I chose to work here at the CDTC because I have seen the influence that this therapy has had on the patients who come here and undergo this process with us. Also, how much care and attention go into the dolphins [which for me is also super important] was a big factor in my decision to work here. Thus, to see with how much enthusiasm and love the dolphin trainers attend to the dolphins it was a no-brainer. I have always loved animals so the opportunity to work with these beautiful animals every day and to learn so much about and from them is truly a dream. The therapy style here is so different than what you are using in conventional therapy. The time invested in each patient and the work I see each therapist doing for every single patient is quite remarkable. It is this love and dedication to every individual that really makes a difference here at the CDTC. Being able to document this experience as a part of the Photo & Video department is one way, I contribute to making each experience here unique.

“As a medical doctor/family physician (graduated in 1980 at the University of Groningen) I am very humbled to be a part of this beautiful work of science, art and love for the benefit of all these participants, who deserve this so much!”

Why have you choose to work at CDTC?
I started as an intern in 2009/2010 in the dolphin trainer department. After a wonderful time it was time to go home again. I couldn’t get CDTC out of my head and after about a year I got the opportunity to come back and work as a dolphin trainer.

In which way do you contribute in making the difference?
I am a dedicated employee/person who is giving a 100% for the dolphins in our care.

“We are here to make the difference. That’s what we had in mind, when we started building CDTC. And that is what we carried forward. We’re making that difference for hundreds of participants every year, every month, every week, every day.”
