Thank you for your interest in joining our Higgy Zoom meetings! Before attending any group Zooms, every family is now required to schedule a short introductory meeting with Lauren, the founder of Higgy Bears—even if you have joined in the past.
This brief meeting helps Lauren get to know you and your child, confirm that you are a scoliosis family, and ensure that everyone feels safe and supported in our community spaces. After this appointment, you will receive the password and access information for all future Zoom meetings.
We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you into our Higgy Bears family!
Higgy Zooms will start back up December 15th. Please use the link below to schedule an appointment with Lauren.
Appointments are not available during zoom weeks, only weeks prior.
*You only need to schedule one appointment. Once you have been approved, you will have access to all future meetings.

Parents are welcomed and encouraged to join the group with their kids.
