Dr. Jourdan is recognized and listed in the 1995-96 and 1999-00 Who's Who in America for her contributions in psycho-immunology.

The Other Side, a morning talk show on NBC, featured Dr. Jourdan as a regular guest and solicited her to create one of their shows.  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 imagery, Dr. Jourdan has written a workbook and companion journal on self-guided archetypal therapy, Fun and Games with the Archetypes, Wide Hips Press, 1998. 

She and her husband, Raphael, have two daughters, who share their interest in the body-mind connection.  She maintains a private practice encompassing archetypal therapy, accelerated learning, regression, astrology, and tarot.

Diane Griggs, L.C.S.W., M.S.W., Astrologer, Archetypal Therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Author, Doula, Tarot Reader, and Innovator of Monster Therapy.  

"Diane lives a quadruple life in the career arena.  Psychic since childhood, she is a highly developed intuitive in her work as an astrologer, archetypal therapist, hypnotherapist, and tarot reader, but still enjoys providing real entertainment as a reader at parties and corporate events.  She has innovated a break-through therapeutic modality for children searching for their inner heroes.  She helps expectant and new mothers as a doula and she brings peace and love to children and families who have endured horrible trauma," Stephanie Jourdan.

She specializes in sexual abuse, community violence and traumatic grief.  An established expert in group work and play therapy, she co-authored "Parallel Treatment of Parents of Abuse Reactive Children.”  Her work in the area of child sexual abuse was featured on the CBS Evening News and 48 HOURS News. 

In 2004, Diane received the National Conference for Community and Justice Humanitarian Award and was commended by the City of Santa Monica and Los Angeles, the California Legislature Assembly and Senate for her work with at-risk youth.

In 1998, she received commendations from the city of Los Angeles, Office of the Mayor,  for her work with families who have been victims of community violence.

Krysti Carrelli, Astrologer, Tarot Reader, Intuitive, Certified Hypnotherapist,  Regressionist, and Astrological Dream Analyst.

"Krysti has a natural gift for astrology, drawing upon her lightening-fast reasoning, astute observations, obsessive need to read and study everything astrological and mystical, and her witty perceptions," Stephanie Jourdan.

Kristi has been a student of the occult most of her adult life.  She worked in the entertainment industry for eleven years prior to her professional career as an astrologer. She is also a designer and has a line of astrological gifts and wrap, which you can view and purchase at www.seraphimcreations.com.
