Your Key Course Takeaways
Earn More Money
You'll learn practical techniques that you can immediately start to implement in your practice. This knowledge will help you see more patients, build better networks, and scale your practice so that you can earn the income you need for the life you want to live.
Offer Exceptional Service
With a carefully-considered business plan, you'll understand what needs to be done to take your practice to the next level, and you'll have the tools, techniques, and targets to deliver the kind of healthcare that changes lives and makes a real impact.

Your Presenters and Host
Melissa Mugno
Course Presenter
Melissa is a pioneer within the modern myofunctional and airway-focused movement. Since being introduced to alternative orthodontic systems and appliances in 2009, she has never looked back.
Â
Spending the first part of her career educating and training patients and staff in the offices she was directing, it became clear that there was work to be done in advancing the functional airway movement.
Â
She decided to leave her role in private practice and began the journey of becoming a myofunctional therapist in 2013. Her passion for patient and provider education has allowed her to lecture around the country, bringing her high energy and drive to the field.
Â
Dave Henrichsen, RDH
Course Presenter
Three years of leading Myomentor newbie study clubs, building the Seattle Myo Study club, and coaching new myofunctional therapists has brought Dave a deep understanding of the challenges new therapists face. His experience building a thriving myo practice - first in a dental practice, then transitioning to an independent, stand-alone business enables him to be not only an example of success but also one who has fought through the challenges of small business ownership.
He will walk you through the challenges of building your own myo practice by breaking the complicated work down into small manageable, and achievable steps. One of Dave’s superpowers is taking complex ideas and making them simple and easy to understand.

Sarah Hornsby
Course Host
Sarah is a myofunctional therapist, educator, and internationally recognized speaker from Carefree, Arizona.
Over the past decade, her practice, Faceology, has transformed from an in-person, conventional myofunctional therapy clinic to an all-online telehealth practice employing multiple therapists.
She created MyoMentor in 2015 to train and mentor healthcare professionals who want to integrate myofunctional therapy into their practices. Over 1,100 professionals have graduated from her program since then.
