Multi-award-winning dental hygienist, opinion leader, coach and founder of SKE. She has spent her career pushing the profession to be better every day and built an institute to teach it.
Siobhan qualified as a dental hygienist and never stopped learning. A masters in coaching and a postgraduate diploma in positive health later, she’d become an opinion leader and clinical support specialist working with leading dental companies – presenting nationally and internationally, and contributing to industry-leading publications.
Along the way she noticed the same gap she’d once felt herself: brilliant clinical training, and almost nothing about the human skills that make it land. SKE is her answer – where oral-health science, positive health and coaching finally sit in one place.
