Certified Professional Midwife in San Antonio, TX

Heather Hilton Johnson, LM, CPM

After working as a trained health professional and experiencing standardized maternity care first hand, I wanted to provide families with a holistic, gentle, sacred and safe alternative — one that far too many hospital births lacked.

In 2008, newly pregnant with my second child, I decided to not only hire a midwife for my own home birth, but to become one myself! I started supporting women through their labors and births, and I just couldn’t get enough!

In 2012, I traveled to Haiti where I volunteered at a high volume birth center, which enhanced my midwifery skills and expanded my heart in ways I had never imagined. In 2013, I became a NARM Certified Professional Midwife and a Licensed California Midwife, then soon began my own home birth practice.

In the summer of 2022, now a mother of four, I relocated with my family to Northwest San Antonio, Texas, where I opened Birth Bliss Midwifery. I am thrilled to provide the wonderful families of San Antonio with respectful, gentle prenatal care, home births, water births and the option of placenta encapsulation.

Testimonials

Heather was nothing short of a phenomenal midwife. She is present, emotionally and physically available, nurturing, skillful, and respectful. Her integrity and dedication to my agency over my body and birth experience was tremendously helpful. She is trauma-informed in her approach and holistically minded, as well as clinically knowledgable. She is truly now part of our family.

You gave me the perfect amount of encouragement, praise, and suggestions to keep me in the moment, in my body and in the realization that we were doing it!

Your patience, empathic presence, knowledge, skill and warmth through out my first pregnancy and birth allowed me to have the support and trust in myself that I needed.
