How much does a myologist make?

Questions

If I had a dollar for every time I answered the question “how much does a myologist make?” I would be living high on the hog in a cozy mountain chalet, because I answer it all the time!

First of all when someone asks “how much does a myologist make” she is referring to an orofacial myologist or an orofacial myofunctional therapist, also known as a myofunctional therapist.

  

Wondering how much a myologist makes is the million dollar question, but sadly the answer will vary from person to person. Things that will come into play aren’t easy to quantify.  For example, how hard does one therapist work when compared to another?  What if one therapist only wanted / needed to earn some extra spending money and another therapist needed to haul in $10k per month to ditch her dental hygiene gig?

It’s like comparing apples to orangutans.  Ain’t gonna be useful.

(Also, many women want to “know if it’s worth it” before committing to doing the work.)

So for the sake of simplicity, I’m going to answer how much does a myologist make…when it comes to my own practice.

A shit ton.

Yep I said it.  You will earn a lot of money if you do the work.  

You will earn a lot of money if you don’t waste time comparing what other people are doing.

You will earn a lot of money if you don’t procrastinate behind fear!

 

In my case, I’ve been an open book so that you know what’s possible.  I earned 6 figures in my first full year of therapy and now run a multi-six figure business.  So far this year, my smallest earning month has been $19,676 and my largest month came in at $45,847.  So I’m doing decent I’d say!  I earn most of my income from therapy.  If you want to have these kinds of results, then you simply need to be committed to do everything that I teach you to do inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy.  I recently had a student who celebrated her first paying client just 16 weeks after starting the program.  She did exactly what I teach! You can totally do it!  

And…Here’s some other questions that I get asked all the time too.

While you’re doing your research about the DHA, make sure you’re on the waitlist so that you get the very best early bird offer!  PLUS you will get access to a free 3 day training as well, so hop on over and make sure you’re on the list.  (Also, while you’re there mark off some time on your calendar so you can attend the free training the next time it’s offered!)

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!!

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.
