Hi! It's nice to meet you...

I'm Kristen Woudstra, licensed massage therapist, mother of two, and owner of Oakland Prenatal Massage. I specialize in therapeutic prenatal and postpartum massage.


As a former doula, and childbirth educator, I naturally gravitate towards working with women and families during the childbearing years. From a very early age, I knew I wanted to become a massage therapist. I yearned to fulfill my dream of bringing health and wellness to my community through hands-on bodywork.


During my first pregnancy, I discovered my passion for working with pregnant and postpartum families. Shortly after my daughter was born, I became a birth and postpartum doula and continued my education and training in birth-related work. For several years I worked as a doula, childbirth educator, and WIC breastfeeding peer counselor.


In 2015, I was finally able to pursue my dream of becoming a massage therapist! I graduated from Irene's Myomassology Institute in February 2016 and have worked as a massage therapist ever since. I have gained extensive experience working in chiropractic clinics, health clubs, and in now in my own private practice. I also now teach the Prenatal and Labor Massage, and Infant Massage classes at Irene's.


When I’m not working, you can find me tinkering around the kitchen, hanging out at the lake with my husband and two kids, or at a local yin yoga class.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Wellness services

Kristen is very knowledgeable and attentive, and is a pro at finding all the knots & sore spots and getting them worked out. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a prenatal massage therapist.

My first prenatal massage with Kristen was marked by skill, prefect ambiance, professionalism, and she was easy-going. Highly enjoyable, thankful to have found her business. Will return in future pregnancies.

I’ve now had prenatal & post partum massages from Kristen and cannot recommend her more! She is so knowledgeable about what is best for pregnant & post partum bodies. She always made me feel so cared for, and is so flexible to accommodate anything I needed. Seriously best massages I’ve ever had!
