GLORIA FIRNHABER · CERTIFIED MASTECTOMY FITTERA space for you.
A space for you.
With respect.
With empathy.
Supporting you is part of my story, too. As a fitter, I listen, offer guidance, and help you explore bras and external breast forms that suit your needs and preferences.
LET’S TALK →Comfort, confidence, and compassionate support. Information and enquiries are welcome in English or Spanish.
Every story is different.
Everyone deserves to be heard.
On Instagram, I’ve shared what supporting women through this process means to me. It’s about more than finding a bra or breast form: it’s about listening and working toward comfort and confidence, with respect for every individual story.

Exploring your options
Explore general options for external breast forms and supportive or pocketed bras, guided by your preferences and your healthcare team’s advice.
Listening to your experience
Talk about comfort, fit, and what you want in everyday life. Wearing a breast form is a personal choice; there is no single way to experience this process.
Appointment availability, products, and location are confirmed when you get in touch. This page does not provide a diagnosis or replace your healthcare team’s advice.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST CONVERSATIONNo rush.
No rush.
No need to have every answer.
- Write down any questions you have about comfort and fit.
- Ask your healthcare team when a fitting or breast form is appropriate after surgery.
- Ask the appointment provider what to bring and whether a prescription is required.
- For coverage questions, confirm requirements and benefits directly with your insurer and provider.
Please don’t send clinical photographs, diagnoses, medical records, insurance numbers, or private medical information through the beauty contact form or Instagram.
