THE BACH CENTRE - Key Persons
Angela studied the remedies at the Centre in 1995, and two years later came back to start her teacher-training, qualifying in 1998.
Since then she has taught the system in the UK, France, Greece and India, where she is the main trainer working to bring Bach Centre-approved Level 1, 2 and 3 courses to the sub-continent.
Angela's work has included local practitioner support in the UK, where her experiences with a peer-support group in Kent led to the creation of Bach Centre guidelines on best practice in this area. She currently teaches the Bach Centre's Level 1 and Level 2 courses at Mount Vernon, as well as her own programmes around the south-east of England, and in 2019 became a trainer of trainers.

George joined the Bach Centre in 2018 after gaining a Bsc Honours degree in Business and Marketing. He built and maintains the new website and is our in-house technology expert. George also attends conferences where he shares new Bach Centre developments, information about the website and any future plans.
After completing the Level 1 and Level 2 Bach Centre courses, George is now preparing for his Level 3 course and has an ambition to continue his education onto one of our BFRP Teacher Training courses.
George is originally from the northern city of Burnley in Lancashire, but moved to Oxfordshire in 2018 after graduating. He has since lived locally with Fay and their daughter and enjoys a round of golf on a sunny afternoon at the local courses with Sam and friends.
