Dolphin Therapy: Great breakthrough for Silas

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Written by Siggi Waidler

We have experienced 2 wonderful weeks in a beautiful environment.

It was a time that we will never forget. A super team – from Management, personal attention, Driver, Interpreter right up to the Therapists and Doctors (Physiotherapy and Dolphin Therapy) – friendly, helpful, one’s every wish was catered for!  It was the first Dolphin Therapy for Silas, our 12 year old foster child.
Due to past occurrences, the boy is extremely psychologically handicapped, he suffers acute anxiety, massive Auto aggression and an atypical Autism.

Our experiences are difficult to put into words, but because Silas has a Communication-help (Talker), here follows a small excerpt from his own words:

  • animals freed head for new knowledge
  • I brought old things out of my brain
  • it was very interesting for me
  • Mischel was very helpful
  • I experience lots of new things about myself
  • I will miss the animals very much
  • my thoughts are clear, my words better 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?!

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.

Full Therapy Story of Steinbeck Family

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

The therapy today was very emotional. Phil had a session together with Jenny (on the other side of the platform). She could just about put two words together and today she sang

Daisy, Daisy, dance with me, take both my hands, one up and one down and one time around, it’s easy ON HER OWN. Her mother Sibylle cried tears of joy. Now that was really something. Phil also was working well except that he didn’t want to brush Frosia’s teeth. Just now I went to the bathroom and I heard behind me Phil’s coming too’’ (yes, that was the voice of my son). And Phil’s health is a lot better… Read the rest of this entry »

Supplementary Report From Ms Wunderlich

Posted by in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/

Hello Barbara,

nice to see that you have included my report in your web-site.

Jennifer is really flourishing. I’m just starting to train her not to use nappies and she is complying really well. During the day she doesn’t need them at all. Sometimes there is a mishap but we are happy over the progress.

But the best thing is that she sings a lot. Often just on her own, but then I smile inwardly and it gives me a lift to see how she is developing.

I have recently even begun to play Memory with her. With a bit of help it works well. I am really proud. And she beams (more progress) because she will soon start school. No more play school. I give a broad smile back every time…..

So it is again proven, at least for me, what great success one can expect from dolphin therapy. Read the rest of this entry »

Letter from Razia, Ayub and Nura

Salaam Turgay

How are you? Well I hope after a busy summer – you are coming to the end of the season aren’t you?

Hello everyone – Barbara, Alejandra, Ramona, Irena, Rick, Ventura, Axel and everyone who remembers us.

Firstly I have to apologise for only writing now. I have been adjusting to being a stay-at-home-work-from-home mom. The time has just flown by and suddenly its been almost 5 moths since we were in Kemer. For us it feels like it was a life time ago but also like it was yesterday – we are very nostalgic and look at our pictures and talk about our time there all the time. We would love to come back again so we have to work on that plan. Read the rest of this entry »
