Anna
Hello! My daughter has Down syndrome, and she just completed the ninth dolphin therapy course in Odesa. We came here the first time in 2010, and the result after every course was a significant improvement. After sessions with dolphins, my child became more attentive and calm. Emilia likes to communicate with dolphins very much, and they have developed a true friendship. I also would like to thank the therapists who worked with Emilia – the whole team of professionals who want to help every child. My deepest gratitude to your center!

During the first course of dolphin therapy, we performed an electroencephalogram before and after the course. And the result was significant. Today we finish the sixth course, it is 60 therapies and according to our doctor's statement we are 80% healthy. A few more courses and they give us a certificate stating that the child is completely healthy. We are very happy about this!

Thank you very much for the job you do, for good attitude and excellent mood we received from your wonderful team during our sessions! Your dolphins are simply superb!!! Our special respect for them))) And generally speaking, we were very pleased with the professionalism of the rehabilitation therapists Yuri, Olena and Viktoria. Thank you very much!!! In our case, we have achieved not only psychological and emotional but also physical progress, as our Alyosha began to better hold his head and back, and his spastics decreased. We wish you continuing success and prosperity!!! See you again…

Our huge thanks to the dolphin therapy team! We are truly grateful for the job you do and for your love and warmth. We received a sea of happiness, and charged ourselves with positive energy. These were 10 days of bliss. Your team is very good. Our child would happily run there every morning, and began to pronounce words. The team who worked with us were Oleksandr, Viktoria and Olena Volodymyrivna – our huge thanks to them! We’re eagerly waiting for the next year!
Respectfully,
Olena Oberemok, Nonna’s mother

This year, we took a rehabilitation course at Nemo Dolphinarium in Almaty. We received a lot of positive emotions and a sea of impressions. The dolphins are marvelous, and the therapists (instructors) are wonderful.
At the end of the course, our child showed positive dynamics.
We will definitely come back here for another course of therapy. I would like to express my huge thanks to the Nemo Dolphinarium team!
