“We have much to learn from animals and nature.
They ‘sea’ us in our truest form.
We are connected & must prioritize our harmonies.”

It all started when…
a humpback whale song touched her soul.
Dove Joans, known by many as "Dolphingirl", has spent her life "cracking the dolphin code" through connecting the study of cognitive sciences, marine biology, and animal behavioral work with the creative arts, healing arts, storytelling, and Nature.
Over 40+ years, her investigative research into wild dolphin communications revealed what she’s coined, The Dolphin Memory Movement from empirical evidence.
As an advocate and voice for animals, cultural heritage, and Nature, Dove focuses her work in telling important stories, teaching and explaining the science behind her advocacy topics, and coaching humans through behavior change that helps advance Planetary Peace.
