    Maybe she needs to look for a saddle with a large V cut into the back of it (for example the Bontrager Inform saddles) so there's nothing near the tail bone to press on.

    A male friend of ours had issues and ended up buying a women's saddle to cope (and that was after he rode around with large bits of latex foam duct taped to the rear of his saddle).

    Also, make sure she does the measure the sit bone thing to see if the saddle is wide enough. If you saddle is too narrow, one of the big symptoms (at least for me) is terrible pain in the coccyx when you stop riding.
