Stephanie Jourdan, Ph.D. is the Director of the New Focus Institute (NFI) in Woodland Hills (suburb of Los Angeles), California, a state-approved school offering courses in Mythic Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Accelerated Learning, Archetypal Therapy, Astrology and Tarot. Dr. Jourdan is the President of The National League of Medical Hypnotherapists and the Editor of Healthy Outlook. Her private practice encompasses mythology, archetypal psychology, astrology, Ericksonian hypnosis, enneagram theory and NLP. She is also trained in homeopathy, sound therapy, aromatherapy, and Neuro-Emotional Technique. A paid astrologer from the age of 15, she grew up with the advantage of four generations of homeopathic physicians on her father's side and a mother that encouraged hypnosis as a household modality. She pioneered billing hypnotherapy as a medical procedure after proving the ability to regenerate her left index fingertip following a work-related accident in a medical environment. The accident spurned her to take up hypnotherapy as a full-time profession in 1988. She has an unusual professional background in advertising, health care, astrology, hypnotherapy, and teaching. She personally trained with the late Edwin Steinbrecher (Inner Guide Meditation) and Don Campbell (The Mozart Theory.) Dr. Jourdan is recognized in Who's Who in America and Who's Who of American Women.
