At the beginning, it was just an experiment. Dr. Sam Ridgway had decided to study bottlenosed dolphins. In the process he became the first vet to work full-time with them, to fully understand their physiology and to improve their medical care.

When you swim with Dolphins in the wild, they uplift your spirit, heal you in ways you had never thought possible, and leave a lasting impression on you that you will treasure forever. In this book, Olivia recounts her personal and professional adventure in Australia with the Dolphins. She describes the different methods she has used to study what she calls the Dolphin Within, that uplifting effect wild Dolphins have on humans. As a Neuroscientist, she studied human brainwaves, but also human heart rhythm before and after Dolphins encounters. She has found scientific evidences of and possible explanations for changes in human mind, body and spirit after such experiences. Reaching your Dolphin Within could free yourself of fears, phobias, addictions, grief, depression and more. Could the Dolphins be Doctors of our Soul? Could the Dolphins show us a way to speed up our evolution and live in a world of peace, love and respect for the planet?
