Who's Who at Mount Vernon

Kathy Nicholson

Kathy is the person most likely to pick up the phone when you call the Bach Centre. She is a veteran of the days when the mother tinctures were all bottled for sale in a shed at the back of the house and for a time she moved to Abingdon when the bottling operations moved there.

Now she is the receptionist and main administrative person at the Centre. As well as answering the phones she shows visitors around and runs the little shop at the back. She is also a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner and gives advice to callers over the phone.

Kathy has a grown up son called David and lives a few miles away in the village of Shillingford.

June King

June joined the Bach Centre's team in 1999. She works closely with Kathy helping to sort out the mail order service and giving advice to callers by phone.

June has two grown up children and two grandchildren. She lives not too far from the Centre in the village of Harwell.

Judy Ramsell Howard

Judy is the head of the Bach Centre. A trained nurse, health visitor and midwife, she has been at the Bach Centre since the mid-eighties, when her father John Ramsell asked her to come and help run the Centre. She pioneered the first practitioner courses in the early 1990s and has been involved in just about every aspect of the Centre's work. She is a trustee of the Dr Edward Bach Healing Trust and was personally trained by John in the making of mother tinctures.

Judy has written several books on the remedies. She has two children, Sam and Fay, and lives in Warborough, about two miles from the Centre.

Stefan Ball

Stefan started full time work at the Centre in 1996. He will be known to many as the male voice on the "Getting to Know the Bach Flower Remedies" cassette.

Stefan has written several books on the remedies. He teaches and oversees marking standards for the whole of the international education programme. He also runs the computers - including writing and HTML-ing these web pages.

Stefan lives a mile away in Wallingford, and has three children: Alexandra, Madeleine, and Ethan.

Peter Warren

Peter is a director of Bach Visitor & Education Centre Ltd, the company that runs the day-to-day activities of the Centre. Together with his wife Sheila he takes charge of many of the 'back office' functions such as accounts, invoices and so on.

Emma Broad

Emma is the gardener at the Bach Centre, responsible for keeping the garden tidy and not at all neat! She has a keen interest in wildlife gardening, and before coming to Mount Vernon in 2003 she worked for the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust, one of the main wildlife and nature conservation oranisations in this part of England. She is a fund of knowledge about the flowers and the garden, and always willing to show a visitor around and point out the remedy plants.

Keith Howard

Keith is married to Judy. He is involved in overseeing the preparation of the mother tinctures and in spring and summer goes out regularly to keep an eye on the plants so that the mother tinctures can be prepared when the flowers are at their best.
