Heather Hill (she/her)
My name is Heather Hill. I live in Strathcona County and enjoy a combination of acreage and city life. I have an amazing and supportive family with a husband and three big kids!
As of Fall 2025 I returned to full time university studies, and I am enrolled in the Midwifery Program at Mount Royal University in Calgary, AB.
Prior to my life as a doula, I worked as a social worker for Children’s Services. My role then was to support families through crisis and often very sad moments in their lives; this role pushed me to be solution focused and to find creative solutions for individuals as they moved through major life changes. Unknown to me then, it was all training for my future role in birth work!
After 2004, I transitioned from professional life as a social worker, to mother, and birth worker. After having my third child in 2010, supporting my sister as a coach for the birth of her child, and my best friend for her planned VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean), I finally made the leap to birth work as my primary profession. In 2011, I completed my DONA Birth Doula training and became fully certified birth doula. I have not looked back since. My skill set has continued to grow and evolve. Beginning as a hobby photographer, I began building my photography skills so that I could document birth stories for my doula families. I have become a Certified Holistic Doula with Matrona Institute, a Lamaze trained Childbirth Educator, CAPPA trained Lactation Educator, Spinning Babies Aware, and a Hypnobabies HypnoDoula. I hold certification as a 200Hour Hatha Yoga and 85Hour Pre and Postnatal Yoga Teacher. I am a member of the Doula Association of Alberta
I see my role as a doula to be a personal guide on your birth journey. Prenatally, we spend time discussing the physical and emotional aspects of birth to inform decision making, so that you can make empowered and informed decisions that are best for you and your baby.
I will work collaboratively and professionally with your medical care givers, and your support people. Whether it is holding space, verbal affirmations, applying comfort measures, guiding birth partners in provide support, advocating, informing or providing a calming presence, I am there to fill in any gaps so you have a complete, fulfilling and positive birth experience.
As of Fall 2026, my availability for doula support is limited to one client per month, with preference for repeat clients or direct referrals from past clients. But please reach out if you feel a connection and want to inquire about doula support.
