Experiences of the Herrmann´s about Dolphin Therapy Antalya (Turkey)

Thanks to your help we were able to undertake dolphin therapy in Antalya for our son Nico this year. Your dolphinarium has been open since May and that is a good reason to inform you of our positive reactions.

After 3 hours flight we arrived in Dalaman, Turkey, on the 11.06.07. A transfer bus awaited us at the Airport that took us to the Antalya Resort Dolphin park through beautiful countryside, hills covered with stone pines. Antalya lies in a secluded bay in the middle of this wonderful landscape. The Antalya dolphin park is only a half hour from the town of Antalya. The Antalya dolphin park, a large Hotel complex, is set apart from tourism in the Nature Park of the Hisarönü Gulf.

Here we were welcomed by Axel and Elena Linke, who were to be our contacts during our stay. Read the rest of this entry »

Letter From Boz Family

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Dear Helena, Barbara, Flor

Dear Axel and everyone else in the team,

this year we visited you for the second time (2008 und 2009) with our son Feyzi. At first we were quite sceptical but at the same time we had great expectations. Would Feyzi benefit from the therapy or not?

For both of the stays in Antalya with you we would like to thank you with this Mail for the professional but also friendly support you gave us.

Saying this we mean really everybody in your team that brought by a successful therapy. At the same time we hope that our therapy report will help other parents to come to their decision. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Hello Barbara,

at long last I found time at the weekend to write down our therapy report. If there are any more changes then naturally I’ll let you know.
😉

We’re having a really fun time with Jessica at the moment – and she is so cheeky too!

Yesterday she threw me out of her Grandma’s saying that she had decided to spend the night there. It is super how she can make herself understood. Read the rest of this entry »

Report from Hoofddorp about Kay’s dolphin therapy

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Written by Monique and Ferry

Monique and FerrySo here finally our report from Hoofddorp.

We waited a long time before writing our experience report about Kay’s dolphin therapy in August 2007. We wanted to see what effects it would have throughout the months following therapy.

Kay, a multiple complex disabled, 16 year old boy, experienced months of pain after a hip operation in June 2006 because of medical  egligence. Because of this, Kay lost all trust in his own body which led to muscle tension with a Scoliose-development of 65 degrees. Read the rest of this entry »

Report of Leon Paul Kolodjezak’s dolphin therapy from 12.07.-26.07.08

Hey, as promised this is the therapy report from Leon’s 1st. dolphin therapy from 12.07.-26.07 in the Antalya dolphin therapy center .

Your dolphin therapy center is very nice, you are a great team, very nice and competent.
We have never been in turkey, but Antalya is a beautiful place. The city itself has a lot of tourism, hotel next to hotel. We were very happy with our hotel Grand Yacizi Mares. The food was great, location was not in the city center, but directly on the sea-front.

All great things to start a dolphin therapy!

We were nervous to see how Leon would handle the flight, but he flew as if he had never been doing anything else!

Written by Tina & Len Kuhn

Maxi’s second dolphin therapy in Antalya, Turkey from 16.6 until 7.7.2008

After the positive experiences from last year (Sept. 2007) we decided to do another dolphin therapy. In the months after the last therapy, Maxi showed great progress with his head control.

Some info about our Maxi

Maxi was born on the 07.01.05 as a healthy baby and stopped developing when he was 6 months old. He is still like a “big baby”-rolls, but cannot sit, crawl, walk or speak. He has problems with coordination and perception. We also do not know how much he can see. A diagnonsis/cause for his mental and motoric developmental block has not been found yet, despite numerous medical examinations in and out of the country.

Dolphin therapy of Jessica Sophie

Experience Report of the dolphin therapy of Jessica Sophie Stock from 13. to 27. October 2007

Dear “Dolphin-Team“,

I am now sitting here and trying to find the right words to describe our experiences and impressions from October,but it is not that easy. Where do I start? Best to start with our daughter: Jessica Sophie was born July 2004 and was born two months early. Her health conditions were first attributed to her premature birth.

However, after a while we could not believe this anymore. A long period of physicals and hospital stays began. Then, beginning of 2007, the diagnosis: Coach-Syndrome. What is this?

It is a very rare metabolism disease, worldwide only 20 cases are known. Thus, there is not much experience with this disease, but the University of Washington in Seattle is currently researching it. So now we had a name for the condition of our daughter, but this did not really help us much. It was recommended that we do physiotherapy and early intervention with her.

Dolphin Therapy Experiences of Morstein´s

Dolphin Therapy Experiences of the Morstein Family from 4.8 -18.8.2007.

Hello,At long last we have found the time to let you know of our impressions of the dolphin therapy in Antalya from 4.8. -18.8.2007.

The journey to turkey was altogether quite without problems, except that the Airport at Stuttgart was not prepared for disabled persons. In Dalaman we were met and taken to the transfer bus. After a 90 minute drive we arrived in the Antalya Resort. After lunch we moved into our accommodation. 2 nice rooms next to each other. Christoph claimed straight -away the big “Wheelchair -suitable” room.
It was a shame that Christoph’s room had a 5cm high step that prevented the wheelchair from entering the bathroom. Also there were no hold bars in the bathroom. Read the rest of this entry »
