Learn more about this little ray of sunshine:

————

Hello, I’m Lydia (she/her) – the doula behind Darling Sun Doula.
I believe that birth and early parenthood are sacred, tranformative seasons that deserve to be met with care, compassion, and calm support. My role is to walk beside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum – offering guidance, comfort, and encouragement so you feel seen, held, and empowered every step of the way.
As a doula, I bring a grounded, nurturing presence to the families I serve. Whether it’s creating space for you to breathe through a contraction, helping you find your rhythm in postpartum recovery, or simply listening with an open heart, my goal is always the same; to remind you that you are capable, powerful, and never alone.

Trying to conceive, pregnant or travelling with your family this spring break? Here are some things to help you always stay healthy and wealthy whilst you’re away.

set yourself up for success by ensuring that you are well hydrated, well nourished and supported before you go.

Your nervous system and immune system and can sometimes go a bit wonky when you travel, so nervous and immune system support can really make a difference.

Hydration is key in life but also when travelling. Take a reusable water bottle and consider taking some electrolyte salts as well, especially if you are travelling somewhere hot.

trying to find healthy food at an airport or on the road can be tricky, so pack some easily accessible finger foods and one hand snacks to eat on the go.

If you are flying, or taking long road trips, wear compression socks to help boost energy levels and reduce the likelihood of a deep vein thrombosis. taking pitstops or getting up and moving around at least once every hour will also benefit your mind and body

packing a home remedy first aid kit: think arnica gel, essential oils, plasters, rehydration salts and honey sticks (but check your destination to make sure you can take these into the country).

Happy healthy holidaying everyone!

We know that around 50% of pregnancies are unplanned but if you are in the 50% that is consciously and actively trying to conceive in the next six months these tips might be helpful to you.

These apply equally to men and to women as we know that s***m health is just as important as egg health.

In fact, s***m health has been directly linked to the health of your placenta And to adverse pregnancy complications such as high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia.

Number one. Cut out all alcohol from your diet at least three months before trying to conceive or as soon as you realise you are pregnant.

Number two. Cut out or reduce smoking, va**ng and/or any other recreational drugs at least three months before trying to conceive or as soon as you realise you are pregnant.

Number three. Reduce or remove as many hormone disrupting chemicals from your environment as possible. Think about household cleaning products, food, clothing, air fresheners et cetera.

Number four. An oldie but a goody: reduce your stress. If you don’t already have a relaxation practice, now would be a great time to start. You can do it as a couple or as an individual and if you can find one that also combines movement, Even better.

Happy – healthy – holistic.
