Virginia Chaplin,
Certified Rolfer ™
|
Virginia’s path to Rolfing includes many rich life experiences in addition to her diverse background in human health. Growing up as a young athlete in South Carolina, she learned first-hand what it takes to keep a body healthy and strong during her days of highly competitive cross-country running, marathoning, and triathaloning.
After obtaining a B.A. in Spanish, Virginia spent time in Mexico working in a medical clinic. It was this experience coupled with her strong interest in health that influenced her to dedicate her career to healthcare. She went on to obtain a B.S. in Nursing and spent time working as a bilingual Registered Nurse in both hospital and home-care settings.
After seeing that the idea of “wellness” included more than just what the health-care system included, Virginia spent 6 years immersing herself in a more holistic approach to wellness, which included daily practice of Ashtanga/Interdisciplinary yoga, high-intensity cross-training exercise, and education in nutrition, cleansing, and food preparation as well as receiving regular Rolfing sessions. After years of dedicated practice, she received her yoga teacher certification in 2004 and went on to work and teach classes at the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica, while enjoying surfing the adventurous waves there for several seasons.
Upon returning to the U.S., Virginia decided that Rolfing would be the perfect way to integrate all that she had come to learn about health and the body, and she began her training at The Rolf Institue in Boulder, CO in 2007. During her extensive training, and since her graduation, she has studied with some of the most premier Rolfing instructors in the country, learning from the most traditional to the most innovative theories and techniques. Along with growing her Rolfing practice, Virginia has continued her pursuits in high-level cross-training fitness, studying several different styles of yoga, and most recently, road-biking all over Colorado’s local beauty.
