About
Erin Oglesby is a CranioSacral therapist, intuitive healer and teacher with an office in North Glendale, trained in the Upledger method. Before bodywork she worked in humanitarian organizations and women’s rights advocacy. She offers in-person and remote sessions, including shorter sessions for infants and children, and teaches craniosacral trainings of her own.
Trained in the Upledger lineage (CST-T / CST-D).
Background
Erin Oglesby came to bodywork after years in humanitarian organizations and women’s rights advocacy. She says that work taught her that the deepest healing happens through reconnecting people with their own bodies. She is a mother of two boys and says that being a parent shaped how she holds space: to witness without fixing and to support without controlling.
She completed advanced craniosacral training in 2014 at the Great River CranioSacral Therapy Institute in Nyack, New York, under Dr. Ron Wish, then kept training with him for three more years and completed a one-year teaching apprenticeship. In 2015 and 2016 she studied Dynamic Body Balancing and Myofascial Unwinding with Dr. Carol Phillips, with a specialized focus on working with pregnant people, children and infants. She began leading her own craniosacral and healing trainings in 2018.
Erin describes her approach as listening and following the wisdom of the body, with no agenda, forcing or fixing. She works with light touch, about the weight of a nickel, and describes her work as sitting between precise physical bodywork (cranial and diaphragm holds, cerebrospinal fluid flow, fascial restrictions) and intuitive energy work. She says she often invites in spirit guides, ancestors and other supportive energies, and that craniosacral work can sometimes open a door to what might be called shamanic healing. She does not call herself a shaman.
She says she has worked with cancer survivors, people healing from trauma and abuse, people living with chronic pain, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation, new mothers and children.

These are the rates on Erin’s own website and online booking page as read on 30 September 2026; confirm them before booking.
What happens in a craniosacral session with Erin?
Clients lie fully clothed on a massage table while Erin uses gentle holds on the head, spine, sacrum and other areas, with a touch she describes as about the weight of a nickel. She says many people notice deep relaxation, warmth, tingling or emotional release, and that some fall asleep. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes and she follows what the body needs in the moment, so each one is different.
How do remote craniosacral sessions work?
Remote sessions are held by Zoom or phone while the client is at home, in bed, on the couch or in any quiet room. There is no touch: Erin guides breathwork and body awareness and describes holding energetic space. She says remote sessions can be as powerful as in-person work, and suggests them for people who live far from Glendale, have mobility challenges or prefer the ease of home.
Does Erin Oglesby see infants and children?
Yes. Sessions for infants, children and teens are 35 minutes and cost $135, and Erin adapts them to the child’s comfort, on a parent’s lap or on the table. Her website gives the range as newborns up to 13 years old, while her booking page lists the single session as ages 12 and under, so ask her which applies before booking an older child. Erin trained with Dr. Carol Phillips with a focus on pregnant people, children and infants.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. Erin says some people feel significant shifts after one session and others choose a series of three to six sessions to address longer-standing patterns. She says there is no prescribed protocol and that she checks in regularly about what feels right. Packages of three sessions are available at a lower per-session rate.
Is craniosacral therapy safe, and who should not have it?
Erin describes it as gentle and safe for most people, including children, pregnant people and people with chronic conditions. She says it is not recommended with acute bleeding, an aneurysm, a recent skull fracture or other acute intracranial conditions, and invites clients to discuss any medical concerns before a first session. This directory does not claim that craniosacral therapy treats any condition.
Where is Erin Oglesby’s Glendale office?
The office is at 1240 Viola Ave, Glendale, CA 91202, in the quiet Verdugo Viejo neighborhood of North Glendale against the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Erin describes a studio with soft lighting and comfortable linens, and offers filtered water and tea. Her website also lists a second office in the Village Birth space at 200 E. Del Mar Blvd, Suite 126, in Old Town Pasadena, which is booked separately.
