Julie Moffit
A musician, writer, and teacher, Julie has many interests that are tied together by an earnest desire to know more about the world and a wonder at the beauty of nature. Her early musical works suggest a practical mysticism about and love for both the natural world and the natural world of humankind. Her books continue these themes and explorations. When she’s not wearing one of these many hats, Julie practices Sound Healing in South Central Pennsylvania and spends time with her husband and their two kitties and a dog on their one-acre nature preserve.
