Meet Your Doula

Welcome to Moon Dance Doula!
I am Amy Hofmann, a dedicated birth doula with a background in massage therapy. My journey as a doula is rooted in the belief that childbirth is a unique and transformative experience, and my mission is to provide support with a foundation in evidence-based practices.
I offer comprehensive preparation for birth, ensuring that you feel informed and empowered during your pregnancy and birth. I have been part of the Danbury Hospital Doula Program for a over a year, gaining knowledge and experience of over 35 births. I am trained in the Spinning Babies, an amazingly effective technique for making space for baby in your pelvis and therefore possibly a more efficient birth. I am also super excited to soon be offering a class called Birth Ball Basics which teaches expecting moms techniques that ready your body for birth.
I understand that this journey is both beautiful and challenging, and I am here to offer not only physical support but also emotional encouragement. I look forward to being by your side, ensuring that you feel nurtured, informed, and empowered throughout this incredible chapter of your life.
Prepare for Birth & a Joyful Delivery
Journeying through pregnancy into parenthood brings questions, fears and concerns about the unknown. As a birth doula, my job is to help prepare you for birth, both physically and emotionally, guiding you through the unknowns of your changing body and then your sacred birth experience.
MY STORY
Why I love being a Birth Doula
I'm Amy, a passionate birth doula with a rich background in massage therapy, a degree in psychology, and the firsthand experience of giving birth twice. Both of my births were uniquely beautiful, inspiring me to help mamas create their own individual birth experience. My massage background has inspired me to dive deeper into the understanding of the mind body connection in pregnancy and birth, as well as a facination of how our bodies work to actually push a baby out!!
One of my favorite purchases for this work is a model of a female pelvis-- I'm kinda an anatomy geek. I have always been amazed by the human body. Then throw in the concept of growing a human inside of our bodies, and the birth process???!!!!! CRAZY COOL.
The simple "AWE" that has overcome me as a doula brings tears to my eyes at every birth.
Our bodies are truly remarkable.
I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment and empowering women to embrace the beauty of their bodies and their innate wisdom of childbirth.
I look forward to supporting you throughout your pregnancy and birth.
