OUR STORY

Two Sisters.
One Lifelong Love of Gymnastics.

Courtney started flipping Emily around before Emily could even walk. What began as two sisters growing up in Northern Kentucky became a lifelong passion for gymnastics and decades of coaching young athletes.

After coaching thousands of young gymnasts, Emily realized that the biggest obstacle wasn't learning new skills—it was believing in themselves.

That realization inspired the Floor Fairies series— magical chapter books that help young gymnasts discover courage, confidence, perseverance, and trust both inside and outside the gym.

THE SECRET GYM SERIES

One Magical Gym.
Four Powerful Lessons.

Follow Maya as she discovers magical creatures hidden throughout the gym and learns that the greatest strength is often found inside her own thoughts.
