One-on-one Herbal consultation sessions
-
This practice was born from a desire to provide an alternative to the standard available options provided through conventional Western care. It’s foundational elements include traditional western herbalism in the vitalist tradition and, if desired, spiritual guidance from the akashic records.
-
In a session, we sit together and create a complete picture of your life. This includes physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual dynamics. These sessions are assessments completed through talking and visual assessment only. They run 75 minutes.
After the session, I will reach out via phone or email (whichever is preferred) with a protocol that is a combination of nutritional and herbal recommendations, and actions to take that will help you resolve your issue and find better alignment with yourself.

I recognize the importance of the human element in the healing process. Human health is a nuanced, delicate matter that requires direct interaction between two people in order to create lasting, meaningful, holistic shifts.
The healing practice starts with sitting together. I am here to receive what you would like to share. Listening, and taking time to consider elements of your life that go beyond the immediate and obvious symptoms is an essential part of the practice. This includes every side of health: physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. These facets co-exist, interweave. All are facets of the same prism.
-
I recognize that plants are also sentient beings, and many of them offer tremendous potential for assistance in healing if we are willing to work intentionally in collaboration with them.
I also know the universe is much, much, bigger than what we are presented with, both through our senses and through the stories we are told by the cultures we live in. There are resources available to you that I may ask to access during our sessions. This includes spiritual connections to personal guides and through connecting to the akashic records.
-
This is a collaborative practice of healing in which I help you create your own healing path. I believe the body has its own intelligence that is far more expansive than the knowledge we are consciously connected to through our minds. Your body knows the way to health! I am here to help you connect with that healing intelligence within you
AKASHIC RECORDS READING
-
Akasha is a Sanskrit word that describes a medium underlying all things, that from which all things come into being. It is essentially a record of everything that ever was and ever will be. Our physical senses do not sense the Akasha, but it can be reached through spiritual practice.
-
Think of this as a tapping into a vast library of information and energies that can help you by offering a little something about your life- past, present, and future. If you believe in and have worked with spiritual guides, this works similarly. It is another way to receive a little assist from other realms that exist beyond the earthly realm. When I do a reading, I am offering a way to make a connection between spirit and earth.
You might find it helpful to book a session:
During times when you feel blocked in an area of your life, and are looking for new information and perspective.
When you could use a reminder of spiritual support, that you are not going through life alone.
If you’ve got a vision of something new or big and want to collab to find the best way to bring that vision into reality.
When you’re feeling like making a change in your life, or are going through a transitional period of constant change.
-
Sessions open with an invocation to initiate the records session. While in the records, our time is spent in a free dialogue with spirit- the guides that come through to offer helpful information. I receive images, sounds, sensations and direct messages. You may come with 3-5 questions of any kind that function as a container and constellation points to help map the course of our conversation.
Unlike fortune-telling, these energy beings will not predict future events for you, but will offer support to help guide you gently on the path you are learning to forge for yourself. Your life can be a co-creation with spiritual assistants, but ultimately the decisions on how to act in the world remain yours. They wish only to give you what is needed to make these decisions for yourself.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND songwriting lessons
-
Black Currant offers lessons for those who want to focus on bringing their creative ideas to life. My specialty is helping you get thoughts, sounds, images out of your head and into the world to be shared with others. We cover whatever is needed to make this happen; music theory, keyboarding or vocal skills, composition, arrangement, or mixing and production techniques.
These lessons are also for those that want to go beyond sitting with a single instrument or are interested in rhythm making using electronic music methods. They are here to fill in the blanks left by most music schools and larger institutions. Depending on your needs, I offer crash courses in general digital audio workstation skills, as well as lessons on Ableton Live, Logic, Reaper, Garage Band, and ProTools.
Sessions run 60 minutes, and can be conducted in person if you are in the Flagstaff area, or online via zoom or google meetup. Free initial consultations are available through this link

I offer brief consultations for those who are forging their own educational path online. While there is a surplus of how-to videos and courses for programs out there, only direct consultation with another person can help you make meaning out of all that information, can help you find your unique sonic signature. I’m here to help you forge that sonic sound, take the next step in an arrangement.
