Am I a Good Fit to Be a Myofunctional Therapist?

I want to fire up my career!

Am I a Good Fit To Be a Myofunctional Therapist?

This is an easy one to answer!  If you have a caregivers heart and a sincere passion to serve others, then yes you are a good fit to become a myofunctional therapist!  There is so much myofunctional impairment out there in the world today, that we need more hands on deck!

What does it look like to be a myofunctional therapist?

Boy this is a fun one to answer.  Now…I’m going to tell you what it looks like for me to be a myofunctional therapist.  But first, I have to give you a little back story.

I went into dental hygiene for all the wrong reasons.  I was bored stiff in hygiene and I grew more disenchanted with it by the month.  That may not be the case for you, but either way, I think that even those dental hygienists who “love” their jobs would also love to have a little bit of what “life looks like as a myofunctional therapist” from my perspective….

  • My ideal day:  I intentionally design my day so that I get to take care of my #1 priority (ME) before I do anything else. (This is a foundation that I teach inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy.)
  • No alarms:  I’ve gotten my circadian rhythm to a beautiful place and now I operate like clockwork.  Sleep at 10 pm.  Embrace the day at 6 am.. No rude alarm needed.
  • No gas bill or commuting expenses:  The furthest I drive is down the road to my gym.  Can you imagine the luxury of not having to commute to work?  Priceless.  This means I haven’t had to warm up my car or drive to work in the snow / winter blizzard for 4+ years!
  • 3-5xing what I ever earned in hygiene
  • Adding to my retirement savings and personal wealth…like a boss
  • I currently see clients about 10-12 hours per week and enjoy running a multi-6-figure company
  • My dog’s life has drastically changed since I started working from home 100% of the time.  No more crates or kennels.  Playtime at the park every single morning before I even think about work!  Plenty of time for doggie loves during the day when I take breaks from clients!
  • Home cooked meals nightly because I’ve designed my ideal day and have cooking nutritious meals as a foundation of my day
  • Geographic freedom:  I travel 40-60% of the year and nobody knows because I am the boss of my schedule!

I’m sure there are alot of things that I missed, but I hit on the biggies.  I am living my dream life.  It’s not about cars, handbags or a big house.  It’s about the fact that I don’t have to report to a job.  I choose my schedule and how much I work.  I earn much more money than I ever would have in dental hygiene and I’m getting caught up in the retirement planning game.  I’m debt free and I am loving life!!

If you find a little tickle in your belly saying “Carmen, I want those things too”…then you need to meet me inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy the next time we open the doors.  Don’t waste your time considering any other program because I teach the most comprehensive program where you will not only receive the most comprehensive, step-by-step framework to build your own profitable practice, but you will be supported, mentored, motivated and celebrated with an incredible group of students doing exactly what you are….getting started!!

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.
