Hi, I’m Tippy Heffernan-Missick!
I’m a children’s book author, neuro-fitness educator, speaker, and lifelong mover with a passion for helping kids grow strong—inside and out.
I write books that blend storytelling with purpose—encouraging children to explore, move, imagine, and believe in themselves. Whether we’re dancing with leprechauns, solving mysteries in New England, or learning from Santa’s tropical workouts, my stories bring fun and focus together in creative ways.
I’m also the founder of the Neuro-Fitness Academy, where I teach kids, families, and educators how to boost learning, calm the nervous system, and build resilience through movement.
When I’m not writing or mentoring, you’ll find me coaching peewee soccer, teaching fitness classes, speaking at conferences, or hanging out with my grandchildren!
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s raise focused, fit, and joy-filled kids—one story at a time.
