Follow-up Questions

Follow-up questions can be sent via email and once answered by email are charged to your credit card at the same rate of $8 per minute.

Typical questions often concern where to live, when to submit an offer, when to sign a partnership agreement, when to sign a marriage license, where to go for a vacation, best date for throwing a party, and where to be on one’s birthday. Where you physically on your birthday creates a new chart for your birthday year, i.e., from birthday-to-birthday.

Astrological Guided Imagery

Some clients have stubborn and challenging patterns in their chart.

In these cases, it is highly beneficial for them to speak to their chart’s planets through an archetypal guide, such as Savannah Jourdan.

This is effectively done through a guided imagery technique called Inner Guide Meditation or archetypal therapy.

Dr. Jourdan was trained and certified by Edwin Steinbrecher and D.O.M.E., the Inner Guide Meditation Center foundation.

Archetypal therapy is based in the practice of active imagination as taught by the late Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and father of modern-day analysis.

Dr. Jung was not only an influencer in psychiatry, but anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy and astrology. He used astrology in his analytical practice.

In the client’s imagination, the client makes contact with the planets that are in conflict within his or her psyche. The first time is best done with someone to lead you into it and supervise the interactions. The outcome is often nothing less than amazing with resolution not possible in the outer world. This is because the issue was within the psyche. Stephanie, Diane Griggs-Ross or Savannah Jourdan can guide you through the landscape and archetypes within your psyche.

Dr. Jourdan is recognized in the 1995-2024 Who’s Who in America.

As a regular feature writer for the Conscious Living Guide Magazine, she shared her philosophy regarding the power of failure and fear.

A pioneer in archetypal therapy, Dr. Jourdan’s book, Aromatherapy for the Hypnotherapist, is a guide for hypnotherapists who want to use aromatherapy as part of their practice that includes the archetypal signatures of the referenced essential oils.

Education

Stephanie Jourdan, Ph.D., is a second generation hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. She received certification as a clinical hypnotherapist from HMI College of Hypnotherapy in Tarzana, a nationally-accredited college. She received her doctorate from American Pacific University.

Her earliest experience of hypnosis was as a young girl using Roy Masters’ mindfulness meditation in 1962 which utilized a self-induced hand-raising technique.

Stephanie benefitted from the New Age consciousness that came alive in the 60’s. Her mother, Janna Joseph, worked for Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, at U.C.San Diego in the 60’s.

Dr. Pauling was a very open-minded scientist and Stephanie’s mother became intensely interested in the paranormal. Every week, fellow workers and students came over to her house for table-tapping.

Then fate stepped in. One of the attendees, a student of Dr. Pauling’s, gave Stephanie a book and a deck of cards. The book was My World of Astrology by Sydney Omarr and the deck was a Rider Waite tarot deck.

Although Janna Joseph, her mother, was most recognized for her miniature doll molds, she was also a marriage and family therapist that utilized NLP and hypnotherapy. “People by day, dolls by night.” She also wrote for a paranormal publication in the 60’s.

It was Janna’s metaphysical search into the mind-body connection that set Stephanie on a similar path at a very young age. Stephanie accompanied her mother to numerous churches and temples. These included Buddhism, Judaism, Rosicrucianism, Unity Church, Church of Christ Scientist, spiritism and channeling by Edgar Cayce.

Janna could read Latin and was very interested in ancient religious writings. She was also an avid follower of Adelle Davis and all the family members drank Tiger’s Milk for breakfast made with black strap molasses and Brewer’s yeast.

In the 80’s, Stephanie began studying astrology, numerology and tarot through The Builders of the Adytum, a Western mystery school based in the teachings of the Hermetic Order and the Kabbalah.

In 1984, Stephanie Jourdan began formal astrological and archetypal therapy training with the late Edwin Steinbrecher, author of The Inner Guide Meditation: A Spiritual Technology for the 21st Century.

She began full-time practice as a hypnotherapist, astrologer and Inner Guide Initiator in 1987.

That same year, Stephanie studied with the late Don Campbell, a leading expert in sound therapy and author of The Mozart Effect: Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind and Unlock the Creative Spirit and added sound therapy to her practice along with aromatherapy in 1992.

In 2010, she changed her approach to her astrological readings. After a few years of testing, she switched from using the Koch house system (as taught to her by Edwin Steinbrecher), to the oldest house system, the Whole Sign House System, after reading a compelling article by astrologer and scholar, Robert Hand. That led her to her current integration of Hellenistic astrological practices with modern Western astrology.
