“Witnessing the growth of The Courage Campaign from idea to implementation has been a joy. 7 years ago I had my first personal experience with the magic that happens in a room with founder Ashley Mitchell. The benefits of journaling while working out allowed for a level of thoughtfulness and vulnerability not usually accessed during crew practice at my son’s high school. As a therapist, witnessing the benefit of engaging in mind, body and soul connection through this practice was incredible. I can’t imagine what group or age of human wouldn’t benefit from the work of The Courage Campaign.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ashley on inclusive programming that has informed large scale Brand Initiatives as well as on projects that have focused on touching just one or two individuals. Her care, passion, and organization make her both a dream to work with and one of the best in her field. Whether it's teaching a Master Class on Diversity and Inclusive Design geared towards fitness professionals or a yoga class aimed to engage youth in the community, Ashley brings her whole self to every endeavor regardless of size or scope. She is invaluable as a consultant, teacher, and friend.”

“Ashley’s visits have been a resounding success! Students are engaged and participating, and teachers have told me that they noticed a difference in students’ demeanor and focus throughout the day. In just a short amount of time, 3rd graders are already holding themselves accountable for their wellness. Ashley is teaching our students that they have power. She is showing them that struggles are to be expected, but it’s how we deal with these struggles that makes us better people. She is showing our students to value their courage and strength. Ashley is not only a fitness professional, but a truly incredible role model.”

“We were so grateful to have Ashley come lead a Courage Campaign workshop with our Girl Scout troop. Ashley formed a quick connection with the girls and truly listened to what they had to say. Ashley empowered the girls to journal their thoughts and feelings without judgement and move their bodies with confidence. The girls felt strong and supported and continued to talk about the workshop long after her visit. It was one of the best activities we did together as a troop!”
