Hello, I am Virginia.

My playground is the Mediterranean: a beach, a paddleboard, a meeting room turned into a studio for the length of a session. That is where Waves of Wellness began, and it still runs through everything I lead today.

I trained in breathing and in functional nutrition, then in yoga and Pilates, and I am now a certified Blue Therapy speaker: I talk about the effects of water environments on health drawing on documented research, not on impressions.

I work with two audiences that have little in common. A company calls me for a workplace wellbeing workshop, a team building day or a talk: there is a time slot, a venue and a headcount to respect, and people should leave with something they can use again the next day. Someone booking a Paddle Yoga session is after something else: an hour and a half for herself, in a small group, with no need to be sporty to have her place there. The content is the same, only the setting changes.

What I do not do: promise a transformation, push a posture on someone who does not want it, or let a group leave without knowing what to practise on their own. Every session ends with simple things (breathing, moving, eating well) that you can pick up the very next day, at the office or at home.

I work in French and in English, in Marseille, across the region and by video call. For anything else, the simplest thing is to write to me at virginia@virginiaphilippe.com.
