The Founders
Colleen Ferguson and Andy Maser founded EMS Body Atelier as a family business rooted in community. Colleen, a ballet dancer and graduate of Westmont College, began teaching Pilates in Santa Barbara in 2009 and went on to open Atwill Pilates in 2018, where she built a reputation for her thoughtful approach to Classical Pilates. Her own postpartum journey introduced her to EMS training, and the results were profound. Inspired by that experience, she saw the opportunity to bring EMS to Santa Barbara. Andy is an Emmy Award–winning documentary and commercial filmmaker, as well as a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast. His creative vision and passion for movement complement Colleen’s expertise, making EMS Body Atelier both a professional and deeply personal venture. Together, Colleen and Andy live in Santa Barbara with their two young children, where they surf, swim, practice Pilates, and share a love of health and movement in everyday life. EMS Body Atelier is the natural extension of their values: intentional, efficient, and innovative training designed for the community they call home.
