Samantha Darst

Care Coordinator

Samantha focuses on patient navigation, guiding individuals through their fertility journey while supporting the clinic's day-to-day operations. She ensures the clinic runs smoothly and that patients feel empowered and supported every step of the way. Her goal is to create a smooth and reassuring start to each patient’s fertility journey.

With a background in mental health counseling, Samantha is passionate about providing thoughtful communication and compassionate support during what can be an emotional and deeply personal time. She values Collab’s patient-centered care and integrative approach, which honors each person’s unique path and considers nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors in reproductive health.

Originally from a San Francisco family, Samantha grew up in Sonoma County and spent the last decade in Chicago before returning to the Bay Area in 2024. She now lives in Walnut Creek. Outside of work, you’ll find her reading, journaling, practicing yoga, riding her bike, and exploring new coffee shops and ice cream spots.
