If you’ve been telling yourself you’re “too busy” to build your myofunctional therapy business… it’s time to call BS.

Because here’s the truth: You don’t need more time. You need better priorities.

I’ve been where you are — hustling in the op, dreaming about the day I’d finally have space to build the business (and life) I was bonkers about. But back then, my calendar was a mess, and I had no idea where my time was really going.

Sound familiar? Then grab a pen, friend, because I’m about to teach you the same 3-step time audit I teach inside Ditch Hygiene Academy™. This is how you stop bleeding hours and start reclaiming your schedule.

 

Step 1: Track It

You can’t fix what you can’t see.

For 3–5 days, write down everything you do. Yes, everything. From hygiene shifts to TikTok spirals to “just one quick Target run.”

Be honest. No judgment. The goal here is clarity — not guilt. Most of my students are shocked when they see how many hours they’re wasting.

 

Step 2: Score It

Next, go through your log and score each activity:

Red: Time-wasters like doom scrolling and Netflix

Yellow: Obligations like your job, laundry, and errands

Green: Biz-building gold like client calls, content creation, and Ditch Hygiene Academy™ modules

Ask yourself: Is this fueling my dream or draining my energy?

 

Step 3: Shift It

Here’s where you make the magic happen.

Cut out or delegate the reds. Simplify the yellows. Ruthlessly protect the greens. That might mean hiring a housekeeper, letting Instacart handle your groceries, or turning off Netflix an hour earlier so you can focus on your business.

Even just 3–5 focused hours a week is enough to build momentum.

So stop telling yourself you’re too busy. You’re not. You just need to take control.

If you’re ready to ditch the chaos and finally put your business first, start your time audit today — and then send me your biggest aha moment. I’d love to hear it.

Until next time, go build a life you’re absolutely bonkers about.

Cheering You On 😘,

Carmen

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.
