Inside the Wellness Practices of The Line Method’s Founder, Eva Melchiorre

When you step into The Line Method – a boutique fitness oasis in Washington, D.C. – it’s immediately clear that this is not your typical sweaty gym. Wellness is at the heart of everything. At the helm of this innovative studio is Eva Melchiorre, a health and wellness entrepreneur dedicated to transforming the way people approach fitness. But how does Eva herself maintain balance and stay grounded while managing a thriving business?  

Learn about Eva’s wellness routine and her intentional and holistic approach to wellness. 

Mornings Start with Mind and Body  

Eva’s mornings are sacred. She begins each day carving out time to read her favorite fiction books—a ritual that not only allows her to escape into another world but also sets a calm and grounded tone for the day. 

She follows this quiet time with a brief but effective self-care practice: a daily face massage. Using gentle techniques, she improves circulation and creates a moment of mindfulness before heading into the rest of her day. 

“I start each day with the mantra – my mind is my own until 8:00am. Before then, I don’t look at my phone, check emails, or open my laptop. It’s my way of centering myself before diving into the demands of the studio,” Eva shared.  

Daily Movement for Resilience  

As an advocate of consistent movement, Eva dedicates at least 20 minutes daily to exercise. Whether it’s strength-focused Pilates, stability exercises, or a restorative mobility session, her goal is to stay ahead of the aches and imbalances that can come with having a hypermobility disorder.  

“Small, consistent efforts are more impactful than sporadic, intense workouts,” Eva explained. This philosophy mirrors what The Line Method offers its clients—intentional, tailored movement that works with the body, not against it.  

Managing Inflammation with Cutting-Edge Techniques  

To combat inflammation and enhance recovery, Eva incorporates red light therapy and cold showers into her routine. The red light therapy boosts cellular repair and improves circulation, while the cold showers reduce inflammation and provide a mental reset. She spends up to 40 minutes a day using her red light device and incorporates cold showers 2 – 3 times per week. 

“I hate the cold so it’s truly a testament to how much benefit I get out of a cold shower that I continue to inflict them on myself” Eva admitted with a laugh. “But the benefits I feel in terms of reducing my chronic pain and inflammation have been palpable, so I’ll deal with it.”

A Holistic Approach to Wellness  

Eva’s wellness practices extend beyond physical health. Her routine is a reflection of her belief in creating harmony between the body, mind, and emotions. From her dedication to morning reading to her intentional movement practices, she embodies the philosophy behind The Line Method: small, deliberate actions that lead to lasting results.  

When asked what advice she’d give to someone looking to improve their wellness, Eva said, “Start simple and build from there. Find practices that fit naturally into your life. Wellness shouldn’t feel like a chore—it’s a way to honor your body and mind every day.”  

It’s clear that Eva Melchiorre lives and breathes the principles she teaches. Her personal wellness journey is not only inspiring but also a reminder that with intention and consistency, anyone can create meaningful change in their lives.
