SUSTAIN
Design the Next Version of Your Doula Business
A 30-day experience for established doulas who are ready to step out of the day-to-day, dream about what they actually want next, and create a clear plan for a business that supports their life.
Give yourself 30 days to get out of the weeds, look at what you've built, decide what you actually want next, and leave with a plan for getting there.
The way you’re running your business right now?
You can’t do it like this forever.
It’s not sustainable, you’re not as lit up as you were, and you know there’s a better way.
On one hand, you’re definitely not where you were when you started.
You built the business and…
✔️ deeply served women in your community
✔️ learned how to fill your calendar and make money doing work that matters to you.
✔️ became the doula people recommend
✔️ built a solid reputation in your local community
But somewhere along the way, you may have started wondering…
Do I actually want to keep doing it like THIS?
Maybe you don't want to attend this many births anymore.
Maybe your body is done with four overnights a week.
Maybe you want your summers back.
Maybe your kids are at an age where you don't want to miss as much.
Or maybe you simply know:
The business that got me here isn't necessarily the business I want for the next 5 or 10 years.
That's exactly why I created SUSTAIN.
This isn't about blowing up your business and starting over.
And it's definitely not about giving you 47 more things to do each day.
SUSTAIN is an opportunity to step back:
✔️ for your business to feel easier, streamlined, and more enjoyable
✔️ to look at the business you've already built with fresh eyes.
✔️ figure out what you want to keep
✔️ release what you’re ready to let go of
✔️ release what you’re ready to let go of
If you are over:
The stress of being on call all the time
The intensity of back-to-back births
The emotional tug-o-war you feel as you leave your family again
The physical toll of working lots of overnights
And the thought that you need to sign more clients to get to your next level when you just want some more downtime…
Then you and I have work to do together.
Hi, I’m Darcy…
and just because you’re called to help women does not mean you need to work yourself to the bone for the rest of your life.
One of my greatest strengths as a business coach is listening to everything you've built, everything you know, everything you're considering and everything you want from your life...
…and seeing the opportunities that you're too close to your own business to see.
Inside Sustain we ask:
Which opportunities have the potential to create the biggest impact, income and freedom without requiring significantly more of YOU?
Your business doesn't need to look like anyone else's.
The business model that makes another doula $100K/year might make you miserable.
That's why SUSTAIN isn't a formula I'm going to hand you and tell you to follow.
We're starting with your life.
What do you want your days to look like?
How much do you want to work?
Which parts of doula work do you never want to give up?
Which parts are you secretly hoping you never have to do again?
How much money does the business need to generate?
What have you already built that we could leverage?
And what would make this business feel sustainable for the person you are now?
Not five years ago.
Not when you first became a doula.
Now.
Are you ready?

“I got more out of 45 minutes with Darcy than I did in 6 months with my previous business coach!

"It’s amazing how fast I went from burnt out to lit up, with your help!"

“An hour with Darcy will change your life.”
— Kristin Yaroscak
It’s 2025: go-at-your-own pace offerings are what people want and need.
Don’t let doubt or impostor syndrome stop you from making the difference you’re called to make.
You can build your business to support:
✔ taking more weekend getaways
✔ paying someone to clean your house
✔ taking the *exact* continuing education certifications you’re called to (when you want and even if it means flying across the country on a whim)
✔ steadily reinvesting into your business in smart ways
✔ the best decisions for your health and family
I need to warn you about something else, okay?
See — there’s this place where so many of my clients get stuck...
They think they need another certification (or more years of experience) before they’re good enough to bring their digital offers to life.
But it’s not true.
That placenta encapsulation certification is not going to immediately translate into your dream business and life.
There are women that you’re meant to work with, serve, and impact in this world right now...
And they’re waiting for you to make it easier.
Hi, I’m Darcy Sauers,
and back in 2020, my thriving in-person postpartum doula business ground to a screeching halt because of the pandemic.
No one with a newborn wanted me in their home and my income dried up overnight.
I didn’t let that stop me from moving forward.
I used that experience as an invitation to powerfully diversify my income streams and set things up to support the life I really wanted to live.
The one where I can leisurely sip my coffee in the mornings instead of rushing out of the house...
The one where I could use the profits from my business to take my son on a dream trip to Spain (an actual dream come true).
The one where I was able to help more than one family at a time, each day.
And the one where I can work on a rainy Saturday so I could paddle board on the lake on a beautiful Monday.
I’m telling you...
Once you crack the code when it comes to digital offers...
A whole new realm of decisions and possibilities opens up to you in both life and business.
But there’s one more thing I need you to know:
It’s not enough to just create your course and digital offers.
You have to support them with proven marketing strategies that work so that your dream clients know you & your offer exists.
You likely already know this but I worked for 10 years in the advertising and marketing field before having 3 children and then becoming a postpartum doula in 2010.
I now combine my 10 years in advertising with my 15 years as a postpartum doula to help other doulas and sleep consultants build thriving businesses.
And I’d love to serve you next!
What Women Are Saying:
Victoria 4xed Her Passive Income During Our Time Together:
"I signed up for 1:1 coaching with Darcy because I wanted momentum for my business AND I GOT IT!
Even though I have a background in marketing, it's impossible to objectively look at my own business.
Darcy's insights and direction were very valuable!
She asked great questions, shifted my mindset, and helped me take my passive income idea to new heights!
My favorite perk of 1:1 coaching was the continuous Voxer support. It was wonderful to be able to ask her questions in real-time, as I was working on a project, and get her feedback - often the same hour!
Whether you're just starting out a doula business or you've been in business a while and need a refresh, 1:1 coaching will give your business the boost it needs!”
"Just finished a call with Darcy and I’m STOKED! I’m telling you, investing in myself and my business has been the number one thing to help me really GROW! If you’re thinking about it, just do it!”
— Kyleigh Banks, Birthworker.com
“If I hadn't worked with Darcy,
I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to launch my new membership program.”
— Emily Wannenburg
“Darcy is very relatable and easy to be with, and her leadership style is very bare bones. She's a mom. She knows how it is to juggle all the things. She’s relatable. And she gives real-life, practical advice with a little bit of a nudge when you need it. It's a really good balance, it’s beautiful.”
— Kelli blinn
MY PROMISE TO YOU…
“45 minutes with Darcy is worth a million dollars.”
- Lexi Zuo
I have a heart for women like you because I am a woman like you.
It’s deeply fulfilling to me to bring the wisdom, insight, experiences, and the knowledge I’ve gained into your business and life.
My promise to you is this: you are not just another number to me.
You matter.
Your work matters.
Your family matters.
And the families you serve matter.
Let’s speed things up for you!
Q: Darcy, I’m a seasoned doula — I’m getting older. I have tons of hands-on experience but I don’t want to work so hard physically 2, 3, or 5 years from now. Is this for me?
A: In my opinion, it’s a total tragedy for the world to lose your wisdom and experience. If you’re willing to be coachable, to try new things, to get experimental, and to implement quickly, I can and would love to help you set yourself up for Success Without Sacrifice.
It’s time to call the shots, to do the things you love, and to take exceptionally good care of yourself.
You could wait another year to take your passive income goals seriously, or you can get a jump on it with me in 2025.
It’s up to you.
The question is this: how hungry are you for change and growth right now? Space for 1:1 is limited.
Secure your spot today.
You have all this experience.
You have all this compassion.
You have all this incredible knowledge.
And if you burn out?
It all just disappears from the planet and you’re not helping anyone.
I know you’re not interested in letting that happen.
Remember:
You get to design your business.
You get to design your life.
I can’t wait to work with you!
See you inside!
— Darcy
