Welcome to Write, Heal, Thrive (WHT), a brand, business, and platform founded by author and speaker Melissa B. Lombardo. WHT is dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey toward healing, resilience, and well-being. Through uplifting books, reflective journals, inspiring handmade accessories, and dynamic workshops, we provide tools to support personal and professional growth.
Our creative workshops, collaborative projects, and customized resources foster a supportive community, guiding individuals and teams from hurt to hope.

Through consulting, we help individuals and teams navigate change, fostering resilience and adaptability in both personal and professional spaces.
Founded by author, speaker, and business consultant Melissa B. Lombardo, Write, Heal, Thrive was born from her personal journey through trauma and the silence surrounding sexual violence. With the support of friends and family, she found strength in vulnerability and began sharing her story to inspire others to heal. Today, her work extends to supporting individuals and groups through literature, workshops, and collaborations that foster both personal and collective healing.
Melissa’s vision is that every reader, listener, and participant find hope, courage, and empowerment to heal and thrive. Her key publication, Hurt, Healing, and Hope: Thriving Beyond Sexual Assault, encourages survivors to take their own steps toward healing or support others on that path.
In Melissa’s words: “Writing helped me heal, and through healing, I moved from hope into thriving. Write, Heal, Thrive is a socially responsible brand and business dedicated to illuminating pathways to healing, growth, and resilience. We empower individuals and organizations to see what’s truly possible, bringing their goals and well-being within reach.”
Through compassionate guidance and meaningful resources, Write, Heal, Thrive inspires journeys from potential to reality.
