Motherhood is not something to Perform.
Dubai, UAE
Birth is not something to be managed.
Release the pain of the past and fear of the future ... and step into your POWER
Welcome ...
Birth is not something to be managed.
Motherhood is not something to perform.
It is something you remember.
I am Caridad Saenz —
birth doula, educator, and author of Birth of a Mother.
I support women and couples through pregnancy, birth, and the profound identity shifts that come with becoming — and being — a mother.
My work is rooted in presence, restraint, and trust in the body’s innate intelligence. Not fixing. Not rushing. Not overriding.
But listening long enough for wisdom to emerge.
Work With Me
Birth support, pregnancy preparation, and integration work for women and couples seeking grounded, human-centered care.
Read the Book
Birth of a Mother — a reflective, intimate exploration of motherhood as a remembering, not a role.
Learn
Courses, workshops, and teachings that center embodiment, discernment, and trust — not performance or certification.
Writings
Essays and reflections on birth, motherhood, and the quiet work of returning to oneself.
A Note to the Mother Reading This....
You do not need to be fixed.
You do not need to be braver.
You do not need to do this perfectly.
You need to be met.
If something in you softened while reading this, trust that.
