This is your village!
My Doula Village will give you the expert advice you need and the community you crave to help you on your path to growing a doula business that supports you and your family.
You’ve built a doula business that takes care of families. Isn’t it about time that it takes care of you, too?
You have inquiries.
You get referrals.
You love this work.
But you’re secretly wondering how long you can keep going like this, even though this work is your calling.
Called or not, back-to-back weekends away from home, long hours, and the stress of being on-call…
Of course it takes a toll on you and makes you second guess everything.
How can you sustain this?
What about your family?
Will you ever really be able to vacation again without the stress that you might let a client down at such an important time?
You’ve tried reaching out for help locally, but you’re not getting the guidance you need.
And you’re definitely at a point where you’re ready to make some strategic decisions.
If you feel:
✔️ the way you’re running your business right now is not sustainable
✔️ like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders
✔️ guilty that you’re missing moments with your family because you’re committed to serving your clients to the best of your ability
✔️ overwhelmed with all the options and areas you could focus on to grow
✔️ like you are getting in your own way
✔️ and you just wish you knew exactly what steps to take (and what should be on your checklist) so you can really shift things now

Expert business strategy to transform your business for the better.
Hi, I’m The Doula Darcy
and I’ve not only lived through the busy and stressful phase in my doula business but I’ve also transcended it.
After I figured out this whole grow your business without driving yourself into the ground thing, I couldn’t NOT gather up all the doulas and teach them what I’ve learned.
As a former marketing professional turned postpartum doula (who then expanded into a doula agency owner), I’ve since guided hundreds of doulas into more flexibility, freedom, profitability, visibility, and well-being…
Actually, My Doula Village is now an online home to over 100 doulas!

What doulas are saying about My Doula Village:
"The doulas I have trained, who have taken Darcy's programs, are busy - they’re getting more clients!"
-Krista Maltais, Advanced Postpartum Doula, DONA Postpartum Doula Trainer,
“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. In addition, connecting with other doulas from around the country has been beneficial in brainstorming and gaining perspective."
- Heather F., Dragonfly Postpartum Doula Care
“I am delighted to be a member of My Doula Village! As a postpartum doula completing certification, I feel as though I need more education, mentoring, and direction on business/marketing as I begin my journey to becoming a doula. The level of support from Darcy, and other group members is invaluable. I’m very thankful to be a member."
- Patti K.
“I’ve been a birth doula for 2.5 years now, so I feel like I have my feet under me somewhat! I went back and forth about joining My Doula Village, because I’ve been fairly successful thus far. Wow! I am so glad I joined, so far I have learned how to up my instagram game, and talked one-on-one with Darcy about how to add a gift card to my website. Each time I interact with My Doula Village, I feel invigorated to get back to work on my business and to push forward (working for yourself is a struggle sometimes). Thank you Darcy!
