The founder, Jessica Chellsen, who holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist wanted to create a space where care could be holistic, flexible, and accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three years ago, Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness launched its dedicated <strong>Surrogacy Wellness Program<\/strong>, quickly discovering a passion for supporting women who carry for others. Most recently, Jessica co-created the <strong>Surrogate Wellness Collective<\/strong> alongside registered dietitian nutritionist Ginger Cochran, bringing together physical therapy and nutrition for comprehensive surrogate support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness\u2019s approach is accessibility and empowerment. \u201cI meet each surrogate exactly where she is whether she\u2019s new to exercise or already very active,\u201d Jessica explains. The goal is to ensure women feel strong, pain-free, and confident throughout pregnancy, delivery, and recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Jessica Chellsen\" class=\"wp-image-2974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/expecting.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Headshot.jpeg 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Jessica Chellsen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Services for Surrogates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness offers a <strong>10-month Surrogate Fitness and Pelvic Floor Health Program<\/strong>, which includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Monthly one-on-one virtual sessions<\/strong> to design customized workouts<\/li><li>Education on <strong>birth preparation<\/strong> and <strong>postpartum recovery<\/strong><\/li><li>Safe, effective programs aligned with ACOG and American Physical Therapy Association guidelines<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Services are fully virtual, delivered via secure video sessions and a user-friendly app. This allows <a href=\"https:\/\/expecting.ai\/surrogates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surrogates<\/a> to access care and guidance from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qualifications and Expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, advanced pelvic health training, and strength and conditioning credentials, Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness is uniquely positioned to blend <strong>medical expertise<\/strong> with <strong>fitness coaching<\/strong>. Unlike traditional trainers, Jessica can also address pain, pelvic floor concerns, and other medical aspects of perinatal health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaboration for Whole-Person Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure complete support, Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness collaborates with other professionals. The <strong>Surrogate Wellness Collective<\/strong>, co-founded with Ginger Cochran, integrates <strong>nutrition counseling and physical therapy<\/strong>, reflecting a growing understanding that <a href=\"https:\/\/expecting.ai\/surrogates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optimal surrogate<\/a> care requires addressing body, mind, and overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalized Evaluation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every journey begins with a <strong>30\u201345 minute intake session<\/strong>. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reviewing medical and birth history<\/li><li>Discussing current symptoms and goals<\/li><li>Education on pelvic floor protection during pregnancy<\/li><li>Establishing safe and effective exercise strategies<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This personalized process ensures that every surrogate feels supported and confident from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Typical Surrogate Wellness Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most surrogates begin working with Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness once under OB-GYN care. Early sessions account for possible fatigue or nausea after fertility treatments, starting with gentle, manageable exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of the pregnancy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>7 monthly sessions<\/strong> focus on safe strength, mobility, and pain prevention<\/li><li><strong>2 sessions before birth<\/strong> emphasize delivery preparation<\/li><li><strong>3 postpartum sessions<\/strong> guide recovery and long-term wellness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client Experiences and Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surrogates often share that Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness helped make their most recent journey their best yet. Many stayed active, avoided pain or leakage, and felt more confident compared to prior pregnancies. One consistent piece of feedback: pelvic floor education is \u201ca game-changer,\u201d helping women feel empowered and prepared for labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges Along the Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest obstacle? <strong>Fatigue<\/strong> from fertility medications or pregnancy itself. Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness addresses this by tailoring flexible, realistic programs that support surrogates without overwhelming them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Sets Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness Apart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Jessica, Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness is the only program led by a Doctor of Physical Therapy dedicated specifically to surrogates. This level of medical expertise, combined with extensive surrogate-focused experience, makes the program unique among wellness providers in the fertility space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Surrogacy Wellness Program, Vibrant Coast Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness recently launched the <strong>Surrogate Wellness Collective<\/strong>, expanding services to include nutrition. For those who prefer a self-guided option, the <strong>Vibrant Strength app<\/strong> offers prenatal and postpartum fitness support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advice for Intended Parents and Surrogates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jessica encourages anyone considering wellness support to explore their options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYou have nothing to lose by getting expert guidance on supporting your body.
