The Doula Guild was borne from the belief that the work of an end-of-life Doula thrives when supported by a strong network. In 2023, Anne-Catherine and Minda created the Doula Guild, recognizing that our own journey in the field was facilitated and became more meaningful as our connection to one another and to other Doulas, deepened.

As the circle of support expanded, we established monthly in-person meetings to foster conversation and collaboration, in our first Doula Guild Pod.

In early 2025, we created three more Pods to accommodate Doulas from across the greater Boston area to gather more easily.

Today, the Doula Guild is home to over 60 Doulas, with a regular schedule of monthly in-person and online meetings designed to connect, educate, and inspire growth within the community.

I am a Doula, an artist and Reiki practitioner.
