Meet the Owner

Hi, I'm Julia!

I'm the founder of Healing Hips Co., but before I ever dreamed of creating this brand, I was simply a teenager searching for answers.

After years of hip pain, I was diagnosed with bilateral developmental Hip Dysplasia?a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully support the ball of the hip joint. That diagnosis led to a series of seven hip surgeries, including three labral repairs and two Periacetabular Osteotomies (PAOs). Recovery wasn't just physically demanding; it was mentally and emotionally challenging, too.

Throughout my journey, I discovered something that surprised me: very few people had ever heard of Hip Dysplasia. I found myself constantly explaining my condition, my scars, my mobility aids, and even the screws in my hips. Those conversations made me realize just how much awareness was missing.

That's why I created Healing Hips Co.

My goal is simple: to turn everyday apparel into an opportunity to educate, encourage, and connect. Every design is made with the Hip Dysplasia community in mind?whether you're navigating a diagnosis, preparing for surgery, recovering from a PAO, supporting a loved one, or simply helping spread awareness.

Healing Hips Co. is more than a clothing brand. It's a reminder that our stories matter, our scars tell a story of strength, and no one should have to walk this journey alone.

Thank you for supporting this mission. Every shirt you wear helps start a conversation, and every conversation brings us one step closer to greater awareness.

I'm so glad you're here.
