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.
Our Colin is 12 years old, autistic, suffering from Asperger’s Syndrome and became epileptic after emergency surgery following a severe accident in March 2014. Prescription drugs have not been able to reasonably control his epilepsy.
Against all expectations of his doctors here in Germany, Colin has well tolerated all therapies. His last epileptic attack occurred 10 days prior to our flight to Turkey and – knock on wood – it’s almost like a miracle, he has not had another attack since then !! Read the rest of this entry »
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. Read the rest of this entry »
For the third time I was in Antalya for the Onmega Dolphin Therapy with my 6-year-old son Maddox and, as always, we spent a wonderful time together.
Thanks to the therapies, a screaming child has turned into a totally balanced and happy child who enjoys life. He is much more concentrated, can grasp things, communicates and – incredibly – is able to walk with assistance, which is a great relief to us. Read the rest of this entry »

My name is Roy Kolmer from the Netherlands living nearby Den Haag. Me and my family were swimming in your dolphin therapy center in May 2016. Our stay was booked on the name of Harrie and Marleen Kolmer . I’m the son of these great parents!
What you don’t know is that I’m a Bosnia war veteran with PTSD and that I got wounded when I was 17 years old. Swimming with the dolphin means very much to me. Although I’m participating in a long time therapy for soldiers with PTSD this session helped me more than all the sessions which I have had in the last 15 to 20 years.
Dear Barbara, I would like to express all my thanks for the great work of you and your therapy team. This time I felt a real change for myself, not only that Dennis is more attentive but also for my behaviour in relation to him.
I got much more confidence in further progress and I feel very motivated to develope this creativity. I avoid to get influenced by my own environment. Many people pay to much attention to him. By giving more confidence to Dennis, I see a much more optimistic future for him. Many, many thanks to all you. Please pass all my wishes and thanks to Cynthia, Fox and other team members.
Best wishes Ute
