Abstract: Let $ {\mathcal H_2}$ be the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of $ \mathbb{S}^3$ that preserve a Heegaard splitting of genus two. In this paper, we construct a tree in the barycentric subdivision of the disk complex of a handlebody of the splitting to obtain a finite presentation of $ {\mathcal H_2}$.
