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 Kate on Feb 12
I cannot recommend Kristen enough ~ one of the best parts of my pregnancy care. From the moment you walk in, the space is spotless, calming, and welcoming. She has a gift for making you feel completely at ease and comfortable, which is everything when you’re pregnant. Her knowledge of prenatal massage, birth prep, and body mechanics sets her apart. Every session feels intentional ~ not just relaxing, but supportive of body balancing and helping you better understand your own alignment throughout pregnancy leading up to birth. And the anti-gravity prenatal massage table? Absolute magic. You genuinely forget you’re pregnant for a little while, which is priceless ~ especially in the third trimester when that physical relief is everything. Conversations with Kristen are always thoughtful and empowering, and you can tell she truly cares about supporting moms throughout their journey. Also… her birth prep massage oil smells like gods and herbs made a baby, seriously the most divine herbal blend ever.

Absolutely amazing! This is my third pregnancy and I’ve had prenatal massages in the past, but nothing compared to this one. I would highly recommend to any mamas who are looking for a relaxing yet effective massage!

Kristen was great and made me fell comfortable and relaxed the whole time! The session didn't feel rushed at all and she seemed very intuitive and knowledgeable about what spots to target most while still getting a full body experience. I will definitely be recommending Kristen to everyone I know for a prenatal massage!

Had a really good experience with my first pre-natal massage. Felt very comfortable and knew what she was doing.

Amazing! I felt so rejuvenated after my prenatal massage. She was incredible and knowledgeable and hit all the aches and pains one feels while growing life! The extra touches of hot stones and aromatherapy were such a pleasant surprise too!

Kristen was wonderful. I saw her 11 weeks postpartum and she worked out so much tension and tightness in my upper back from breastfeeding. I enjoy pretty firm pressure and she definitely exceeded my expectations. Even with the firm pressure and working knots out, I felt so relaxed the entire time I was on the table. Her space is very clean and peaceful. I can’t wait to visit her again!
