I have been working with Alexis for almost 2 years now. I am extremely grateful for having this opportunity to experience the gift of not only feeling seen but also, having a more intimate understanding of myself, my opportunities for growth and understanding my needs and desires better. Me along with my girlfriend, have been able to navigate really challenging situations. I am constantly amazed at the number of areas that that I've uncovered during my sessions, where I've been showing up a certain way in my relationship, because of my past experiences, all the way to my childhood. This has also been a very healing process for me over the last couple of years. I am able to see so many wounds from my past and how it is affecting my actions and in turn, my experience. As a result, my relationship with my girlfriend is also getting so exciting and enjoyable. I am also seeing this affect other areas of my life as well. I am so grateful for this. If you ever get a chance to work with Alexis, I'd say, you're very lucky! read more

Alexis is a joy. Powerful. Nurturing. I first experienced her ability as a facilitator through a workshop I took about my dynamics with women. This is a woman who knew how to point out things about me... things that I had never seen. Things that were very hard to see. She gave me very specific feedback that I took to heart, put into action, and have seen very specific results around my relationships with women. Often so tough for us as people to look into the mirror and really see things that we'd rather not. We all do is in our own ways and when we are ready. And if you are ready to understand how the women or men in your life experience you--especially in intimate relationship with partners or spouses--then sign on the dotted line. And get ready for a ride!!! read more

I have experienced Alexis Shepperd both as a coaching trainer and a coach and my experiences with her have been only positive. I completed the Transformational Leadership and Coaching Training with her and Guy Sengstock in 2008 and it has had an enormous and greatly beneficial impact on my life. In private coaching with her I was amazed by the accuracy of her intuition and her deeply nurturing ability to hold space. I felt totally seen and understood by her and it gave me the ability to move through immense blocks and get to grips with my life in a grounded and practical manner. read more

Alexis is an extraordinarily gifted professional dedicated to helping men and women experience floursihing relationships in all areas of their lives. She has greatly influenced my personal transformation through her wisdom, insight, compassion and dedication to my growth and happiness. My work with her has been significant and inspiring.

I highly recommend Dr. Alexis Shepperd! read more

She has helped me broaden my perspective in ways that are spilling over to all areas of my life. I would recommend anyone wanting to seriously take it to the next level-- whatever that may be-- to work with Alexis. read more

My life has changed for the better since I've known Alexis, and I absolutely cherish the time I have worked with her. Since she has been such an amazingly bright light in my life, I will provide my own experience of Alexis as a professional. And I note that this review was in no way solicited by Alexis. Alexis is one of the most gentle and intuitive souls I have ever met, hands down. The idea that she might intimidate or scare someone is really just laughable. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting her, you'll see what I mean - her sweetness, her empathy, and her uncanny love for people shine like spotlights. Alexis has an incredibly deep understanding of people and their process. From the moment I met Alexis, I knew that she was observing me far below the surface. I suppose someone might consider that intimidating - particularly if you don't want to be seen for who you are. I found it exhilarating. Why work with a coach who can't see who you are? A good coach can make guesses about what's going for clients. An amazing coach has an immediate understanding of what's going on, and because they see their clients, they know exactly how to approach the issues for maximum effect. I place Alexis in the latter category. She knows exactly what's going on for me, and she knows exactly how to address it. My life and my business move forward when we work together. I'm proud to say that I have worked with Alexis, and that she's an extraordinary talent. If you are looking for a personal coach, I highly and without reservation recommend Alexis Shepperd. You will not be disappointed. read more

Alexis came into my life about a year and a half ago when I took the AWE weekend with her and her co-coach Shana James. (AWE stands for Authentic Women Experience. This was a life-changing program for me.) I'm a woman who had often considered herself a "master dater." I'd been dating for years, had several boyfriends and was asked out on a regular basis. I was not having trouble finding new men to date which was often a main complaint for many of my friends. What was difficult, however was sustaining an authentic relationship with a man since I hit my thirties. From the outside, I was doing and saying all the right things. It took working with these two fabulous AWE coaches for me to look inward and realize I had made dating into a business. I had focused all my energy on the men I was dating and was not completely present with me. While doing personal coaching with Alexis, I came to realize I was "thinking" my way through relationships rather than allowing myself to "feel" in them. I came to realize how my break-ups in my younger years had set up a force field that would never allow me to be hurt again. The problem was that this force field wasn't allowing me to find love again either. Alexis was incredibly gifted in the way she dealt with me. I tried to chitchat and justify my way through our sessions and she continually stopped me and guided me to go deep. When Alexis looks at you, you know she is seeing you. You can't hide and there is something so life-affirming about that. I wholeheartedly endorse Alexis as a life coach. Call her up and just talk to her on the phone. (You don't even need to talk to her in person to realize how perceptive, caring and intuitive she is. She really listens to you when you talk.) By the way, I'm getting married this year and I'm quite clear that my time with my AWE coaches, Alexis and Shana were what got me moving in the right direction. Go see for yourself. You won't regret it. read more

In whatever aspect of your life you're looking for change, Alexis is highly skilled at asking the right questions and making the right observations that will lead you to find your own answers and chart your course. read more

Essentially Alexis is one of the best relationship coaches I've known. A true master of depth and authenticity.

