DIANA STEADMAN, BScN, RYT 500, RPYT

My name is Diana Steadman, and I am a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher and Birth & Postpartum Doula serving Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Winchester & surrounding areas.

With twenty years experience as a nurse, six years teaching yoga and two wonderful years as a birth doula, my journey in maternal health has been deeply rewarding. In 2023, I completed an intensive 300-hour yoga teacher training program at Awakened Spirit Yoga, which included specialized training as a birth doula and Lamaze educator. My passion for supporting expectant parents stems from my personal experience with postpartum mood disorder following the birth of my first son in 2006. From prenatal yoga classes, to childbirth preparation sessions in your home, I am committed to creating a nurturing and enlightening environment where expectant parents can feel supported, share their experiences, and prepare for the birth of their baby.

Before becoming a doula and yoga instructor, I earned my Bachelor of Nursing Science degree from Queen’s University in 2004 and spent ten years working in Public Health. My experience includes facilitating prenatal education courses and postpartum support groups through the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program. Although I am currently a non-practicing Registered Nurse, my background in nursing continues to inform my approach to maternal care.
