Healing Your Child’s Brain

A native of England, Carol Newell has dedicated her life to helping children, particularly those with special needs. She began her career as a certified nursery nurse in the UK, where she worked with healthy children as well as those with varying degrees of health problems. After becoming fascinated by the advancements made with brain-injured children by the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, Carol contacted the IAHP about a position. She was accepted into a four-year program that brought her to the United States, where she later became certified in child brain development. Carol ran the Early Development Program for IAHP for ten years. She has worked in a clinical setting with special-needs children for thirty-five years.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Joe Hempel, a total eighties' kid, had a fascination with an eclectic array of shows that would later shape his performances in the audiobook world-shows like Alf, Night Court, Tales from the Crypt, and WWF Superstars. For over a decade Joe honed his acting skills as a referee in professional wrestling and inspired people as a NASM certified personal trainer and endurance coach. Combined with his animated personality and a love for reading, becoming an audiobook narrator was a natural step. Best known for his captivating, rich narrations and uncanny ability for pulling listeners into an immersive experience, Joe has entertained listeners with over 100 audiobooks ranging from horror and mystery to science fiction, romance, and personal development. Joe still lives in Cincinnati with his son Zach, and enjoys running marathons and bringing words on a page to life. Joe is also the winner of the 2018 ABR Listeners Choice Award for Horror.
