The Story So Far

My 
Story

Photo May 23 2025, 7 04 54 AM.jpg

I’m Samphire Savage — a social worker, somatic practitioner, and creative systems thinker. I’ve spent 20+ years weaving together embodiment, public policy, and art to help people and organizations live and work with more connection, creativity, and care.

​

As an immigrant, queer, neurodivergent foster care alumnus, I bring lived experience and deep curiosity to every space I enter. My work is rooted in equity and accessibility — creating environments where all bodies and identities are welcomed.

​

Highlights & Milestones

  • Founded and led three nonprofits and two businesses

  • Partnered with SAMHSA, NJ Department of Children & Families, Rutgers University, and others
