The Person Behind the Practice
Meet the Woman Guiding Beirut's Mothers Since 2017
Joanna Nawfal didn't set out to build a center. She set out to make sure no mother in Beirut had to face pregnancy, birth, or those first overwhelming weeks alone, the way too many still do.
She founded Sophia Maternity in 2017 as Lebanon's first dedicated pregnancy center — a room where mothers could ask anything and be met with answers, not judgment.
Today, she leads Motherhood 101, offers one-on-one breastfeeding consultations, and works as a doula through labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Her approach is simple: meet mothers where they are, give them real information, and stay close enough that they never have to wonder who to call.
Lebanon's First Pregnancy Center — Built on a Simple Idea
Founded in 2017, Sophia Maternity began as one woman's practice and has grown into a full center — now based in Monot, Beirut — built on the belief that motherhood shouldn't be figured out alone. Over the years, we've earned the trust of mothers from all walks of life, including well-known public figures and professionals who've chosen us for the same reason every mother does: real support, real answers, no judgment.
Today, Sophia Maternity is more than a center — it's a community. Alongside Motherhood 101, our flagship course, we offer breastfeeding consultations, doula services, and children's nutrition and first aid courses, backed by a network of mothers who show up for each other long after the workshops end.
