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 Antalya, 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 »
