81 I Myofunctional Therapy Certification: What You Actually Need to Know Before You Commit

81 I Myofunctional Therapy Certification: What You Actually Need to Know Before You Commit

Are you still collecting credentials, hoping the next one will finally make you feel ready? Hi friend, You have done the training. You have the skills. And you are still waiting for something to click into place before you start. I hear this every single week, and I want to talk about it directly, because the thing most people won't say out loud is that being trained and being credentialed are not the same thing, and neither one of them is what actually gets you clients. This episode is the honest conversation about myofunctional therapy training, what it means, what it does not mean, and why so many trained therapists are stuck in the same place after spending thousands of dollars. I hired an attorney years ago to research this question because I was being told dental hygienists had no business doing myofunctional therapy without a specific credential. What she found changed how I think about this field entirely. There is no governing board. There is no regulatory agency. And in her professional opinion, calling yourself trained with advanced skills in myofunctional therapy was actually more accurate than the alternative. What I am seeing in the real world is therapists who have done the coursework, maybe even have letters behind their name, and still do not know where to start. They cannot put together a therapy template. They do not have a niche. They do not know how to talk about what they do without it coming out desperate. That is not a credential problem. That is a business problem, and no training program has solved it for them yet. Letters do not make you a good therapist. The reps do. Working with clients, building your template, learning how to talk about what you do with confidence — that is what gets you good. That is what builds a practice. And that is the gap this episode is about. This episode is for you if you are trained, maybe even credentialed, and you are still asking yourself what to do next.

80 I Setting Up an Online Myofunctional Therapy Practice: The Business Diagnostic

Are you running your online myofunctional therapy practice on a foundation that can actually hold clients, or are you marketing on top of a missing base?  Hi friend, Most trained myofunctional therapists start in exactly the same place. They finish their training, they build a website, they set up an Instagram account, they start posting, and then months go by with no consistent clients and no clear answer for why. The problem is almost never the clinical skills. It is almost always a short list of business fundamentals that nobody covered in the training course, and most therapists do not realize they are missing them until they have spent years frustrated and quietly wondering if they made a mistake. In this episode, Carmen walks you through the exact business diagnostic she runs with every single student inside The Profitable Myofunctional Therapist before they do anything else. Marketing, visibility, content — none of it works until the foundational pieces are in place. This is your honest self-assessment: business name, structure, EIN, payment processing, website, offer, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, and more. You will walk away knowing exactly where your gaps are and what to work on next. This episode is for the trained myofunctional therapist who is doing all the things and still wondering why nothing is connecting. Grab your ☕coffee and your courage — and let's dive in!

79 I Myofunctional Therapy Training for Dental Hygienists: Why You're Already Ahead

Are you a dental hygienist who has been sitting on the idea of myofunctional therapy, telling yourself you're not ready, not clinical enough, not the right fit? Hi friend, You are not starting over. You are adding something to the toolbox, and that is a very different thing. In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why dental hygienists are in a uniquely powerful position when they add myofunctional therapy to their skill set. The anatomy knowledge you have built over years in the op? That transfers. The way you communicate with patients, build trust fast, explain complex things simply, motivate behavior change in a 45-minute window? That transfers too. Your clinical eye, your documentation instincts, your ability to walk into a room and read a face? All of it transfers.  What doesn't transfer is the belief that starting something new means starting from zero. You are not starting from zero. You are starting from years of clinical experience that most people who want to do this work spend months trying to build. The only real gap is the formal myofunctional therapy training itself, and that has a very clear, very manageable solution. I also talk about why right now is the time, not because I am trying to manufacture urgency, but because the profession is genuinely shifting. The doctors who dismissed myofunctional therapy are being replaced by airway-focused practitioners who are actively looking for trained therapists to refer to and collaborate with. The tide has turned, and the hygienists who make this move now are getting in before it gets crowded. This episode is for the burned-out, bored dental hygienist who knows she cannot do this forever and is finally ready to figure out what comes next.

78 I She Was Trained, Stuck, and Full of Self-Doubt — Then This Happened

What happens when a trained myofunctional therapist finally stops trying to figure it out alone? Hi friend, Brooke Wilkins knew she had strong clinical skills. She knew myofunctional therapy changed lives. What she didn't know was how to run a business — and that gap was quietly destroying her confidence, her offer, and her ability to get anyone in the door. By the time she and I started working together one-on-one, she had already told me more than once that she couldn't afford coaching and was thinking about closing her doors before she'd really even opened them. Four months later, she had a $12,000 month. That is one student's result, not a guarantee. Your results depend on your market, effort, offer, consistency, and follow-through. But the reason it happened isn't a mystery, and that's exactly what this episode is about. Brooke and I sit down and walk through the whole arc — where she was when she first came to me (defeated, squirrel-brained, shaky offer, no systems), what shifted in those first two months of coaching, and what it actually looks like when a trained therapist stops waiting to feel ready and starts doing the work in the right order. We talk about pricing, confidence, getting off the software merry-go-round, and why the clinical training you already have is not the problem.  If you're trained, you care about this work, and you still can't get traction — this episode is for you.  Grab your ☕coffee and your courage — and let's dive in!

77 I Best Myofunctional Therapy Courses for Dental Hygienists in 2026: How to Actually Choose

How do you pick a myofunctional therapy course when you've had a dozen tabs open for six months and still can't commit to one? Hi friend, If you've been comparing courses for weeks, or months, here's the thing nobody selling one will say out loud. The best course is not the one with the biggest name or the most modules. It's the one you'll finish, and the one that teaches you how to get clients, not just how to do the therapy. A course you never complete, or one that leaves you trained but stuck with no idea where clients come from, is the most expensive course there is. In this episode I walk you through six real criteria that separate a course that gets you working from one that leaves you stuck. We get into why the biggest name and the extra letters behind your name don't make you a good practitioner, why your goal (a side service in your office, or a real business) changes everything, and why the person you learn from should have already built the kind of business you want. I cover the unsexy business basics a real course has to teach, money and margins, offers, sales, operations, and the visibility work most courses skip completely. Then I tell you the one thing not to do when you compare your options, because you are never comparing apples to apples.  This one's for you if you're the hygienist with the tabs open, smart enough to research, stuck because researching forever feels safer than choosing.  Grab your ☕coffee and your courage — and let's dive in!
