Megan Baker House Staff

When I first visited Megan baker House in 2006 I had only heard of conductive education once before - 'The' Panorama programme in the 1980's. I was working at Worcester Cathedral as the fund raising manager for the Cathedral and the Music and Light Appeal, a position which I had no intention of leaving. However, Jo asked me to come and work for her as the fund raising manager and I have never looked back. Every day brings a new story - seeing children who had been given little or no hope of ever being able to sit-up, let alone feed or toilet themselves, doing all of these things and taking steps on legs which were not expected to be able to support the child.

Following Jo's departure in September, the Trustees asked me to take over as Chief Executive - a role which I was delighted to accept.

I live in Malvern with my husband John and my youngest daughter, Minty and our dog Beth. I have two other children and two delightful grand-children. I enjoy walking, running (I ran the Great North Run for MBH in 2007) and am a founder member of Worcester Vigornia Rotary Club.

I joined Megan Baker House some 18 months ago as an administrator and am also the current volunteer co-ordinator. Having worked in a family sign business for some fifteen years prior to Megan Baker, I thoroughly enjoy the difference in working for a charity and seeing such a worthwhile end result in the improvement of the skills of our participants.

I graduated as a conductor-teacher in 1999 at the Peto Institute, as a sociologist in 2005 at Eotvos Lorand University. I have been working at Megan Baker House as a conductor since April 2007 as a lead-conductor for one year. I am responsible to lead the CE services and constantly evaluate its quality. Due to my professional experience and my Mentoring and Coaching studies at Wolverhampton University I mentor the junior conductors.
My primary aim and role is to increase the efficiency of the treatment to make our work more successful.

I qualified from the National Institute of Conductive Education (Wolverhampton University) in 2006, but have been working with people with disabilities for the past 10 years.
I have been employed at Megan Baker House for almost 3 years. My responsibilities include planning and delivering Conductive Education programmes in various groups, writing documentation and supporting parents, other conductors and the classroom assistants. One of my specific roles is the running of the Parkinson's services at the centre.

I graduated from Wolverhampton University and the National Institute of Conductive Education in Birmingham in 2008. Having graduated I decided to move back to Herefordshire and began work at Megan Baker House in June 2008, having been involved in the centre since 2004. My role is a Conductor which includes planning and leading sessions, writing documentation for those groups I am group leader for and supporting the other members of the team.

I graduated from the Peto Institute in 2008. Since I qualified I have worked in Germany and Spain and started working at Megan Baker House in March 2010 as a Conductor. Outside of work I enjoy cooking and walking in the countryside.
