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 Mikaela on Sep 16
Seeing someone who specializes in pre/postnatal clients makes a difference! The special pad with a cutout to make room for my lactating boobs was amazing.

Kristen listened to my concerns and needs. I am beyond pleased with her service.

I highly recommend Oakland Prenatal Massage to anyone going through pregnancy. Kristen is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and skilled at making you feel comfortable and cared for. I left my session feeling deeply relaxed, and I had the best night of sleep afterwards. It was exactly what my body and mind needed during pregnancy—I’ll definitely be going back!

Highly recommend. Initially, I was a bit hesitant because of the price compared to cheaper local chains. But when I say it’s worth every penny I mean it. The massage is a highly specialized massage tailored to to pregnant women. You just cannot get this with any local massage chain. Everything from providing a pregnancy belly pillow allowing you to lay on your belly safely to her massage every specific muscle that contributes to pregnancy related pains makes the experience next level. I was having 10/10 pain for weeks that was getting no relief from even prenatal chiropractor adjustments. I finally gave this a chance and I regret not coming sooner. I scheduled one weekly for the next three weeks because for the first time, I have felt relief in my back pain! Thanks for being so patient, kind, supportive, knowledgeable and talented in your skills.

Kristen was very knowledgeable and super accommodating throughout the massage, checking in to make sure everything was good throughout. I wish I would have heard of her earlier in my pregnancy!

Loved my massage with Kristen and will be looking forward to my next one! Such a relaxing and comforting experience.
by Jannet on Jul 22
Kristen was amazing! She made me feel comfortable during the whole massage and was very professional. I was dealing with some muscle aches in my thoracic and rib area prior to seeing her. Kristen made sure to focus on those areas and I noticed a significant improvement after the massage. I highly recommend her!
