We took the first course of 10 dolphin therapy sessions. It’s the best form of therapy for children! I can tell for sure that even when sitting next to dolphins, I begin to feel somewhat differently. It’s a stunning spectacle. I, the mother, also received dolphin therapy while watching every session of my child, the way he swims and communicates with dolphins. At the first session, Kerim was anxious about the swimming pool (he can’t swim), but he wasn’t afraid of dolphins at all and was first to reach out to dolphins. After 3-4 sessions, Kerim stopped to fear water, thanks to our instructor Oleksandr. I would like to thank him for all 10 sessions, for his approach to our child and for all our achievements! I also would like to express my huge gratitude to the entire personnel of the dolphinarium. All of them are very amiable and attentive. Everything there is clean and in proper order. Very comfortable conditions for sessions. Dolphin therapy brings positive emotions only. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Nemo Dolphinarium!!! See you again!

Me, Vladislav Vitalievich Pilnitsky and my grandmother, Svetlana Pilnitskaya, would like to express our deep gratitude to dolphin therapy personnel, especially the instructors Yuri Mishkurov and Yevgeni and their assistant Alyona for warm hospitality and their ability to communicate with children. We have visited many rehabilitation centers for children, but no-one was able to establish contact with our child as quickly as they did here. Our child is overwhelmed with impressions, and we will definitely come back here again. We are also grateful to dolphins helping our children.

Dear Nemo Dolphinarium team! I would like to sincerely thank you for the treatment you provided, for your hospitality, excellent and kind attitude, and diligent work! We came here from the Society of Disabled Children in Astana, and are very satisfied with the dolphin therapy course. We are happy that you gave us an opportunity to undergo treatment. Our separate thanks to the instructor Marat and trainers for their patience and attention they paid to our son Alimzhan. From the very first minute, Marat was able to find approach to our son and befriend him, and we are very grateful to him for that. I also would like to express my gratitude to Oleksandr for his excellent and kind attitude and individual approach. He was able to fit himself in our schedule, helped us make convenient appointments and supported us in all possible ways with kind words and amiable attitude – something that can seldom be found in our times. And of course, our separate and deepest gratitude to dolphins! It’s amazing how they can charge not only our son but also us, the parents, with their astonishing energy! We are very happy that we came to this place! I wish your wonderful team prosperity, success and many happy patients able to cure their illnesses! My sincerest wishes of happiness and strong health!

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!

It was fantastic !!! I am glad that I got shiv for this . The therapist was a great guy who was extremely gentle and understanding with Shiv considering that Shiv dosn’t speak Russian they still managed very well !!! He is so happy to do this and will definitely do it again . I also feel he is more relaxed and calm post this so great for him.

For seven years, our son Anton, diagnosed with cerebral palsy, has been taking regular dolphin therapy courses. The first courses were at Nemo Dolphinarium Donetsk, but today, it’s no longer possible because of war. Presently, we continue our dolphin therapy courses, with huge pleasure and desire, at Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk every summer. We have already taken quite a few courses, and we can tell with great confidence that every course brings positive results contributing to our son’s development dynamics: - in emotional sphere, we note that every dolphin therapy session excites a lot of positive emotions in our Antosha; - in behavioral sphere, he shows activity, i.e. big conscious desire for dolphin therapy sessions. After every course, our child becomes more purposeful and diligent, his interest in playing increases, his actions become more confident, he responds to a contact with the instructor and animals, and listens to communication with him. When stroking a dolphin, he tries to unbend an arm and open up fingers at the instructor’s command; - in communication sphere, his communication and speech skills continue to develop: he pronounces new sounds, his visual contact becomes steadier, and he shows desire for constant communication and attention. After every session, Antosha is visibly relaxed, which indicates the lowering of muscle tone and decreasing hyperkineses, and displays satisfaction with therapy sessions. All that bears well upon his mood, appetite and sleep. We are grateful to instructors and trainers of Nemo Dolphinarium Berdiansk for all their labors! Our thanks to Lidiya Rubtsova, the head of dolphin therapy section, and of course, to dolphins – our friends and helpers! We wish all of you strong health, and are eagerly waiting to see you again the next year! During the whole year, we often watch the photos and videos of our sessions and shows. We miss you very much, because we got used to your company over all these years. Thank you for being with us and for helping ill children!!!
