Navigating pregnancy or parenting alongside chronic pain and illness?

You’re in the right place…

If you’re pregnant or parenting while living with pain or long-term health challenges, 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, or illness.

I’m Jen, an Advanced clinical massage therapist, Doula and mother of two committed to walking this path of parenthood and long term health conditions with you.

Whether you’re looking for:

  • birth support
  • pregnancy massage
  • postnatal care and recovery
  • to address your pain and fatigue levels through massage and bodywork..

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 all those small aches and pains have built up and you’re feeling tired and heavy all the time?
Pregnancy, birth and beyond is such a transition, it’s no wonder you want some care.

So, if you want to feel calm, relaxed and like you can breeze through those decisions, this might be the path for 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

“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.”

So this morning on the way back from dropping the kids off at school suddenly got a really sharp pain in my right hand side rib cage. I realised I couldn't take a full breath in without pain, which when you're walking...not super fun. I initially thought it might be a muscle problem. It could still be the intercostal muscles but it feels more to me like there's a rib out of place because I can't breathe in fully and something just feels wrong in the thoracic spine area. I've generally been feeling stiffer, had higher fatigue and higher pain, probably since late June... So here's what I've been noticing about my routine.
