Melissa R. Mixon

Luxury Wellness Strategist, Skincare Curator, Wonder Lust Alchemist

Melissa is a licensed esthetician, luxury wellness strategist, and the visionary behind Glow & Escape — a brand that blends beauty, intention, and elevated travel into unforgettable experiences.

Before founding her brand, she spent her early years modeling across international destinations, immersing herself in the beauty, style, and cultures of the world. That global exposure shaped her signature eye for elegance, detail, and soulful living.

Later, as a traveling esthetician, Melissa brought her glow-touch to luxury spas, private retreats, and wellness spaces across the U.S. and abroad — including the iconic White Elephant Spa in Nantucket, where she worked hands-on with high-net-worth clients seeking elite, transformative skincare experiences.

Today, Glow & Escape is the natural evolution of her journey: a place where families, couples, and mindful travelers can explore the world through curated cruises, radiant wellness, and beauty that travels with them.

Her passion lives in two places:
DeLaRosa Aesthetics – for health, healing, and inner wellness
DeLaRosa Beauty – for skincare designed to glow with you, wherever you

Melissa believes that escape is a form of self-care — and when done with intention, it becomes an art form.
