This was the fifth dolphin therapy for Stefan already. Stefan had meningitis and since then has had problems with concentration, communication and combination. Luckily for us, he has always been very ambitious and participated in every therapy. He especially liked the dolphin therapies of course. We noticed every time after about half a year that he made improvements, especially in combination like for example in math.
The therapy was planned great, the therapists and trainers were very nice and welcoming, the interaction with the animals as well. The combination with other therapies like craniosacral was also great, as well as the fact that we didn’t have to drive anywhere for them but everything was accessible from the hotel by foot.
It is unfortunate that this therapy is not recognized as such and that health insurance does not cover it at all. For Stefan, only these therapies as well as hippotherapy were successful because he was branded as autistic by school medicine, and there is nothing to help and as parents of such a child you are forced to either accept that or look for help yourself, and you can see that it was successful.

Sixth Dolphin Therapy for Stefan
Posted by Steffen in Therapy Testimonials on 07.08.2014No Comments »/For me it was already the sixth dolphin therapy back to back. It was a little bit exhausting for me because I was having either physiotherapy or cranial therapy afterwards. The therapy has always helped me very much after six months. Then I was also able to concentrate more easily and to improve my ability to learn. I personally always thought the therapy was super because I could do so much with the dolphins.

Dolphin Therapy from 7. May 2007 to 21. May 2007 in Marmaris
My name is Gerd, I am 46 years old and suffer from Muscular distrophy (HSMN II) since I was 5.
I have always been searching for relief from this muscle illness and at the beginning of this year I became interested in Dolphin Therapy. So I looked it up in Google. I read everything about dolphin therapy that I could in the whole net and compared the different offers. Axel and his team was at the top of the list. At the beginning of March I made an application and couldn’t believe it that I was able to come to Marmaris on May 7. This was just after the opening of the Therapy Centre. I thought about it for 3 days, but then I confirmed the date . Although it was only 8 weeks away, time dragged. But the date arrived ‐ 7 Mai 2007. Read the rest of this entry »

Marie´s Dolphin therapy
Posted by Steffen in Media Reports,Therapy Testimonials on 24.04.2014No Comments »/Artikel von SEBNITZER ZEITUNG, 21.10.2013, Autor: Katarina Lange
The half-paralyzed girl from Neustadt was able to swim with dolphins. The therapy shows its first successes.
Careful, this is crawling! Dolphin lady Daisy is tenderly tickling Marie’s feet. The half-paralyzed girl was able to work with specially trained animals in water in Turkey. They might see each other again next year.
The wet snout is tickling Marie’s feet. The six-year old girl is especially ticklish there. No respect is being paid to that. Marie is supposed to simply laugh.
