Jen combined her formative years as a classical ballet student and amateur performer with undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy study, which led to her focus on dance injury management, education and injury prevention. As a long-standing member of the International Association for Dance Medicine & Science, Jen keeps up to date with current research in dance medicine.

Jen works with junior dancers through their developmental years, as well as tertiary students and professional performers, providing conditioning programs where clinically appropriate, along with rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies tailored to each dancer.

Her other dance-related work includes assessing for the Cecchetti Method teaching qualification, lecturing for the Royal Academy of Dance (SA Chapter), lecturing in anatomy for Certificates II, III and IV in Dance, and guest Pilates instruction for the Royal Academy of Dance.
