"Kristen's yoga session was so much fun! I had an awesome time doing yoga. It really made me appreciate the art from even more. At camp, I learned how to take care of my body. I had an amazing experience with Kristen." ~EA, she/her, age 11

"If I were to describe my experience with Kristen's Camp I would say it life-changing, as I could tangibly feel the seeds of confidence and self-love that were planted in each girl's heart. Kristen is an amazing, loving steward of the next generation and her unique contribution inspires me and makes me hopeful for the future." ~DR, adult volunteer, Olympia

We know going through puberty and learning more about our bodies as a teenager can create anxiety. We honor all the developmental stages by offering smaller camp sizes with lots of volunteers so our participants feel seen, heard and supported. It also helps to foster new friendships in a deeper way.

We want to inspire girls with opportunities for their future. We offer theme-based health lectures and activities from female experts in wellness fields, public & environmental education, social media awareness, writing, sound healing, engineering, herbal healing and much more to encourage our participants to dream of their futures and help manifest their dreams whilst being an active participant in their communities.

Healthy food is important to our programming and we offer yummy organic food, tea and filtered water throughout the day.

Girls have the power to develop confidence, life skills, and self-care through My Body My Power Programs. These unique programs provide a journey of personalized discovery and inner peace, allowing girls to uncover their strengths while embracing themselves with newfound pride.

Kristen Rubis is dedicated to a path of service for nearly three decades, my work in the healing arts has encompassed massage, yoga, sound healing, maternity support, caregiving and youth empowerment.

My path, by way of years in the Olympia school system as a Paraeducator and weekly yoga classes for children, carried me to graduate from the Port Townsend School of Massage, with over 100 hours of continuing education in modalities such as neurodevelopmental movement therapies, mindfulness techniques, herbal education and nutrition.

Weaving sound healing, yoga and inspiration, my work supports and protects young girls and youth as they learn healthy habits of self-care and self-love. From 2008 to present, I have helped to educate and empower 2,700+ tweens and teens through my Yoga 4 Girls, Empowerment 4 Girls, Yoga 4 Teens and My Body My Power Programs.

I bring my self-empowerment, integrity and healing into my work, practice and relationships. I am deeply committed to my path of service as a resource for our community and encouraging others to live to their fullest potential.
