She is recognized for her advocacy, especially on issues that affect “the mind, body, heart, and soul.” Joan, born Joan Kiess and a native of Bucyrus, Ohio, currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In February, 2006 - Dr. Joan Kenley began producing her radio show Talking Matters for KXRA - broadcasting in Carmel, Monterey, and Santa Cruz, California. The cornerstone of her show is bringing together "experts and innovators" for conversations that matter.
After a few months on the air, Talking Matters was recognized by San Francisco’s progressive talk radio station KQKE 960AM. In September 2006, the show was invited to join KQKE's weekend line up - airing Saturdays at 5PM and renamed The Joan Kenley Show - branded as Conversation Radio. In September 2007, KQKE became KKGN Green 960. Dr. Kenley is currently on hiatus from the station as she expands her radio format with various co-hosts. She continues to create her programs regularly, making them available on her website and through various podcasts.
Joan developed a signature voice for which she is known[citation needed] today as well as the BodyVoice Method; detailed in her book Voice Power-A Break Through Method to Enhance Your Speaking Voice.
Dr. Kenley's voice is recognized as the “voice of voicemail”. Her acclaim lead to her being cast as a celebrity voice on three episodes of The Simpsons, playing "The Telephone Lady". Her voice has also been heard on numerous television and radio commercials; including Pillsbury, Isuzu, Macy's, and Bank of America.
Voice Power-A Break Through Method to Enhance Your Speaking Voice (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1989), details her methodology for improving the speaking voice and empowering one's personal professional life. Prior to her work as a psychologist and health professional, Dr. Kenley researched the healing aspects of working with the speaking voice. Her book features a method that helps improve the sound of the voice through various holistic exercises.
Whose Body Is It Anyway? - Smart Alternative and Traditional Health Choices for Your Total Well-Being (New York: Newmarket Press, 1999) Dr. Kenley wrote this book after an almost fatal search to solve her own health problems. She writes about women's health issues: osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimers, as well as myths and misinformation about fibroids, hysterectomies, aging, and hormone replacement therapy. The book also deals with issues of women's identity, with commentaries on self-value, food issues, and how to develop an informed position on health.
Joan was selected for the role of "Mind and Mood" expert for Hellman's and Best Foods' national campaign and webcast: Refresh Your Mind, Body, and Soul. These health courses were aimed at helping women develop healthy food habits to refresh their mood, reduce stress, and promote a more balanced life.
