Ashley Pfohler

Administrative Assistant

Ashley was born and raised right here in Sarasota, Florida. During her elementary and middles school years, she participated in Classical Ballet, Jazz and Modern dance for 7 years at the Sarasota Ballet of Florida institute. During high school, she continued her involvement with the arts and participated in the Visual Arts Program for four years where she studied fine art. In 2005 she attended the Sarasota School for Massage Therapy and became a Licensed Massage Therapist. In 2007 she traveled to Thailand to expand her love for massage therapy and gained insight to Thai Massage therapy techniques.

Ashley began working for the IBA in 2003 when she was only 19. She had never heard of BodyTalk and had little understanding about alternative energy medicine. Her first BodyTalk session was from John and she recalls, after her initial session, calling her mother and just raving to her about how amazing the session was and how great she felt. Shortly after her first session, she attended Module 1&2 and that’s when she says that everything came together for her, she felt that she was destined to be part of the matrix.

Many of you know Ashley as the voice you hear when you call into the IBA. Over the years, she has cross trained in many areas of the office; however, her primary role is that of an Administrative Assistant/Receptionist. Within this role, her primary responsibilities include, handling Instructor Application processing (BAT, CBI, BrThr, MS, AdvCBI, SrCBI Etc), processing registrations for seminars, and responding to related emails. She also assists in coordinating seminars for John and Esther Veltheim, learning forums, conferences and other IBA functions. She also serve as backup in shipping and invoicing.
