About Lex

Welcome to Spiritual U!


I am so grateful to have you here!
I am Lex.

I am the Founder & Creator of Spiritual U!

I am also a Meditation & Intuitive Guide, Energy Worker, Channeler, Aura Reader & Astrology Enthusiast.

I created Spiritual U for people like me and use my gifts and knowledge to help you overcome your baggage and guide you toward the life you truly want to build. A life of abundant love, money, happiness, and, most importantly, fulfillment!

“As soon as my friend first told me about Lex Smith and how amazing she is, I knew I wanted to work with her—but the actual experience far surpassed even my own high expectations! I scheduled a session with Lex because I was feeling very beat-down and discouraged by some professional challenges I'd been struggling with for months. Despite all the well-meaning, rational advice I'd gotten from others, it was Lex and only Lex who was able to lift my spirits and restore my faith.

After explaining that we are at the end of a 15-year Karmic cycle, Lex showed me that what felt like an ending was actually an opportunity for the creation of something better, something more aligned with my higher purpose. We talked a lot about my higher purpose, which was something Lex was able to intuitively perceive and validate in a way that was nothing short of life-changing.

In addition to clearing a very significant energy-block, Lex was able to guide me back to my own intuitive wisdom, to help me believe in myself again. (This is how you know someone is a truly great teacher, when they can guide you back to yourself!) She also provided incredible new insights into the strengths of my astrological chart—strengths I didn't know about before we talked, despite years of personal study.

As Lex moves seamlessly between card readings, astrological wisdom, and an almost-continuous channeling of her Spirit Guides, she radiates a very advanced level of spiritual wisdom. It is no exaggeration to say that, during our first session, Lex lifted me out of the darkness and back into the light. That is a gift beyond price. If you're ready to transform your life, book a session with Lex Smith immediately!"

Lex’s Story

My journey began after moving to Columbus, Ohio when I was 20 year’s old. I was running away from the trauma and stagnancy of being raised in a small town, an extraordinarily abusive relationship, and a community that never aligned with my identity. Expectations had been placed on me from a very young age. “Be perfect, be pretty, smile and never let them see you make a mistake,” was the constant reel running in my head.

My body was keeping the score, and by the time I was 22, I found a safe haven in yoga and finally found the community I had been so desperate for. While becoming trained in yoga, I also acquired my college degree in International Development at The Ohio State University where I studied international diplomacy, environmental and political sciences, globalization and economics.

Along the way, I fell into Marketing and Branding as both an employee and freelancer for tech startups, corporate fashion and retail, and small businesses. And by 2020, found my passion in teaching meditation and working with energy as a healing mechanism. My greatest journey thus far as been that of a spiritual entrepreneur.

My teachings focus on deep healing and connection with the mind-body and the divine. My four-pillar method helps my students reach healing. It helps them find their authenticity and cultivate a better life. And while I believe that “love and light” has its place in spirituality, I also believe that healing and awareness do not truly come about without deep shadow work and looking at the uncomfortable parts of ourselves.

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to manage the stress and trauma of the modern world. I want you to achieve a state of freedom in your authentic and highest self and help you stand in your divine power.

Outside of my professional career and business adventures, you will find me hanging out with my partner, Jeremy. We have been together for 13 years and have two crazy dogs named Stevie Nicks and Jack White. I love catching a good concert or music festival, gardening, painting, buying flowers, shopping on ETSY, hitting up farmer’s markets, lying in the sun, and finding time to travel to at least one new place every year.

“Lex’s mission is clear: to make Spiritual U the go-to institution for spiritual growth, education, and research. Her vision extends beyond personal transformation, aiming to address patriarchy and systemic injustice. By offering a space for cultural leaders to teach their spiritual practices, she ensures authenticity and respect for diverse traditions.”
