So you’re researching myofunctional therapy courses!
You’re in the right place! We are the Myofunctional Therapy Training Academy and (shocker!) we have myofunctional therapy courses!
Now before I talk you into enrolling in our myofunctional therapy courses, I thought it might be helpful if I talked about myofunctional therapy courses in general.
The field of orofacial myofunctional therapy is becoming more and more mainstream, which is awesome for you. It means that more practitioners are chatting about it, screening for orofacial myofunctional impairments and then referring to orofacial myofunctional therapists for treatment.
Here’s where things get sticky. Since there is no regulation, anyone can create myofunctional therapy courses. If they can sell it, they can teach it. Just like I did. I didn’t have to get anyone’s permission!
When I started my business one year and took it to a 6-figure business the next, people took notice. When I started my business one year and 14 months later cut back to part time dental hygiene and then retired from dental hygiene 13 months later, people started whispering.
How’d she do that?
What kind of tom-foolery does she have going?
Do you think she could teach me?
So I did. People asked for my method so I taught them. Which is still very similar today, after 1000’s of clients and 100’s of students.
Since you’re here reading this, can I share some important information with you?
I’ve coached on this exact topic many times, so I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the problem. When it comes to selecting myofunctional therapy courses, I think it’s extremely important to do your due diligence.
Reportedly, some of the myofunctional therapy courses out there are overwhelmingly under-delivering. I think the problem is this…
People are asking directions to St. Louis from someone who’s never traveled to St. Louis.
Do you get my drift?
When it comes to researching myofunctional therapy courses, I want you to focus on four key things.
#1. When researching myofunctional therapy courses, you want to be trained by someone who has actually been successful.
The key word here is been. Learn from someone who has done what you desire to do.
If you want to start your own business, it makes sense to learn from someone who has smashing success with that same process (hint Ditch Hygiene Academy).
In other words, don’t ask for directions to St. Louis from someone who has never been to St. Louis. I’ve heard horror stories about many trainers in the field who’ve actually never practiced orofacial myofunctional therapy or had a business. These trainers might be really good at getting the information in your brain, but they will be absolutely worthless to support and mentor you through the practical application process or the business building process.
#2. When researching myofunctional therapy courses, you want to consider how you learn best and how those myofunctional therapy courses are delivered.
If you like to learn in bite-size pieces, then a 3 or 4 day course might feel like you’re drinking from a firehose.
#3. When researching myofunctional therapy courses, you want to consider how you prefer to work and learn.
Is it in small intimate groups, work at your own pace, programs, or just have the information all thrown at you, then you will sort it out.
#4. When researching myofunctional therapy courses, you want to consider your goals.
What do you want to do with the new skillset? Learn from someone who has what you desire to have. Want a profitable business? Makes sense to learn from someone who has said business.
Ok, now that I’ve delivered my advice on things to consider when choosing myofunctional therapy courses, I’m going to validate exactly why the Ditch Hygiene Academy should be your choice when it comes to researching myofunctional therapy courses.
Reason #1. I’ve been to St. Louis.
Not literally but figuratively. I’ve been successful. I am successful. Do you know what these numbers mean: $31,732.12, $29,038.44, $12,544.45 and $9,496.67? Of the last 12 months, those are my highest and lowest months. I think that shows I’ve experienced success. I’ve earned the honor to teach you my process because it’s repeatable and it works. Fun fact, most of my months are in the $20,000+ range.
Reason #2. I know that people learn best with micro-learning.
Which is how I teach. Manageable information delivered a little bit at a time and then paired with practical application of those new skills. Learn and do. Learn and implement. It’s the only way to success.
Reason #3. I’m going out on a limb here, but I think most women like to learn with a small cohort of women who are going through the same thing.
The same decisions. The same struggles. The same questions. Some of the most amazing relationships are developed here and you automatically have your best girlfriend cheer squad. I’d say that’s a win.
Reason #4. I can’t answer this for you, but I have a sneaking hunch that you’re researching myofunctional therapy courses because you’re bored, burnout, injured, pissed off or disenchanted with the fairytale life of being a dental hygienist.
If you are, and you’re here because you have a clearly aligned goal to grow a profitable orofacial myofunctional therapy business, then I am your human. If your goal is to start a business so you can live and die by your own sword, then it would make the most sense to choose a myofunctional therapy course such as the Ditch Hygiene Academy, which is specifically designed to support you through the creation of your business and it’s created and taught by someone who has had smashing success doing the very thing I will teach you.
So, whaddya say? Do you feel like you have learned a lot about myofunctional therapy courses?
