A Transformative Tuscan Escape to Reset, Reconnect & Rediscover You.
The Hearts Behind La Rinascita Vitae
MELISSA EAVES
CO-FOUNDER & HOST
Melissa is the co-founder and host of La Rinascita Vitae, created from her love of Italy, meaningful travel and helping women reconnect with themselves.
With a background in business, leadership and people management, Melissa brings a warm, practical and down-to-earth approach to the retreat. She loves creating experiences that feel genuine, inspiring and beautifully unhurried — where women can pause, breathe and make space for what comes next.

CO-FOUNDER & alignment coach
director: selvara
In a world that constantly pulls us outward, it can be difficult to hear what’s true for ourselves. Sometimes we simply need space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.
Katie offers a calm, non-judgemental space for honest conversation and deeper self-inquiry.
Through grounded reflection, intuitive insight, and connection with the natural world, she supports people to find greater clarity, self-trust, and alignment in the way they live and choose.
Not to become someone new — but to reconnect with who they already are.

remedial massage therapist
DIPLOMA REMEDIAL MASSAGE & DIPLOMA EXERCISE & SPORTS SCIENCE.
Niki brings a warm, intuitive approach to remedial massage, with a genuine passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies and prioritise their wellbeing. With experience spanning corporate environments and her own private practice, she understands the importance of creating space to slow down, reset and feel your best.
Her particular interest in movement, recovery and sporting injuries brings an added dimension to her treatments, while her own love of Pilates and an active, balanced lifestyle means she truly lives the principles of self-care she encourages in others.
At La Rinascita Vitae, Niki creates a nurturing space to pause, release tension and reconnect — an opportunity to give your body the same care and attention you’re giving yourself throughout the retreat.
