We strive to create the Ultimate
Water Therapy Experience
WE BELIEVE IN:
The Power of Water
When seeing, being in, near, or around water – it releases
Happy Brain Chemicals (HBC) Dopamine that help you stay mindful of the
present moment, clear your mind. and enhance the flow of oxygen to your
brain, which is an important factor in mental health and wellness.
At 2 Walk On Water, we provide preventive mental health solutions through
life-changing water therapy experiences in Oahu, Hawaii by intentionally
leveraging the therapeutic and spiritual values of water-based
activities.
That’s how we decided to focus our mission on 3 water activities to
empower you to improve your mental health and wellness.

The Founder Story
Water has a unique and profound ability to heal, a truth Wesley and Debora Stewart have championed through their impactful nonprofit endeavors. Starting with Urban Surf for Kids, they harnessed the therapeutic properties of water to aid foster youth, offering them a sanctuary where they could find solace and build resilience. This initiative laid the foundation for their work, highlighting water’s role not just in physical well-being but in emotional and psychological healing.
Expanding upon this success, the Stewarts established Every Kid Swims, broadening the scope to reach more children in need of water therapy. Their latest project, 2 Walk on Water, takes this concept further by focusing on veterans, first responders, and others experiencing severe mental stress. This initiative underscores the Stewarts’ belief in water’s healing power, especially for those coping with trauma and seeking mental wellness.
At the heart of 2 Walk on Water is the understanding that water activities are more than physical exercises; they are a form of mental and emotional therapy. The organization’s programs are designed to alleviate stress, anxiety, and symptoms of PTSD, offering a tranquil and rejuvenating experience. Through their work, Wesley and Debora Stewart have become pioneers in using water therapy to foster healing and resilience, making a lasting impact on the lives of those who have faced life’s toughest challenges.
