Navigating pregnancy or parenting alongside chronic pain and illness?
You’re in the right place…
If you’re pregnant or parenting while living with hypermobility, HSD, hEDS and the pain and fatigue that comes with it, you don’t have to do it alone
Welcome to Applesea Therapies
I support people navigating pregnancy, birth, and parenting alongside the extra challenges of chronic pain, fatigue, and hypermobility.
I’m Jen, an Advanced clinical massage therapist, Doula and mother of two committed to walking this path with you.
Whether you’re looking for:
- Respite from pain, fatigue and heightened nervous system sensitisation
- Support with PGP, sciatica and those other aches and pains of pregnancy
- A postnatal care plan designed for hypermobile bodies
- Dedicated advocacy and a non-judgemental space to explore all your birth choices
I want to see how I can help. So dive in to whichever path calls to you and let’s see what we can do, together…
Pregnancy and Postnatal
Feeling like you need support with all the decisions, or like you suddenly need to be an expert in complex conditions to navigate your labour and birth choices?
Or maybe you’ve been struggling with your shifting body, and you’re feeling tired, in pain and heavy all the time?
Pregnancy, birth and beyond is such a transition, it’s no wonder you want some care. That’s where I can help.
Sit down, and lets take a look at what support might suit you.

Clinical Massage
Are you stuck in a pain loop, looking for escape?
Perhaps you’re afraid of movement, dragged down by pain and fatigue and wishing you could just feel normal.
I get it, I’ve been there. So I know, it doesn’t have to be this way.
What if…
You could feel lighter, jump out of bed feeling refreshed and get back to a regular movement practice
I’ve seen it happen, and felt it myself

Testimonials
Laura O.
“What an amazing massage. I left today feeling rebalanced, refreshed & reinvigorated. I thought I was going for a relaxing massage – which it undoubtedly was – but I didn’t realise how much physiological knowledge Jen would have & how it would be like a massage & physiotherapy session in one. Highly, highly recommended.”

“I have too many good things to say about Jen. I have Elhers-Danlos and meeting another woman like Jen who also has an EDS diagnosis and is working to help people like us has been very moving for me. Dealing with it alone can be really hard and Jen’s kindness and incredible amount of knowledge has brought me a lot of peace. I always leave her massage sessions and text my girlfriend that I think Jen has magical powers lol. I struggle so much to feel relaxed in general, but she really has a gift for making people feel safe and comfortable and alleviating pain”
