Alexis Shepperd, PhD

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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!!!

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.

I believe I suffered from Alexis coaching and did not receive value.
Note: the following review contains my personal observations and opinions, and as with any review — I encourage you to research fully all sides of the story and discover the facts for yourself.
I’ve taken the Authentic Man Program where Alexis was a coach. And, I also attended the year long Transformational Coaching and Leadership Training (TCLT) program of which she was one of our course leaders.
Just to start it off, I think Alexis is a good person with a good heart. I hold no animosity against her as a person. And, if you believe you received benefit from her without any negative side effects, then I’m glad for you.
As far as her «coaching,» however, I must say that I was incredibly disappointed, even shocked at what seemed to be recklessly crossing the boundary between coaching and what I would describe as psychotherapy. I did not sign up for coaching in order to be psychoanalyzed.
I asked her about this, and she more or less said that it’s ok to use psychotherapuetic techniques as long as the «context is coaching.» I don’t really know what that is supposed to mean, and I don’t trust her statement.
I noticed in myself and others in the TCLT course considerable increase in anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, irritability, and other negative side effects that seemed to come as a result of the course. Some students, however, seemed to like the course.
The other thing to watch out for about Alexis, I have seen her sell her services in ways which I thought were inappropriate. After some of the sessions within TCLT, she would end the session by saying something like: this might be something you’d want to explore more in private coaching. I’d be available to help you with it. (or something like that.)
I consider this to be unethical behavior, as the people may have been in very vulnerable states when she would start offering her services.
BE WARNED: If you do work with Alexis, of course, it is your choice. I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I’m just trying to tell some of what I’ve observed and experienced.
Also, as far as I know, she is an unlicensed clinical psychologist. So, I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing therapy with her before first inquiring about this — at least just to be safe.
Be happy, and may you find whatever you may be seeking.

Alexis is an incredibly intuitive and perceptive guide, whose ability to get to the heart of the matter continues to shock me. 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.

I love working with Alexis, and am seeing major shifts in my life as a direct result of her support and insight. She’s more than someone you just go spew your problems to for an hour– she is intuitive, direct, and gets right to the spots where I am stuck. 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.

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. The results are visible in every aspect of my life — with friends, family, business colleagues and particularly (after being single for a very long time) in the loving, passionate relationship my boyfriend and I have developed over the past year and a half.
I highly recommend Dr. Alexis Shepperd!

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.

Alexis is one of the most perceptive, insightful, and kind people I have ever met. When I first met her, I remember being absolutely blown away by how quickly she was able to see me and immediately begin to provide warm, helpful counsel exactly where I needed it. She truly has a gift, an uncanny ability to tap into others, and has made an enormous difference in my life in the past year. I would recommend her hands-​down to anyone seeking transformational change in their lives.

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.

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

Dr Alexis is the best! She helps uncover all the areas in your life that need ‘un-​sticking’ and coaches you to find ways to have the life you desire. She rocks!
