Background

About Heather Vanmil

I tell stories that move people—and measure the impact they create. My work blends the art of narrative with the precision of strategy, turning ideas into campaigns that connect and deliver results. I am an author and storyteller who believes in the power of words to spark connection, inspire action, and drive meaningful change. My writing has appeared in The Huffington Post, YMC, West Coast Families, Urban Baby & Toddler, Healthy Family Living, and more, exploring themes such as fat phobia, chronic illness, mental health, feminism, parenting, and the intersections where these experiences meet. My debut publication was in BIG, the anthology released by Caitlin Press in February 2020. In addition to my work as an author, I lead marketing strategy for two impactful companies; Healthy Family Media - connecting families with brands and initiatives that champion well-being, sustainability, and community, and Deetken Impact - an impact investment firm committed to gender equity, climate action, and inclusive economic growth across Latin America and the Caribbean. Across both roles, I bring a unique blend of narrative-driven creativity and data-informed precision—crafting content that resonates emotionally while achieving measurable, mission-aligned outcomes. Whether through articles, marketing campaigns, or brand storytelling, I translate vision into narratives that inspire, and strategies that deliver. A multitasker by nature, I balance long-term vision with quick-turn projects, always keeping the heart of the story—and its impact—front and centre.
