About The Personal Development School

Nobody goes through life without experiencing their fair share of emotional and relationship challenges. However, many of us are taught to bottle up our issues, blame ourselves, or express ourselves with unhealthy coping mechanisms – and the one way to heal ourselves is through expensive and time-consuming therapy or self-development courses.

That's where The Personal Development School comes in.

Our mission is to provide individuals with a more accessible, and more efficient way to heal themselves. Our affordable, science-based online programs are available 24/7, anywhere and are led with compassion, delivering real, life-changing results.

You'll get access to 65+ courses with step-by-step instructions that cultivate self-confidence and self-love while reprogramming your core beliefs and wounds. With our supportive community and coaches, you'll create and embrace long-lasting and strong relationships with romantic partners, friends, and family. We have a team of counselors and coaches that lead peer support groups and daily events.

In as little as 10 minutes a day, you can learn the skills and techniques to heal your behavioral patterns, transform your outlook, and create the life you want. It's the single best choice that you can make in yourself.

You deserve better than “just figure it out.”

— Thais Gibson, Founder

Most of us were never taught how to handle our emotions, heal old wounds, or build truly secure relationships. Instead, we were told to push through, move on, or seek help that’s out of reach — whether that’s years of therapy or expensive self-help programs that never quite deliver.

The Personal Development School exists because there’s a better way. Our science-backed programs give you the tools, community, and expert guidance to heal your patterns, transform your relationships, and build a life that actually feels good — in as little as 10 minutes a day.

With 70+ courses, live group sessions, and a global community of members on the same journey, you’re never doing this alone.

Where We Started and Why It Matters

2019

Founded by Thais Gibson and Gio Bartolomeo with a single conviction — healing shouldn’t be a privilege.

2021

Launched the IAT™ Certification to create a dedicated training pathway for the next generation of attachment-informed coaches.

2023

Reached 50,000 students across 145+ countries and grew a community of 8,000+ students.

2026

Continues growing as a global movement, supporting 70,000+ students with 70+ courses and diverse learning experiences.

The Personal Development School was founded in 2019 by Thais Gibson and Gio Bartolomeo with a single conviction: healing shouldn’t be a privilege. Too many people were caught in repeating cycles of pain — not because they weren’t trying, but because they had never been given the right tools.

For Thais, the mission was deeply personal. After years of struggling with low self-worth, addiction, and difficult relationships, she discovered the transformative power of the subconscious mind — and used it to rewrite her own story. That experience became the foundation for Personal Development School today.

Together, Thais and Gio built a platform that brings attachment science, subconscious reprogramming, and behavioral psychology to anyone ready to do the work — without barriers of cost, geography, or time. This mission continues to guide everything Personal Development School offers.
