Swimming with the Dophins

Article from Melbourne City Weekly, 1992.

Margie believes that our physical and mental well being are very important, as eating disorders may stem from emotional issues. Stress management is essential in today's demanding, busy lifestyles. Margie employs a powerful form of aromatherapy using essential oils and massage, which heightens the senses. It is excellent for stress management and total relaxation. Margie does not believe in diets, as she regards a healthy balanced lifestyle as being essential.

"You can still have your special treats, or that extra stubbie, providing you exercise that little bit more. It's like a pay system. You eat that little bit more, you exercise more," she says.

Choices and options, the time of day and the variety of foods are all taken into consideration. Taking everything in moderation and having a balanced lifestyle is very important. Margie follows her own philosophies and makes sure she takes time out for her own relaxation. This is where her special passion for swimming with the dolphins comes into it. Margie says that swimming with the dolphins is an amazing experience. Connecting and interacting with them in their own natural environment is an experience that everyone should have.

"Looking dolphins in the eyes is a moving experience. The old saying goes that the eyes are the mirrors of your soul - well a dolphin's soul must be mind-blowing," she says. "People should be made aware of the pollution in the ocean and to look after the nature and beauty that surrounds us. After interacting with the dolphins you realise how much this type of thing effects them. Unfortunately many people are careless."

Swimming with the dolphins is fun and safe. While you swim with them you can hold onto a rope, so you can float securely while viewing the dolphins playing and swimming underneath you.

Margie comments, "They are so playful and happy that you can't help smiling and you are guaranteed of a natural high. You will go away with a smile on your face and is a guaranteed stress release."
