Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most important journeys, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s where a birth doula comes in. At Joyful Birth Services in Sousse, Tunisia, we provide professional, compassionate doula care to help mothers and families feel supported, informed, and empowered from pregnancy through birth and into the postpartum period.
A birth doula is a trained support person who offers continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during labor and delivery. Unlike doctors or nurses, a doula does not perform medical tasks. Instead, she focuses entirely on the mother’s comfort, confidence, and wellbeing. Studies show that women supported by a doula experience:
25–39% less chance of a cesarean birth
8% shorter labor times
31% reduction in the use of synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin)
10% higher satisfaction with their birth experience

Our doula services in Sousse are personalized to your unique needs. During pregnancy, we meet with you to discuss your birth preferences, prepare a birth plan, and answer your questions about labor, delivery, and newborn care. During labor, your doula stays by your side—whether at home, the hospital, or the maternity clinic—offering comfort measures such as breathing guidance, massage, movement, positioning, and reassurance. After birth, we continue to provide support with breastfeeding, emotional recovery, and adjusting to life with your new baby.
✨ Benefits of hiring a birth doula:
Continuous, one-on-one support throughout labor
Evidence-based information about childbirth, interventions, and your options
Reduced stress and anxiety during labor
More confidence for your partner or husband, with guidance on how to support you effectively
A calmer, more positive birth experience for the whole family
At Joyful Birth Services, our doula care blends professionalism with compassion. As a postpartum doula and lactation counselor as well, I can support you beyond birth—helping with breastfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.
