We are finally getting around to sending you a little report about the dolphin therapy for our Lutz. Three months have already gone by since our return, and daily life is again making full demands on us.
But what will remain forever are the wonderful memories of our time in Marmaris. To put it briefly: it was a huge success!
The day finally arrived in October 2019 when Lutz and we flew to Marmaris in Turkey. Read the rest of this entry »
Booked this treat as a 40th Anniversary present for my Wife, It is the ONE thing she has always wanted to do…..She/We were NOT disappointed. Following a talk by the Trainer in how to behave with the Dolphin, whose name was Jonas!!!
The fun began, I was allowed to attend her swimming with Dolphin session also allowed to take as many photos as I wanted too. The fun and emotions were endless…
Hiya all. We are back home safe & sound from our wonderful trip to Turkey.
Jayden had a great time with his new friends Daisy & Flip. He also had Osteo, Physio & “Hippo” (horse riding therapy).
The birth of dolphin baby Eva in May 2018 was a great delight to us. It is hardly possible to put into words how happy we are. We are glad to share the most beautiful pictures and backgrounds here on our blog for our readers. We hope that these pictures will put a smile on your face as well.
Karin Schöttner can barely describe what she was allowed to experience with her daughter Elena. “Elli”, what she is called by her family members, is heavily disabled since birth. The 13 year old can’t eat, talk or walk. According to Karin Schöttner, the dolphin therapy from two years ago was a huge success. Now, thanks to the help of her big sister and many donors, the dream of a second dolphin therapy came true.
On monday we arrived at home again. Unforunately, our fears came true, and Emily became sick. We barely arrived at home when the fever started, which was our introduction to the autumn holidays. But we still very much again enjoyed the time with you.
Now that we are back home for almost one week, we feel like packing our bags and coming back again. We felt so comfortable and Emily has progressed amazingly. Our physiotherapist here at home is totally in awe! Emily is much more relaxed through her legs, and her head control has also improved significantly. We are trying to apply the tips from Daniil and Yagmur here at home.
It has already been five days since we came back. How to put into words this extraordinary week and our experience with dolphins? It certainly is a difficult task…
The dolphin therapy first and foremost! Because that was the purpose of this trip. Because we hoped without expecting much. Because it was infinitely better than what we expected. Because it was just indescribable, because all six of us felt the effects!
It was very impressive to watch our three little guys, both anxious and excited at the prospect of meeting these large marine animals. Flip, Benoit’s dolphin, measures a little over a whopping 3 meters!
Diego, our youngest, would have happily waved us goodbye to go swim alone in the sea with Daisy “my own dauphin” as he called it. We watched him tame Daisy with incredible ease and learn to control his movements and impulsivity so as to not see Daisy swim away from him.

Our son Marvin is 11 years old and suffers from a spastic dyskinetic bilateral cerebral paresis.
After his first dolphin therapy last year, many successes were visible. That’s why we decided on a second dolphin therapy this year. Since then, Marvin can reach for things with more accuracy and his hands are now more open than fisted.
