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

by Courtnie on Nov 12
Enjoyed the massage and would recommend to any pregnant woman looking for some relief and relaxation.

Kristen was amazing! I loved the massage. She was attentive and helped and answered any questions I had. I felt great after! Thank you! Highly recommend!!!
by Amy on Sep 29
The best thing you can do for yourself while pregnant! Kristen is so attentive to what you tell her you’re struggling with and addresses it in just the right way through the massage. She even gave me advice on sleeping more comfortably and some exercises to do at home. Cannot recommend enough!

amazing massage, so relaxing and just what I needed! Thank you, Kristen!

I have been a couple times by the time I am writing this review. I cannot say how much I have benefitted from Kristen's massages. She spends time before each session going over current issues/discomforts I am experiencing and helping me troubleshoot things that could be contributing - such as recommending different sleeping support items which have vastly improved my sleep quality and comfort. I have already recommended her to my other pregnant friends and coworkers as she has significantly helped with my lower back and glute pains.

My postpartum massage helped relieve tension in my neck, shoulders, and back from feeding, holding, and caring for my newborn. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and much more like myself. I can’t wait to book the next one!

Excellent prenatal massage from Kristen. So much better than a regular massage. I hope to be back next month and can't wait!

I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant and Kristen took the time to listen to how my body has been feeling, provided a super comfortable environment for me to relax in, and provided the best massage I've ever had (pregnant or not). 10/10 recommend her and already booked my next massage with her!

Was recommended by a friend. Amazing first time! Everything was relaxing from start to finish. Kristen is very nice and pays attention to detail. Can’t wait to come back!
