Meet Your Doula
amy hofmann
Welcome to Moon Dance Doula!
My name is Amy Hofmann, a full spectrum 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 got my start at the Danbury Hospital Doula Program, and have now moved on to my private practice as well as working with the Manchester Family Birthing Center. I have had the honor of supporting over 100 unique births. I am trained in Spinning Babies, an amazingly effective technique for making space for baby in your pelvis and therefore increasing the possibility for a faster, easier birth. I am also super excited to be offering a class called Prep 4 Birth that 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, empowered, and advocated for throughout this incredible chapter of your life.
Prepare for Birth & a Joyful Delivery
In March of 2025, I received my certification from 4th Trimester Fitness Method® as an instructor for their Prep4Birth® class.
This three hour workshop we will be physically and mentally preparing for labor and birth through exercise and relaxation techniques.
My goal is that you leave this class feeling confident, at ease, and more in tune with your powerful body through your birthing experience.
MY STORY
Why I love being a Birth Doula
I'm Amy, a passionate full spectrum 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 fascination 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 kind of 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, as well as helping you with the postpartum transition.
