Heart Strings is owned and operated by Ulrike Entwistle who is a Certified Fitting Consultant, accredited by ABC, the American Board of Certified Orthotics and Prosthetics. She is also a Juzo Certified Fitter for compression garments, and she is a breast cancer survivor herself and knows first-hand the journey ahead of you.
Even before surgery she had the advantage of finding suitable garments to assist her until she healed completely and later was fitted with a light weight breast form.
"When I was faced with my breast cancer diagnosis and had to shop for suitable new garments - and ultimately wanting more than a basic mastectomy bra and a breast form - I searched in many different directions. Out of this search the idea was born to open a Breast Care Boutique that would offer most products needed and wanted after breast surgery."
In the meantime we see more and more women who haven't had surgery, but still have fitting needs, like unusual sizing, or limited mobility and lymphatic swelling in arms and legs."
