Alexander Technique Jo Gaunce

Jo Gaunce Bmus(Hons) BA(Hons) ITM

Jo currently lives in Bristol with her partner. She is down-to-earth, fun, friendly and outgoing and has a caring nature. She believes in a student-focused approach to teaching in which the needs of the student are foremost. Her teaching style is completely professional and set within an informal and relaxed context.

Jo has been studying the Alexander Technique for almost 10 years since her first lesson in Cardiff with Tim Kjeldsen. She was trained by Don Weed, founder of the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM), who was trained by Marjorie Barstow, a pupil of F.M. Alexander himself. Since becoming a qualified teacher of the Alexander Technique, Jo has taught at the ITM Summer School in Cirencester and now teaches in both Cardiff and Bristol.

"Jo’s approach gives me a feeling that she is in control

of the situation; that she is competent and professional while using humour to help you relax”
