Why Choose MyoMentor For Your Myofunctional Therapy Training?

At MyoMentor, we provide more than just myofunctional therapy training; we offer a uniquely comprehensive approach to myo.

Our program focuses on the most up-to-date instruction, group collaboration, and continuous support, ensuring you build confidence and competence in your new skills. You'll be prepared to step into the real world of airway medicine and apply your knowledge effectively.

In fact, many MyoMentor graduates start working with patients as myofunctional therapists immediately after completing the program.

Our 12-week course is designed to accommodate everyone, from beginners with no background in myofunctional therapy to seasoned professionals looking to enhance their skills.

We get so much great feedback, often described as career-changing, even from those already working in the field, who tell us that our course helps them connect the dots and take their practice to a new level.

So, what makes MyoMentor different?

MyoMentor pioneered online myofunctional therapy training starting in 2014, so we’ve been doing it for a long time, and we’ve learned how to make it very effective.

Our 12-week course features a structured format with weekly sessions, allowing you to thoroughly absorb and apply each week's topic before progressing. Additionally, our discussion sessions are designed to address your specific questions and concerns, ensuring a deep understanding of the material.

The field of myofunctional therapy is growing and changing so fast, and we believe it’s essential to learn the most up-to-date techniques.

The 12-week course changes often because Sarah constantly updates the curriculum based on new research, protocols, and techniques.

All the course sessions are held live, so you'll never be left to work through pre-recorded lectures to learn on your own. True learning involves accountability and support, and that's why Sarah is there for the students twice a week. Our course structure means you'll be guided to the most optimal learning outcomes and future success. 

Many myo training organizations teach a lot of exercises, but over the years, Sarah's found that patients respond better to a much simpler treatment approach, with higher patient compliance and excellent results (and increased peace of mind for the therapist).

It’s a really practical and effective approach to myo, and it seems to work well in the real world.

For example, here’s a testimonial from a grad:

"I had my first day of seeing myofunctional patients today. I had five patients scheduled for consults, and I converted all five into treatment. To summarize, my day was absolutely amazing!

I feel like I can help them improve their quality of life!!

I used your exam sheet and felt like it helped the appointment flow. I documented with photos and used the Range of Motion scale you recommended for tongue function. I used your template for treatment modality and felt confident walking patients through the process. I found compensations in all of the patients and helped them be aware of it.

I am so excited to start this journey and help patients find relief!!!”

And here’s another testimonial from a grad:

"My investment in this course went beyond my expectations - as a pediatric dentist, myofunctional therapy is something I had minimal education in dental school and residency. I knew I needed to learn more within a convenient, accessible, research-based learning environment. 

Sarah's online course has clear objectives and the experience and research to back them up. I appreciated Sarah's commitment to scientific research-based practices, which she is continually updating in her program. MyoMentor offers volumes of videos of actual myofunctional patient sessions to watch - which I found most helpful to understand the exercises better and how they interface with patient care.

She has tailored the course to be for the working professional and I found the timeline and content for learning manageable as a working mom of 2! Every healthcare professional that interacts with a patients' airway should have this course as a foundation to better serve their patients overall health and wellbeing."

Sarah also focuses very carefully on teaching precision of execution, ensuring patients are doing the exercises correctly with no compensations, and this makes a huge difference in terms of treatment outcomes.
