Author Information

Amy Grabowski, MA, LCPC, ATR, is the founder and director of The Awakening Center, one of the first outpatient eating disorder treatment programs in Chicago, Illinois. She has provided individual psychotherapy and group therapy to women and men with eating disorders for over thirty years and also has led eating disorder support groups for over twenty years. She was trained in the Internal Family Systems therapy model by founder Dr. Richard C. Schwartz and has been a visiting lecturer on eating disorders at Northwestern University, Illinois School of Professional Psychology, National Louis University, and DePaul University. Amy is also a professional member of the National Eating Disorders Association and the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and a past member of the Academy of Eating Disorders. If you've watched TV at all in the past ten years, you've definitely seen her face and heard her voice countless times in any number of wildly successful national, global, and Super Bowl commercials, as well as playing the first blond Vulcan in Star Trek history. The daughter of two English professors, Natasha Soudek was raised in the South, speaks native German, lived in Berlin and Vienna, and finally settled in the Lower East Side of New York City as a teenager. After honing her stage presence by studying acting and playing hundreds of sold-out live music shows (singing and playing bass), she moved to LA to record with Channel/DreamWorks and act on TV. Favored on KCRW, Chris Douridas compared her voice and songwriting to the Beatles' Let it Be in meaning and soulfulness . . . qualities that translate especially well into her career as an audiobook narrator. Her voice is as distinct and memorable as the range of characters she's played on-screen, which gives listeners an immediate familiarity to connect to, along with a warmth and intimacy that spans and uplifts any genre.
