Welcome

This is a space of serenity

  • End-of-Life Doula Services

    I provide emotional and practical support, helping to create a meaningful space for important conversations, offering comfort, advocating and facilitating necessary arrangements for a more conscious and peaceful end-of-life (EoL).

    My artwork offers a gentle refuge, a place to pause, reflect, and remain in the present moment. My paintings are deeply personal and explore themes of birth, death and rebirth.

Anne-Catherine Higham

I have spent the last decade in the Boston area, forging a community of friends, connecting with artists and growing a vibrant doula community.

I founded La Doula LLC in 2024 to serve individuals and families preparing for end-of-life, be they facing a terminal illness or simply planning for the longer term.

In 2023, I started The Doula Guild, a network for EoL Doulas and adjacent fields professionals. I lead this community to uplift and connect over 100 participants in person in the Boston, MA area, and online, beyond borders.

In 2022, I completed the University of Vermont EoL Professional Certificate, after volunteering for several years in hospice.

I graduated from McGill (Montreal, Canada) with a Masters in International Relations, and worked in economic development as well as a number of volunteer roles in the US and abroad.

People often describe me as warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and generous, sensitive and attentive, highly organized, and gently introverted.
