The HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) a non-profit organization, provides programs and services supporting the needs of women and families affected by breast cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bras for Body & Soul is a specialty bra shop and extended services for all women, including women who have had breast surgery, in order to make a positive difference in women's lives.


Workshops

It is sadly true at this time in history, that 1 in 8 women (particularly in North America) are likely to experience breast cancer in their lifetime.  While our ultimate goal is to see the end of this disease, we are committed to helping women who have had a lumpectomy or mastectomy, with or without reconstruction, to be fitted in bras (and prosthesis if needed) that provide ultimate comfort and support while facilitating her natural appearance. 

In truth it is time for ALL women, whatever their circumstances, to have access to the respect and care they deserve regarding their bras, their bodies, their breast(s).  Our encounters with women reveal that 9 out of 10 hate their bra due to its discomfort, awkwardness, lack of support; many therefore think that their body is the problem when in fact it is most likely is due to the poor quality or poor fit of the majority of bras in the marketplace today.  It is time that the media, the medical profession and the undergarment industry promote the health and well-being of women, including our breasts.
