The founder of The School of Intuitive Studies, she has been helping people develop intuition and experience personal transformation for over two decades.

You’re Just Highly Sensitive with Alexandria Thibodeaux   Alexandria Thibodeaux spent the early part of her life wondering why she was deeply unsatisfied, suffering mentally, and unable to find a job that she could keep. Her introduction to Dr. Elaine Aron’s book, The Highly Sensitive Person, put everything into perspective and sparked a healing journey that would lead her to guide others to an understanding of this trait and give them the tools needed to function well in the world.   This knowledge, along with a discovery that her family had hidden her Black ancestry from her, sparked an “identity rebirth and cultural renaissance” that gave Alexandria the curiosity and fearlessness to step out into the world as her truest self.   Bio: Hello there! My name is Alexandria Thibodeaux! I am a highly sensitive Creole living amongst the Rocky Mountains of Denver, CO with my husband and our 3 animal companions: Zuni & Theo (our cats) and Herman (our dog).   I serve as a self-relationship coach, speaker, and writer who helps highly sensitive persons (HSPs), survivors of emotional abuse, and self-motivated individuals navigate life from a place of self-acceptance and operate via fierce intuition, unwavering self-respect, and complete authenticity!