Working with Alexis was a profound gift that allowed me to get to the bottom of what the real feelings were surrounding things that I have struggled with most of my life. Alexis was able to draw parallels and observe things during our sessions to draw insightful conclusions that immediately reframed my thinking and understanding of how past trauma in my life was manifesting now. Alexis was so insightful, kind, patient and intuitive. I have talked to many people in my life looking for something deeper, and I was able to find that in Alexis finally. She helped me immensely and gave me the courage to confront things in my life that were giving me a lot of emotional turmoil. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone seeking transformation in their life or insight into something that they may not even realize is there. read more

Dr. Alexis is intuitive, positive, and supportive. Unlike some life coaches I've known or heard about, she's much more than a cheerleader: she'll help you evaluate and refine your goals and will work with you to develop the tools to monitor your progress, She's also a great listener and is genuinely interested in understanding what your dreams and challenges are all about. But she doesn't confine her participation to listening; she participates in an ongoing discussion with you and, in a very real sense, she accompanies you on your journey toward achievement. And don't let her young appearance fool you; she's very wise. read more

I've been working with Alexis for a year and a half now and find her to be a truly remarkable therapist/coach. Before I started working with Alexis I was having a lot of health problems and my frustration around that would frequently send me in an emotional downward spiral making everything worse. I also, for as long as I can remember, had been quite anxious/shy in certain social situations. With Alexis' help I have seen a great shift in these two areas. I feel socially more at ease than I ever have before. I'm having more fun and I feel so much freer and more like myself. And my outlook around my health is completely different. I've gone from feeling worried and hopeless to calm and inspired. When health problems do flare up I'm no longer afraid and my overall sense of 'suffering' is gone. I feel very excited about my future. What's more, as a result of my attitude change my health has actually been getting better! My experience of Alexis is that she is extremely sharp and a careful listener with a beautiful balance of being very empathetic/caring and also no-bullshit. I've had the joy of watching her work with men and see them- with her guidance- be able to access places in themselves and untie inner knots they hadn't known existed before. As a woman I have felt extremely 'gotten' and 'held' by her and inspired by her powerful loving radiance. I recommend her 200%. read more

I give my highest recommendation to Alexis as a personal coach. I find her incredibly warm, genuine, highly intelligent, and perceptive. Most importantly though, her coaching gave me results. We worked on me being more expressive of my true feelings, which has had a huge impact on my personal relationships. Not that I had serious problems in the area of relationships, but working with Alexis has helped me fine-tune my assertiveness and my ability to express difficult feelings like anger and frustration in a skillful way. Before I would bottle up frustration and then it would leak out in passive aggressive way, but now I'm much more able to express my feelings in the moment in a way that doesn't provoke defensiveness in the other person. I think something else that I really liked about working with Alexis is that I immediately felt comfortable with her. Each session was highly productive and felt like we could jump right in, get down to business, and left each session feeling very clear and knowing my next moves, and like I had gotten great value for my money. If you're looking for a coach, call her up. You won't be disappointed. read more

Coaching with Alexis feels like a blessing in my life. I've been doing a very deep work with her in discovering my true-self that has transformed my life. I feel seen and supported by her in a way that feels nourishing. After coaching with Alexis I started to create the life I want, making more conscious choices in my life, feeling more confident and able so see things with more clarity than in the past. I stared to experience deeper connections in my relationships with friends and drawn into my life an amazing man, creating the most fulfilling relationship I ever had. read more

Working with Alexis, I've felt completely held and safe delving into deep places within myself that I'd resisted exploring before. I've felt my heart and my vitality in a way that I hadn't in a while. Alexis manages to be loving and intuitive, and directed and professional, all at the same time. read more

I've worked with Alexis in two separate trainings: one, a weekend workshop, called AWE (authentic women experience) and also in a year-long training: Transformational Coaching and Leadership Training (TCLT). I find her to be one of the most intuitive, empathetic, inspiring coaches/trainers/therapists out there. Bottomline (and I don't say this lightly): working with Alexis (and Guy Sengstock, the co-founder of the Arete Center for Excellence, and Rick Snyder) has allowed me to actually be present for more of my life, free from an underlying sense that I need to do something/effort in someway to make it ok. I've done traditional psychotherapy, and other experiential work and have felt more or less very fortunate in my life but working with these three extremely gifted and experienced trainers changed my experience of my daily life. I have an incredible sense of inner peace and "OKness" that I had never experienced to the depth I do now. I've told my friends and famliy, i feel "homeful" in my body now; loving, compassionate and companionable with my self. I also have much greater depth of intimacy with everyone in my life; and am much more effective with people in work situations. A month after completing TCLT I worked out a sabbatical at my consulting firm and have been traveling for four months in Bali, Bhutan and Nepal. I don't believe I would have taken the leap without this training. I will feel forever grateful for taking the plunge to do the year-long TCLT training. It changed my life. Thank you Alexis, Guy and Rick! read more
