About Julia

Hello, I'm a harpist (I've been playing for over 20 years) and a Certified Therapeutic Harp Practitioner, or Harp Therapist, based in Hertfordshire. I specialise in harp for relaxation, meditation and wellbeing, including harp and guided imagery. This is a beautiful relaxation practice tailored to your needs and preferences, which leads you to relaxation though a series of visualisations created through words and music together. My certification is through the International Harp Therapy Program, an American organisation for which I'm now the UK representative, and which is certified under the National Standards Board for Therapeutic Musicians in the United States. I have also trained in harp with guided meditation and harp and storytelling, both with leading Italian harp therapist Ludwig Conistabile. Through my business, Peaceful Strings, I play in many different environments, from bedside at hospital and hospice to yoga retreats and wellbeing festivals. The harp is uniquely suited to this type of playing and I'm continuing a tradition that has been going for thousands of years. I can play in person and online, for individuals and groups, and have led over 100 online sessions in the last few years.
