Frequently Asked Questions

What courses have you taken?

Hygienists transitioning into myofunctional therapy frequently ask me which classes I have taken over the years. I recommend that new therapists take the MyoMentor course followed by the Business of Myo course as a step1 & step 2. Then find courses that help them to be able to better serve the patients that they have in front of them by taking courses that answer questions that they are posed with. Here are many of the classes that I have taken & instructors I have taken them with:
