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. Certified with Still Mountain Healer, Regina Callahan

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.
