Jenny Brown's career in childcare began in the Community Development Early Years sector, with later involvement in Home/School Support Services for primary school aged children and their families. Combining this background with training in holistic therapies, energy healing and meditation she later worked in a Glasgow inner-city stress centre where these techniques were used in local schools. She also trained as a counsellor for Childline Scotland. When working directly with individual children Jenny often used books and storytelling as tools, allowing children to explore their own fears and worries whilst reassuring and helping them in dealing with difficult situations.
