Guest Speaker: Sara-ann Swanson
The Inner Beauty presentation sheds light on how so much of the images of females in media are altered in some way. We talk about how some of what we see is unrealistic and begin a conversation about the value of uniqueness. REAL female faces and bodies are not smooth as plastic. We have spots, lines, body hair, and dimples. We have curves and belly rolls and places that jiggle. We all have features that make us all different and all uniquely beautiful. Unique beauty is True beauty.
Sara-ann Swanson
Sara-ann grew up on a small family farm with her parents and two younger sisters in Massachusetts. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts she moved to Boston and began her career in the beauty industry. She graduated from The Learning Institute For Beauty Sciences and worked at an upscale salon on Newbury Street in Boston. After feeling burnt out from two years in a fast moving and over-stimulating salon environment, Sara-ann decided it was time for change. She had six months of adventure and exploration while traveling cross country and eventually landing in Olympia.
From her time in Boston, Sara-ann recognizes the importance of self-care and taking time to nurture ourselves. The Beauty Temple was born out of a vision and longing to create a truly nurturing and intimate salon experience. In business for over 20 years, the Beauty Temple is a well known sanctuary to the community of Olympia and beyond.
Sara-ann lives with her partner Kyle, step sons Emmit and Micah and Australian Shepard, Missy and Siberian Husky, Maxx. She enjoys spending time at home with her family, playing instruments and singing, and creating beauty and comfort in her home, yard and work space.

You gain invaluable tools to practice self-care through yoga, mindfulness practices, social-emotional tools, meditation, positive affirmations, brain gym, intentional sexuality education and creative projects like "All About Me Collages."
VALUES OF OUR PROGRAMMING
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.
Join us to discover yourself anew!
