Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in my studio.
Study at the Phillips Studio yields tremendous benefits but it comes with significant and unique responsibilities.
It’s like sitting in the airplane exit row. If you feel you cannot perform the duties required of you, please inform a crew member before take-off. 🙂
This information will get you started. After reading, please contact me. Let’s talk about how you can give your child this transformative gift.
