Brita Moeller

The Pad Studios — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 05:37:11 +0000

Since learning to ski at age 4, Brita has been an avid athlete throughout her life. Golf, tennis, hiking, swimming and triathlons are some of her favorite sports and a big reason why she relocated to San Francisco from New York City. Brita has been practicing Pilates regularly since 2008, after a doctor recommended she try it to ease her chronic joint and back pain. One session on the reformer provided such relief that she was able to play 18 holes of golf the following day. With a desire to help others find their best body, Brita completed her teacher training with Lara Hudson at Mercury Fitness High Performance Pilates in 2010. She is currently a Junior Instructor at The Pad Studios. Brita’s background includes working closely with professional golfers and Olympic athletes during her career in sports television. With an MBA from Thunderbird, Brita has spent the last 8 years coaching and advising founders of companies and C-level executives. In her teaching, Brita is continuously amazed at how Pilates transforms the body and increases performance in other sports and daily activities.

Ashley Burnett

The Pad Studios — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 05:25:58 +0000

Ashley Burnett has a deep understanding and love for the human body. She believes that in order for us to function at our peak efficiency and live healthy lives, we must keep our bodies “toned and tuned” by giving ourselves the appropriate attention we deserve. The healing and relaxing qualities of massage help us to achieve these goals. Specializing in Deep Tissue, Swedish, Pregnancy, and Shiatsu modalities of bodywork, she also focuses on breath awareness as well as grounding and centering energy during her sessions. Ashley received her training in 2005 from the World School of Massage in San Francisco. In addition to her massage practice, Ashley is a professional modern dancer in SF, and holds a BFA in Dance Performance from the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign. Influenced by movement, she compassionately brings to her practice a strong kinetic awareness, which allows her to customize the massage to each clients specific needs.
