samantha began her path as a volunteer sexual health educator at Planned Parenthood Toronto in 2011. Her love with the ever evolving field of sexual health and providing one-to-one support, drew her to community health promotion locally and internationally. She has since worked as a counselor in a number of sexual/reproductive health clinics, as a mentor training other sexual health educators and traveled to develop education and resources for women’s empowerment projects abroad. Her goal is to replace ideas about sex and relationships that originate in patriarchy, misogyny, capitalism, and shame, with ideas stemming from abundance, sex positivity, love, and choice. Her work is LGBTQ2S+ inclusive and youth positive.
Patterns samantha identified through her clinic experience, namely the connection between negative sexual health outcomes – including self-doubt/consent related sexual violence – and low self-esteem, anxiety, and challenges with communication in relationships with, led her to founding Inner Development Project (2016), a Toronto-based outreach program, facilitating workshops with young women/non-binary youth.
