This program, coordinated by Nelsons and approved by the Bach Centre (UK), was the first of its kind. It brought together trainers and coordinators from around the world, from as far away as Sweden, France, Brazil, Argentina, Denmark, Spain, Holland, New Zealand, Belgium, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Venezuela and Japan.
Nancy developed and led this program, training this group of international practitioner-teachers to teach a Level 3 Practitioner Training. Many of these trainers later went on to become the Education Coordinators within their home countries.

Up til 2005, the Bach International Education Program courses were organized by Nelsons, US. In 2005, Nelsons decided to stop running programs and Nancy took over education as an independent entity. She founded Bach Flower Education in 2005, which coordinated the Bach Centre approved programs in North America.
In 2009, Nancy developed the first online learning courses for Bach Flower Education. Since that time, she has been at the forefront of online education for the Bach flower remedies. Technology has changed greatly over the years and we're always excited to be learning more to make your online learning a valuable experience!

In response to the global pandemic in 2020, Bach Flower Education became fully independent in order to continue offering all three levels of practitioner training to students worldwide. This transition also marked the expansion of programs through the Bach Flower Institute.
Today, you can learn Dr. Bach's system through our Bach Flower Education Program.
We teach his work in its true and original form,
supported by decades of practitioner and teaching experience.
Our organization stands independent of all essence manufacturers,
representing solely Dr. Bach’s healing system and philosophy.
