Sam’s contribution to me personally and to my business was nothing short of transformative. Her ability to distill complex ideas into clear, actionable strategies is a gift, but it’s her compassionate delivery and wisdom that truly set her apart. With Sam, every conversation feels both profound and practical—grounded in deep insights that illuminate your path forward. She is incredibly skilled at connecting vision to purpose, helping you navigate your business and your goals with clarity and confidence. She helped me see not only what was possible, but what was meaningful and she set me on the course to get there. I am endlessly grateful for her guidance as a mentor and advisor who truly understands how to blend heart and strategy.

You [Sam] are one of the most impressive speakers I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear… You are next level [in terms of how you communicate]. It gave me goosebumps listening to it.

JILL SUTHERLAND, Client Operations Manager - Team Sage

Thanks so much for speaking at our event. I really enjoyed the tone you set, it was one of understanding and acceptance and those two things are essential if we want to build bridges and effect change. I learned so much from you in such a short period of time, it was a real pleasure spending some time with you, Samantha.

Sam Panter's expertise in crafting a compelling Land Acknowledgment for our Winter Wonderland Show surpassed all expectations. With a keen understanding of the importance of acknowledging the Indigenous land on which our event took place, Sam beautifully articulated the historical and cultural significance, adding a profound layer of respect to our performance. The carefully chosen words and thoughtful phrasing demonstrated Sam's dedication to fostering an inclusive atmosphere. Thanks to Sam's contribution, our audience experienced not only a breathtaking dance performance but also a deepened connection to the land and its heritage. Thank you Sam!

OLIVIA GRAYCE, Owner - Sodance, Vernon, BC

I respectfully use Land Acknowledgments as part of my personal commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. Over the past few years, I have made adjustments to make the Acknowledgement more personal and respectful.

I approached Samantha with an ask..."How could I improve my Land Acknowledgement?"

Samantha provided me with some insights and personalization that have made a difference.

Specifically, she helped me identify Calls to Action #69 and #70 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and how I am implementing strategies that advance reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Humble thanks Samantha.

At the start of April, we had the privilege of welcoming Samantha Panter from K’waahlgahlda to this months Doula Chat. We had an incredible conversation of implied consent vs. informed consent and how important it is for doulas to not only know the difference but to be able to share that with their clients as well. Samantha shared so many nuggets of wisdom and we are so grateful for all time and effort put into this powerful talk. We hope to have Sam back for another Doula Chat! In the meantime, please give Sam a follow [social media]!

MARTHA LANPHEAR, BC Doulas Services Association

A spark of learning has been lit in me Sam, thanks. I’m starting my diversity improvement with learning more about First Nations Peoples. (Cultures and values, more history etc) I mean. Having had several native friends in my life and a Métis husband I’m really feeling it’s MY responsibility to learn more. Not their (or your) responsibility to teach me. So yea.

Truly thank you for sparking that.
