As a long-time author and speaker on meditation and self-development, I gained an enthusiastic following for the audio version of my book "The Zen Commandments" and my CD "Just Being: Natural Meditation." More recently, I have narrated audiobooks for such publishers as Zondervan and HCI.

I've taught both meditation and literature for years, and am skilled at making people feel relaxed and reassured or alert and on point. Having been a speaker at venues ranging from Ivy League universities to maximum security prisons, I know how to reach all kinds of listeners with my voice. My ability to reflect different attitudes has been strengthened by my sideline as a singer. As the author of several books and magazine articles, I'm tuned in to the subtleties and nuances of sentence construction, as well as the rhythms and mood transitions of texts.
