Jasmin with the Angels of the Seas

Posted by in Dolphin Therapy News2 Comments »/

Seriously disabled girl from Unterspiesheim has returned from dolphin therapy

The presence of dolphins triggers joy, happiness, laughter and peace and has a healing effect on so many patients that before was held for impossible. The latest example is the progress that Jasmin Götz from Unterspiesheim, seriously disabled and blind, has made working joyously with the dolphins. The 17 year old has now returned with her parents Hedwig and Uwe from dolphin therapy in Turkey.

Jasmin’s mother is still feeling the effects of the two strenuous weeks in the Onmega Dolphin Center near Kemer, but her daughter has made very successful progress. The dolphins swim in azure blue sea water in a sheltered cove.

Hedwig Götz: „Jasmin has made a lot of progress. From the very beginning she adjusted well and was happy, she laughed and one could tell that she felt just fine. Altogether our stay there was absolutely great. Everyone was so friendly to us. “ Read the rest of this entry »

A lot of respect for the big animals

Posted by in Dolphin Therapy News,Media Reports,Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

From Alexander Heim, Werther

Respect for the big dolphinsCalmly Torsten Panhorst starts his Laptop, clicks through the programmes and begins to watch the film of his son Jan-Richard playing with the dolphins. When Jan hears the typical call of the big mammal he stops playing in the living room and races around the large dining table to see  »his« Frosia on the screen.  Jan, remarks  Mama Petra astounded yet again,  has never done that before. He has become a lot more alert through the dolphin therapy.T he fourteen days in Kemer, Turkey, were a great success for the  Panhorst family.

We didn’t mention the changes we noticed at first.reported Petra Panhorst. But it became evident even at school that something had changed”, said the 41 year old mum. Jan shows now, for example, that he is hungry. He fetches his bib on his own, remarked Papa Torsten Panhorst. If it isn’t in its usual place he even goes and takes it out of the cupboard.For instance when he fancies a piece of sponge cake, that he likes to eat. Read the rest of this entry »

Dolphin Therapy for Stephanie

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Written by Anita and Marcel Greuter

Thank you for the information about the second location. As promised we have managed, at long last, to send you a short report on our experiences: Already two months have passed since we were in Kas. For us it was a very intensive, but also a very pleasant holiday. At the beginning Stephanie was not too keen on Mischa or the Therapy. But this improved after four days and most of the time she didn’t cry at all with Mischa. Slowly she found it interesting when Mischa came to her. She liked swimming with Mischa and Papa best. ( see photos)

In Kas we noticed that she could swing her legs a lot more freely when sitting. She couldn’t do that before. At home this ability deteriorated a little. Probably something to do with the colder climate?!

Progress Report of Practical training in our Dolphin Therapy Center in 2009

—–Original message—–
From:
Hallo Baerbel,

Yes, I was in Turkey for six months.
I have been in Germany for a month now. I miss the time in turkey very much! But I have made plans to fly there next summer again.
The team is really great and we undertook a lot together and there were so many new experiences that I hardly had time to miss home. But naturally on a couple of days I was homesick. It was really super that my family and friends could come and visit. Read the rest of this entry »

Report from family Hinrichs

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

We had some wonderful experiences in Kemer, but we also learnt that we have a lot of work before us with Jona. Jona’s integration into a ‘normal’ life will always be a tough job.

In the morning there was always swimming with Daisy, with the therapist Barbara and the trainer Amy. We found it great that the dolphins were swimming in the sea. The many helping hands always helped towards a smooth order of events.

DT Report Ev Venice

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Hello Dear Dolphin team,

First of all we wish you a healthy and successful New Year. Also thanks for your greetings. The time goes by so quickly it will be a whole year this coming May since our daughter Ev Venice was with you for dolphin therapy. And we have sooo much to thank you for. In the meantime Ev has made a lot of progress and proudly still talks about you all, especially Barbara the therapist. This is why we want to enable Ev to have another therapy.

We have our holidays again in May and if you have a place free for Ev Venice from 16 May to 30 May 2010 that would be great. Since your dolphin therapy Ev no longer requires Ergo therapy or Speech therapy, just physiotherapy. Read the rest of this entry »

Report from Leon Paul Kolodjezak

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

So, a few months have passed by and now it is time for our report of my second dolphin therapy from 25.07.-08.08.09 in the ONMEGA-Dolphin therapy center in Kemer!!!

We liked the dolphin therapy center very much in 2008 and so we decided to go to Kemer again.

Everyone was really friendly and excellent in what they did, whether it was the therapists, trainer or trainees. Last year I was an exception because normally they accept only children from the age of two. I like animals and water so I had a great time and was impressed with  the trainer. I have made progress since the therapy in 2008 and this year I hope to make more.

Hello dear Team!

It has been a while since we were in turkey. It was a great and exciting time for us again.

This time the excitement before the journey was not quite so much, because we knew that everything is so well organized. Also we knew our Hotel ( Mares) from last year.

Sandra was excited about meeting Frosia and the Team. She was happy to see them again. Read the rest of this entry »

E-mail from Mix Family

Dear Barbara

There is no time for long e-mails just now.

At the moment we are happy about Frieda being able to support herself with her hands and being able to straighten her arms.

The stability of her back has markedly improved and so she can sit better, albeit with a little help.
We put these improvements down to the therapy and are waiting in suspense for further developments.
