1953

I was named Francesca and then called Jenny. This confuses a lot of people.

1975

I graduated from Sussex University with a degree in Mathematics, with a side helping of Experimental Psychology.

1978-1991

I worked with computers, sitting hunched at a desk while engrossed in the work.

1980 ish

Fell down stairs, hurt my back, hobbled about, tried various things, a friend recommended Alexander Technique as a last resort. I stopped hobbling!

1992

I had a baby, didn't sleep for two years, realised my back was hurting again, and went back to the Alexander Technique as a first resort!

1999

Back to work with computers, stressed, developing RSI and back pain again.

2001

Another course of Alexander Technique, realising that what I really wanted to do was to to understand how it helped me, and to help others.

2005 - 2007

I trained at the Alexander Technique College of Sussex, becoming a qualified teacher registered with the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT) at the end of 2007, and gaining OCN accreditation in Alexander Technique.

Now

I teach from my home in central Brighton, and have also taught at the Ardingly International Music School (summers 2008, 2009). I am an assistant teacher at the Brighton Alexander Technique College.
