Our dream came true and we look back to an eventful time!

From 03. – 17.07.2010 we were in Kemer , Turkey, in the Onmega Dolphin park. During the journey Max was very nervous and excited. We believe that he sensed that a great event lay before him.

Soon after the first few dolphin therapies Max was a changed person. He gained his sense of balance and just enjoyed himself the whole time. Read the rest of this entry »

Dolphin Therapy presents a exceptional opportunity especially for children but also for adults with special needs to find new ways to health and/or to alleviate their ailments.

Dolphin Therapy in Kemer

Background

In our Dolphin Therapy Center in Kemer, Turkey, we offer our patients individually concerted therapies. Contact with our dolphins plays a central role. But a complete therapy is important, which is why Hippotherapy in a riding school, Physiotherapy, Cranio-Sacral and Ergo therapy are integrated in our programme.

We receive many queries from affected parents as also from people interested in therapy. Now and then they are concerned or have reservations, this shows us how important it is to provide information and explanations with respect to Dolphin Therapy.

This prompted us to organize a free Dolphin Therapy webinar. We will give first-hand reports on this interesting form of therapy and provide insights and background to our methods of work.

Sabrina and the dream coming true of visiting ’’our Angels of the Seas’’.

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Report on my ever loving daughter Sabrina and the dream coming true of visiting “our Angels of the Seas”.

From our hearts to parents of a disabled child:

Heaven’s special child
There was a meeting a long way from Earth.

„It is time for another birth“ said the Angels up there to God, and this special child will need lots of love. Its progress will be very slow, achievements may not be apparent. And the people down there will have to take care of it.

It cannot walk, laugh or play like others, its thoughts will be of another world. Ignored by many people, as a disabled child it will always be at a disadvantage So let us be careful where we shall send it. We want it to have a happy and peaceful life. Please God, find us the parents who will master this difficult task for you.

They won’t know at first which important role they must play for this child who is very loyal and possesses a lot of love.
But soon the parents will realise their privilege in caring for this present from heaven. This precious charge, so gentle and mild, is heaven’s very special present. Read the rest of this entry »

Article from Newspaper Südkurier, 29.06.2010, Author: Liselotte Noth

Küssaberg – Nick Jerome’s lot and the call for help from his mother moved a lot of people to make donations for the autistic child from Dangstetten.

Dolphin therapy successfully completed: Nick Jerome, the six year-old autistic child from Dangstetten, made many small improvements. Mother Daniela Klein is happy and thanks everyone who through their donations made this therapy possible.

The donations were to help towards an expensive dolphin therapy and give the six year-old more quality in his life. The therapy has in the meantime taken place „And Nick Jerome has made a lot of little improvements“ reported mother Daniela Klein overjoyed.

The mother, a single parent, chose to seek help from the public. For the good of her child. „Because we would never have been able to afford such a therapy. But through just such a therapy so many improvements have been made in the development of autistic children.“ Daniela Klein wanted to leave no stone unturned and through her perseverence gained financial help. „Even from complete strangers“, said the mother visibly moved.

Private individuals, Clubs and Schools donated for Nick Jerome. And at last the day arrived that the boy was well enough to travel. Not so far as was at first assumed. Daniela Klein learned during her appeal of successful therapies in Turkey. And she readily chose this to save her son the eleven hour flight to America.

The journey was strenuous for both mother and child. „But a successful therapy is the only thing that counts“, Daniela Klein doesn’t look back. „Since the dolphin therapy my son is always in good spirits. He talks and sings. He is extremely fit and alert. He can even climb the stairs on his own without me having to carry him half the way. He can tolerate his medication much better – and he eats“, said Daniela Klein overwhelmed, who during the therapy had a big problem. Her son didn’t want to eat. Read the rest of this entry »

Our dolphin therapy with Marlies was a very pleasant experience.

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Marlies is a four year old girl who was born with the Angelman syndrome. This entails a mental and physical disability. Although her body is optically normally developed, she cannot sit by herself, she cannot crawl or make herself understood. With the help of the Lionsclub we were able to book an Onmega dolphin therapy for July 2010.

The flight to Dalaman and the transfer to Kemer – although nearly 2 hours – was without problems. In the Hotel Club Turban we received a very friendly welcome, everything was clean and tidy, the usual 4 star standard.

On the first day after our arrival we had the introductory meeting in the Therapy Center. We gained a very positive impression from the agenda and the way the meeting was held. We left with the feeling that the Onmega people were capable and really wanted to help, that they were professionals who knew what they were doing and that Marlies would be in good hands.

Dear friends,

For the first time, and in the hope of pairing, the Onmega Therapy Team in Kemer opened the gates of all three sea-water pools, which contain 3500 cu.m. and 15 Mio.L. of natural sea-water, so that all four dolphins were together.

Appeal to send Ethan to Turkey for therapy

Posted by in Media ReportsNo Comments »/

Article by newspaper The Press and Journal Limited, 22.11.2010, author: STEPHEN CHRISTIE

THE parents of a severely disabled north-east boy have launched an appeal to send the youngster for pioneering dolphin therapy in Turkey.

Six-year-old Ethan Scott, from Fraserburgh, has autism, epilepsy and suffers from extreme behavioural problems and was once described by nursery teachers as the most complex child they had ever taught.

His parents, Victoria and Robert, are now hoping to raise the £4,300 needed for the dolphin programme in Kemer, in the south-west of the country.

The course is run by marine biological psychologists and Mr and Mrs Scott hope it could make even the smallest difference to Ethan’s condition.

“If there’s even the slightest glimmer of hope we’re going to pursue it,” his mother said.

Mrs Scott, 26, added: “It was my mum who learned about the course during a holiday to Turkey.

“This time it will be far from a family holiday and we really hope it will make a difference.” Read the rest of this entry »

The 16 year-old Jasmin Götz

Posted by in Dolphin Therapy NewsNo Comments »/

The 16 year-old Jasmin Götz is physically and mentally seriously disabled and also blind

Jasmin Götz had a very unlucky start to her life. Even though a heart problem had been diagnosed shortly after her birth she was given oxygen over a long period on the grounds that she had too little oxygen in her blood. It was too much oxygen, though, due to her heart condition her little body could not absorb and produce it, says Hettwig, her mother. By the time the machine was turned off the brain was seriously damaged and Jasmin was blind. Since then she also suffers from so called Tetraspasticity. Read the rest of this entry »

Fund Raising Campaign makes Dolphin Therapy possible

Jasmin Götz from Unterspiesheim, blind, mentally and physically disabled, has returned home with her parents from dolphin therapy in Turkey. It has done her the world of good.

How the disablement evolved

Complications at her birth led to blindness and Tetraspasticity. (a condition affecting posture and movement, up to paralysis, due to overworking muscles in arms and legs – Greek = four) Jasmin must not only have constant care. To date she has had six operations, including on her heart and hips. Read the rest of this entry »
