Perineal Massage Coach was created by Jennifer Massey, a regionally based Australian pelvic health physiotherapist, out of a recognition that the gap between what evidence-based care looks like and what women can actually access is often wide — and widest for those living outside major cities.
Perineal massage is one of the most consistently supported antenatal interventions in the research. The evidence is clear, the technique is learnable, and the benefits are real. Yet many women never receive guidance on it at all — not because their care team doesn't care, but because appointment time is short, the topic feels awkward to raise, and resources are limited.
Perineal Massage Coach was built to close that gap. Not to replace a midwife, obstetrician, or pelvic health physiotherapist — but to give every woman the kind of clear, practical, evidence-informed guidance that too often gets missed in a busy maternity appointment, in her own time and in complete privacy.
