Connecticut

Hello! My name is Jules and I live in southeastern Connecticut. I was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2011. I joined Curvy Girls in 2012 as a member, and then I became the CT Leader a few years later. Curvy Girls was the support I needed during my scoliosis journey. Talking to people that were going through the same thing made such a difference.

I was braced for 3 years. I wore the Providence brace, and then I switched to the WCR brace. I also did Schroth Physical Therapy when I was in 7th grade. I had a spinal fusion in 2014. My curve decreased by half, to 31°, after surgery. I have two rods and 11 screws from T10-L3. Surgery was the best option for me as my curve increased quickly.

I also have POTS and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I graduated college with a bachelor’s in English in Spring 2023. Currently, I do Pilates and craniosacral therapy as treatment to manage pain. I’m a writer and I love to make jewelry. I also like to ski and spend time with my friends and family. I love being a part of Curvy Girls and helping people on their scoliosis journeys.
