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
Regaining Physical Strength and Confidence
"After months of feeling disconnected from my body 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 and 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.
