or who I could help.  I was afraid to tell anyone what I was doing.

But I figured it out.  Every day taking another step closer to the woman I wanted to be… owning the business I wanted to own…helping the people I was meant to help.

As a result, I have changed 1000’s of lives and grown a multi-6 figure business that I’m very proud of.

When others started asking me how I did it, the Myo Mastery Program, Ditch Hygiene Academy and the Myofunctional Therapy Training Academy was born.

To date, I’ve trained and supported 100’s of dental hygienists, dentists and speech therapists through the implementation of these skills.
