About

Jen is a performance coach, musician, recorder teacher, and fully qualified and registered Alexander Technique teacher.

She has a particular interest in working with stage fright issues, and has run courses at the Folk House on conquering performance anxiety with great success. Jen teaches Alexander Technique at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
