Melisa Western
Melisa Western Artist in Residence at She Served AU - She Spoke in Silence
Melisa is a NDIS-accredited art therapist and a certified trauma-informed coach, supporting individuals to reconnect with themselves through creative process.
Her approach recognises art as both expression and restoration —
a way to externalise what words often cannot hold.
Melisa brings together lived experience, professional training, and intuitive creativity to create safe, respectful spaces where people can explore, process, and rebuild.
Her work honours each person’s pace, autonomy, and story, with creativity as the bridge between healing and self-empowerment.
