    "An inspiring book about love in its purest form."—JANE GOODALL, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace 
 
 
 
When Melody Horrill arrived at university she was a troubled and lost young woman, hiding behind a carefully crafted exterior. She had experienced a childhood of emotional and physical trauma mainly at the hands of her violent father that was as damaging as it was brutal. 
 
 
 
One day Melody volunteered to help her lecturer monitor pods of river dolphins nearby. There for the first time she encountered Jock, a solitary dolphin with a maimed fin, who lived apart from the highly social pods. Melody was to form a bond with Jock that gave her the key to freeing herself from the demons of her own past, and their extraordinary friendship was the start of a long-term mission to try to save the river dolphins. 
 
 
 
Beautifully written and filled with insight and compassion, Melody's memoir details her life-changing friendship with the river dolphins, and how Jock helped her to heal.

    This audiobook is produced in collaboration with a qualified hypnotherapist and medical professional.  
Sleep hypnosis is a technique that uses hypnotic suggestions to help people fall asleep more easily and improve the quality of their sleep. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness where the individual is more open to suggestions and more receptive to positive changes. Sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to help people overcome insomnia and other sleep disorders. 
Sleep hypnosis works by using guided imagery and positive affirmations to help the mind relax and let go of any negative thoughts or worries that may be preventing sleep. A hypnotist or recorded audio program will guide the listener through a series of relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help the body release tension and prepare for sleep. 
Some studies have suggested that sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. One study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that participants who underwent sleep hypnosis had better sleep quality and felt more refreshed upon waking than those who did not receive the treatment. 
In conclusion, sleep hypnosis can be a useful tool for those struggling with sleep issues. With the right guidance and techniques, sleep hypnosis may be a useful tool for achieving a better night's sleep.
