Melissa specializes in therapeutic arts as a painter, photographer and dancer, trusting in the transformative power of these to learn, grow & heal.
She passionately weaves a holistic approach to her art and translates her personal discoveries by guiding, inspiring and empowering people. Her art reflects a belief that self-expression is a must in life and can create positive shifts for one’s self that can ripple out into society. "My vision is for the beneficial impact of The Unleashed Project to ripple out, into the world, through the relationship with ourselves and with each other, because when we come from a place of love and acceptance then we can truly be ourselves — UNLEASHED!" ~ Melissa Vlahos~ COLLABORATIONS
