Birth of a Mother
A Journey of Healing, Awakening, and the Sacred Rebirth of a Woman Through Motherhood
Motherhood doesn’t begin at birth.
It begins the moment a woman turns inward and listens.
Birth of a Mother is a deeply personal, poetic, and grounding exploration of what it truly means to become a mother—not in the clinical sense, but in the emotional, spiritual, and identity-shifting sense.
This book is an invitation to return to yourself while you hold others.
To choose presence over perfection.
To remember who you are becoming.
What This Book Is
Birth of a Mother is not a how-to guide.
It is not a timeline.
It is not a checklist.
It is a remembering.
Through intimate storytelling, reflection, and lived wisdom, Caridad Saenz shares how each of her six children became a teacher—revealing layers of healing, identity, and transformation that motherhood quietly demands.
This book honors motherhood as a path, not a role.
A lifelong unfolding.
A sacred initiation.

- The mother who feels both the ache and the beauty of becoming
If you’ve ever wondered:

- How do I stay myself while becoming a mother?
This book is for you.
What You’ll Find Inside
✨ Personal birth stories woven with emotional and spiritual insight
✨ Reflections on identity, lineage, healing, and belonging
✨ The quiet truths mothers often carry but rarely speak aloud
✨ A framework for understanding motherhood as a lifelong becoming
✨ Gentle invitations to return to your body, your voice, and your truth
Each chapter is a doorway.
Each child a mirror.
Each lesson an offering.
The Heart of the Book
At its core, Birth of a Mother is about choosing yourself—again and again.
Choosing to listen inward.
Choosing presence over performance.
Choosing truth over expectation.
Choosing love as a way of living.
This book reminds you that:
- You are allowed to take up space
- You do not need to mother perfectly to mother powerfully
- Your becoming matters just as much as your caregiving
Motherhood does not ask you to disappear.
It asks you to arrive.
About the Author
Caridad Saenz is a birth doula, educator, healer, and community mentor devoted to restoring the sacredness of birth and the wholeness of the women who walk through it.
Her work weaves intuition, trauma-informed care, ancestral wisdom, and embodied presence to support women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the profound identity shifts of parenthood.
Though she has written before, Birth of a Mother is her most intimate work—carved from years of lived experience, healing, and the courage it takes to tell the truth.
This book was not planned.
It was lived.
And it took years to be ready to share.
A Note from the Author
I didn’t write this book to teach you how to mother.
I wrote it to remind you that you matter in the process.
That your story, your healing, your becoming—
they are not side notes to motherhood.
They are the heart of it.
May these pages meet you where you are.
May they soften what has hardened.
May they remind you that you are not alone.
May you rise rooted, whole, and deeply supported. May you choose yourself without guilt. May your becoming be gentle—and true.
