Administrative  Hours : 9:00-4:00pm Monday through Friday. Emails received after 4:00pm will be addressed the following day. 

For General Inquiries Please Note : It is normal for me to take 2 days to read my emails and 2 more days to reflect on the matter and respond calmly. The culture of immediacy and the constant fragmentation of time are not very compatible with the kind of life I lead.

*Exceptions may be made for extenuating circumstances at the discretion of both the instructor and Shepherd Private Coaching Creative Director, Lauren Shepherd.
