Easily bruising can be a side effect of certain medications (blood thinners, corticosteroids) and supplements (fish oil and ginkgo).
She should be tested for her platelets count and platelets function.
She needs to be evaluated for her status of coagulation factors.
Hypothyroidism is a condition with risk for frequent bruising.

Best wishes!
