"I’m so glad I invested in the Postpartum Doula Academy! Since I’m not business savvy, it’s been invaluable to have Darcy’s expertise in marketing plus her experience as a postpartum doula as a guide to getting started in my own postpartum doula business. The modules are so packed with great information. It’s great knowing that I’ll be able to go back to rewatch them anytime I choose. In addition, connecting with other doulas from around the country has been beneficial in brainstorming and gaining perspective."

- Heather Fletcher, Dragonfly Postpartum Doula Care

Supporting new moms as a postpartum doula is the best job in the world! Join the Academy to get the mentorship you need to start working ASAP!
If you are a trained postpartum doula looking to do this work full-time, then you already know that you need a mentor to help you up-level your marketing to find more clients.
You have the empathy to hold space for new moms, but the technological side of business and marketing and social media is overwhelming.
You know how to do the work, but you are having trouble getting new moms to find out about your services.
And half the time, you also have to educate them on what the role of a postpartum doula even is!

The world needs you gently supporting new families so that they can heal, bond and have the best start in life. Spend your time sharing your gifts and expertise with these families and not worrying about how you are going to land your next client.
"Darcy's expertise about the media world and how to leverage that for your business is so rare to find among doulas and other birth workers. She's the perfect person to help other doulas build their own businesses!"
- Beth Ryan, Owner, Beth Ryan Media

Your Postpartum Doula


Darcy Sauers
Darcy Sauers

Since 2010, Darcy has built a thriving postpartum doula business in New Hampshire.

Prior to having her own 3 children and becoming a doula, Darcy worked for 10 years in the advertising and marketing world. She was able to replace her corporate income quicker than most new doulas do because of her previous career. Darcy now uses this experience to help other doulas and parent coaches build their own thriving practices.
