Welcome! I’m Nicole Alfred, and I am passionate about helping C-section Mamas reclaim their body and confidence after birth.
What makes me unique is my holistic, evidence-based approach that focuses on physical recovery and emotional well-being.
With years of experience working with mothers (and having had three C-sections), I understand the frustration of feeling dismissed or unsure about recovery, which is why I offer personalized support to help you heal fully—inside and out.
Recovered Mamas
Regain Strength & Confidence
"Months of feeling disconnected and struggling to get off the floor, I finally felt strong again. The C-Section Recovery Method™ helped me rebuild my core strength and regain physical independence, allowing me to confidently pick up my baby and move around with ease." -Kate, Ireland
Finding Emotional Healing
"I thought I just had to live with the emotional trauma from my C-section, but Nicole’s program gave me the tools to process my birth experience and reclaim my mental well-being. Now, I’m not only healing physically, but I feel empowered and in control of my recovery."
-Emily, Boston, MA
Overcoming Pain & Discomfort
"I had constant pain around my scar and avoided wearing certain clothes because of my belly pooch. With Nicole’s guidance, I learned how to manage the discomfort, improve my posture, and feel comfortable in my skin again—no more hiding in baggy clothes!" -Jess, Ontario, Canada
My Story
Just like you, I’ve navigated the challenges of C-section recovery.
A decade ago, I found myself facing an emergency C-section—a moment that shook my confidence and left me feeling lost. The physical recovery was one thing, but the emotional toll was another. I felt disconnected from my body, ashamed of my appearance, and unsure how to heal. As a manual practitioner, I thought I should’ve known what to do.
Still, the truth is that none of us are taught how to recover mentally or physically after a C-section. I hid in baggy clothes and avoided mirrors, and intimacy felt like a distant memory. The overwhelming feeling of failure and isolation was constant.
At three months postpartum, I went back to work, but I felt like a fraud. I was preaching self-care to my clients while putting myself last. The reality hit me: I reacted to symptoms without addressing the root cause.
If I had back pain? I’d get a massage. If I was feeling ashamed of my body? I’d hide it. Did I talk about my birth? No, I avoided it because people would tell me, “At least you and the baby are safe.” It wasn’t until I realized that my power and control had been taken from me during the birth and I hadn’t addressed the trauma that I began my true recovery journey.
That’s why I created the C-Section Recovery Method™—to guide women like you through recovery and help you regain empowerment and confidence, fully connected to your body.
