𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 (𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱) is a dance ritualist, somatic therapist, and womb space holder from British Columbia, Canada. She is devoted to guiding women back to the reclamation of their wild, natural state—awakening deep womb wisdom and reconnecting to the body’s innate intelligence.
Her work weaves together breath-work, somatic practices, elemental dance, tantra, moon cycle rituals, visualization, inner child healing, and creative expression. Through her spaces, women are gently guided to listen inward—to the authentic emotions moving through the body—and to rediscover a felt sense of safety within themselves.
Rooted in the wisdom of nature, Samantha honors the cyclical rhythms that live within every woman. She supports the return to pleasure as a natural, innocent birthright—inviting women to soften, feel, and fully inhabit their bodies once again.
She is a certified Yoga Teacher, Tantra Practitioner, Trauma-Informed De-Armouring facilitator, Nature Moves Dance guide, and Lomi Lomi Hawaiian massage practitioner, with an undergraduate degree in Social Sciences focused on the history of sexuality.
