About Water Bird Healing Arts
Hope De Laney, Licensed and Insured Massage Therapist since 1999.
(State of Hawaii Lic. MAT7602)
I attended Seattle Massage School 1998-1999 where I studied deep tissue, Swedish and sports massage therapy.
I attended the Upledger Institute for CranioSacral Therapy, as well as Biodynamic Craniosacral modules focused on the body-mind connection, support for children, and somatic trauma therapies. I am in constant pursuit of continued learning and understanding of this amazing human experience. I spent four years studying a visionary approach to Craniosacral work with The Milne Institute.
I hope to always be learning and seeking ways to approach the incredible mystery of the human nervous system.
My very first memory as a child was of holding my grandmother's heavy feet, listening to instructions on how to relieve her pain.\I loved this role and it continued throughout my life, leading me naturally into healing work.
I suffered for years with headaches, chronic pain, depression, and fibromyalgia, along with a long list of other complaints that sank my joy for life. My suffering and the mystery behind my ongoing pain when I embraced and applied whole-body wellness to address stress and trauma through bodywork, nutrition, and movement. I hope to inspire that potency and possibility in you! Wellness begins when you decide! There is no better time than now.

I humbly offer these testimonials from clients who have received my work.
"As a healer I have had ample opportunities to experience various kinds of touch therapy. I have had the opportunity to work with Hope on two separate occasions where therapy lasted for approximately six to nine months at one week intervals. Never have I experienced the presence, intention, and thorough touch as I have with Hope. The efficacy of her treatments run far deeper than anything I've ever experienced as a Healer. And she is my number one recommendation for any and all ailments that require a deep, loving touch."
Momi Aiu, Acupuncturist LA.c. - Hilo, Hawaii
"I have had gobs of massages from many people over my lifetime. My time with Hope was far beyond what I experienced with others. She helped me so much with dizziness that I experienced for years. I have not had an episode since working with her. She is simply the best of the very best."
Margot Robinson, Artist - Kea'au, Hawaii
"I have worked with Hope utilizing her CST.
...After one session with her, my body drastically responded. Aches, pains, significant emotional releases. Following that I felt light, clear, one with my body, slept deeper, overall felt more peaceful and at ease with my mind and life around me.
After a follow up, some mindsets that had been stuck within seemed to float away, as if my entire body was at peace and saw situations in a different light. I'm a healthcare worker so we can be most picky and difficult. I feel safe and cared for in Hopes presence. Plus her work must be powerful as it initiates significant changes within. Highly recommended."
Amber Berg, Acupuncturist L.Ac. - Opihikao, Hawaii
