HEAR FROM OUR PARENTS
"My daughter came out of a shell that I didn’t even know she had! She is much for joyful and creative after taking performing arts class.
"My daughter had a blast and grew leaps and bounds in the performance arts class! Ashley has an awesome report with all the kids and makes an effort to connect with each and every one of them while inspiring their own personal creativity and confidence. Not only did they learn some sweet dance moves and memorize some funny lines, they also learned about working with others and the importance of sharing their gifts and talents with the community. Highly recommend!!!
"These classes are a great experience for my children that helps with their confidence, creativity, and working with others in a fun, engaging, exciting environment. They can’t wait to go to class each week!"
Confidence Creativity Community
Ashley Isenhoff
Founder/Owner of H.I.S. Creative Academy
From a young age I’ve been passionate about EVERYTHING creative. Dancing, singing, acting, piano, improv, drawing, and painting. Growing up with six younger siblings, I found the most joy by involving them in imaginative play and storytelling. I like to say they were my first and best audience! In 2015, I encountered an art exhibit about human trafficking. It opened my eyes to the power of compassion through art and inspired me to take action. My mom said, “when you’re moved with compassion, it means you have a desire to help. And you should listen to that!” I struggled with this idea, because in my mind, I was too young to do anything and didn’t know enough about anything. She reminded me that kids who can’t do anything about their situation, need people who CAN do something. With my communities support, we started a ministry to create gift baskets for survivors by creating and selling jewelry, bath/body products, paintings, etc. In 2023, I went to Israel. We went to a rescue center for children and at risk moms called Neve Michael. They provided a meal for us and shortly into the meal, a group of kids from the refuge started playing instruments for us. I thought: “this is exactly what I want to see all the time. People creating and using their gifts to make others smile and be confident in who they are, no matter what they’re going through.” These experiences have led me to the realization that when you have compassion, act on it! I’ve noticed many individuals are struggling with not feeling talented and capable. Worse, they aren’t 100% themselves. I’m willing to Help Inspire Students everywhere be bold in who they are. I’m willing to help them stand tall and confident and know they have a community supporting them. We see our students as gifted, strong, and smart. Our goal is to be a supporter of students and encourage them to think outside the box, imagine more than they thought possible, learn to have compassion, and lead in their own way to inspire others. That’s all! Thank you for reading this, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be inspired with you and your students!
