The people behind “delfine therapieren menschen“ are dedicated to their work heart and soul. We are absolutely convinced of the merits of animal-assisted therapy with dolphins for personal reasons and based on scientific findings.
The Board

Timm Fries
Chairman of the Board
“My motivation stems from the successes we see in therapy. It is deeply fulfilling to experience these small miracles and to contribute in small ways to improve the extremely difficult living conditions of the families. Volunteer work has always been part of my life. Throughout my professional life, I have continuously been involved with social activities, among others in the German School in Sao Paolo, Brazil. At present, I am part of the Board of a horse-riding club.”

Member of the Board
“I have been committed to delfine therapieren menschen for a long time. Years ago, in Florida I was able to see the therapies for myself with the people who are involved and take photos (I am a photographer). That convinced me of the cause, and I have never forgotten it! For this reason, I am happy to work on the board of the association.”
