“I now know 100% that you are a miracle worker! I cannot believe how much better my leg feels and it’s not going to sleep when I walk any more. I went grocery shopping today and it didn’t go to sleep. I went walking around my neighborhood for 20 minutes. It did not go to sleep. It’s still stiff so I need to stretch but I cannot believe it. I think the work helped the impingement on my sciatic nerve! I so look forward to future sessions with you and I think I finally feel for the first time in five years that I’m actually going to heal. Thank you thank you thank you.”

“I love Bob DeLuca. I stared seeing him in his practice in Sonoma after I had a car accident and had tried many other therapies. He was gentle, responsive, professional and caring. My back is so much better since I have been seeing him. Now I just need to go once a month for a tune up. His approach to healing is very effective!

“Bob is no less than a miracle worker with hands of light that could move mountains! When he puts his hands on me, I feel a sublime sense of trust and ease and with each session I have felt seen, deeply touched, renewed and awakened. It is difficult to describe exactly what he does, but I know, my body knows, that a very high being, with very high intelligence, is doing some very high (and deep) work on my soul via my physical form. I walk away taller, gentler, kinder and more in my skin, my heart a beaming star!!!! Bob is truly a master. Everyone should get "Bobbed"!!!

“After four left hip surgeries, the last being a revision hip surgery, I was informed by the surgeon that my Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus hip muscles had been completely destroyed by the original artificial hip. Months following a very difficult recovery process with limited ability to walk, a friend recommended I consult with Bob Deluca. Bob’s integrative manual therapeutic process combined with the Softwave electrohydraulic acoustic shockwave treatment has resulted in the extraordinary initial healing of my body. My mobility has returned with very little hip and back discomfort. Softwave’s advanced medical innovation combined with Bob’s compassionate soul, his unique transformative healing practice is unlocking my full potential to enjoy life to the fullest. Many Blessings to you, Bob!”

“I came to Maui in very bad shape. I had been in car accidents in 2004 & 2006. Both times I injured my lumbar disc L5-S1, severely. After the 2006 accident/injury, they told me there was nothing they could do. That I was permanently disabled. I had many "treatments". Including, but not limited to, cortisone shots, steroid injections, physical therapy, & tons of medications. I had become so depressed & even sick, due to all of it. I would walk on a cane most of the time & I was always in pain. I didn't want to take the medication anymore & I was searching for a solution. The doctors had told me that I "may as well get used to the meds, because you will be on them for the rest of your life". That was 2 years ago, & 2 years since I met Bob. I haven't been on medication since my very first treatment with him! Of course, my back will always be injured. But, I can walk. I am not always in pain. And I do NOT need medication or chemical injections! And I owe it all to him.”

For the 1st time, since treatments with Bob DeLuca, there's been progress in my healing from extensive abdominal issues resulting from multiple surgeries. My use of opiate pain meds have lessened and my base line chronic pain has dropped. I fully recommend this healer who is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and, above all, capable.

Bob is an earth angel and so gifted!!! I have been healing from a head injury that sent my nervous system into disarray and I've been to so many people. It was Bob who has been so helpful, truly the real deal kind of healer who can intuit what is needed. So grateful to have found him.

I have been suffering from a severe groin injury resulting in a nerve impingement causing my left leg to go completely numb and I couldn’t walk. I have tried everything both western and Eastern medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture and disc decompression therapy. Nothing corrected the issue until I started seeing Bob DeLuca. He went right to the injury location and started unfolding the layers of issues I have. After 6 visits I can walk with no numbness, less pain and I can finally start exercising again! We are not done but it’s the first time in 5 years I feel optimistic about finally healing from this injury! Thank you Bob and your healing hands!!!

I don't have words to express how amazing I feel, there's no pain & tension in my body and even my sleep was more peaceful. My belly isn't as inflated, my whole body felt overinflated and it's not today, and that constant feeling that I'm going to drown & starve is gone, having all those weird things heard & validated is a true miracle to people like me. To think of sibo as a brain thing is an epiphany. I can't wait to do it again, I'll work around your schedule. I want to be able to take the whole day off and maybe the next day too, 9th, 10th or 12th so far are open for me.

I have known Bob for years, and his work is simply miraculous. He understands then can tune in to the most deep and subtle layers of the body, and help release any trauma there quickly. I was present when his cranial work on a friend in a deep, non verbal, disassociated state brought the client back to a normal adult persona within an hour. Highly recommended!

I am impressed with Bob’s gentleness and incredible articulation of subtle cranial and spine work. I am a sensitive person myself and could tell during, and after that, his approach really supports deep levels of body integration. Not only is my neck more balanced and in no pain (which is what I went to see him for), but something extraordinary has occurred that I didn’t expect. I do a lot of dream work and am currently in psychoanalysis, with a large part of the work I do in analysis being dream work, so I tend to pay attention to not only dream content but how dreams appear. And I have to say, after one session with Bob, I noticed that my dreams have been extraordinarily vivid and clear, as if they have been turned into high high definition. I attribute this to Bob's neural and brain work on my neck, brain, and spine. I can sense he provided my neurology with a profound positive shift in connections which had this unique positive effect on my cognition and neural processing. I was shocked when I woke the first night from the vividness of my dream, such rich color, and it felt so alive. I so look forward to my next session!
