Samantha is a therapist specializing in women’s sexuality and has been helping women explore this area of their lives for over ten years. This program creates a safe space for women to find community, adopt a curious-mindset, thrive and connect, while supporting one another through the exploration and questioning of their sexuality later in life. Self-understanding, belonging and acceptance are a few of the invaluable takeaways from this program. Click here if you would like to learn more: https://www.curiousquestioningandcomingout.com
