I am a case manager and I could never have done that without Del Ferro

I am a case manager and I could never have done that without Del Ferro

I did the Del Ferro stuttering therapy 30 years ago and it changed my life completely. I stuttered terribly and after 2 weeks I was practically rid of it. I read stories of people who relapsed into their stuttering. I didn’t have this problem because I kept doing the exercises after the therapy.

I gained more self-confidence and went back to school. Now I am a case manager for absenteeism at the municipality of Amsterdam. I could never have done this without Del Ferro. I will always be grateful to Ingrid for that!

If you apply the technique consistently yourself, you will have success guaranteed!

If you apply the technique consistently yourself, you will have success guaranteed!

I stuttered for years. As a child, as well as an adult, I attended speech therapy several times. Without success, where I was told: you won’t get rid of it, you have to learn to live with it. I had partly given it a place, but I noticed that I was struggling to convey information properly and I found that very irritating.

That is why I chose Del Ferro. From day 1, I seized this opportunity. The training and guidance is excellent.

Do not hesitate to do this.

Do not hesitate to do this.

I felt like I was slowly losing myself. As a teacher, I stand in front of the class and in conversations with students and colleagues, I noticed how often stuttering got in my way. That caused a lot of tension and uncertainty. But it really is possible to get rid of stuttering with Del Ferro. At least it was for me. You just have to be willing to practise.

The teachers’ stories were hugely inspiring and they explain everything in a clear and calm manner. In my opinion, the quality of the guidance and the method is excellent. Thanks to the Del Ferro technique, I can be myself again and express myself in a way that suits me. Whereas I used to dread sharing something or speaking on stage, I can now do so without any difficulty. I also no longer stutter when interacting with students and colleagues.

After 46 years of stuttering, the course opened my eyes

After 46 years of stuttering, the course opened my eyes

I attended the 5-day course in early July, followed by 3 follow-up days. We had a fun group and were guided by very knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainers! After 46 years of stuttering, the course opened my eyes and since then speaking has been much better.

I am not there yet, but by doing the daily exercises and applying the technique, I am making big steps every week. They also emphasise well that there is only one person who can change stuttering and that is yourself. As far as I am concerned, every person who stutters should go to Del Ferro!

Now, 3 years later, she still lives her life stutter-free

Now, 3 years later, she still lives her life stutter-free

Our daughter followed the stuttering therapy at Del Ferro. After 7 years of following other therapies. We experienced the process as tough. But with the right guidance and her perseverance we are still grateful every day that she followed this training.

Our daughter was very quiet, insecure and withdrawn. After the therapy she changed into a self-assured, happy bouncing ball. She also went to a higher level in secondary school. Now 3 years later she is still stutter-free. We hope that many more people will follow this training. You have to go for it 200%, but you get so much in return!

2 years of speech therapy never helped and a week of Del Ferro did

2 years of speech therapy never helped and a week of Del Ferro did

We went to Del Ferro with our 11-year-old daughter who had been stuttering for several years. After attending 5 days of stutter therapy, 2 follow-up days and 4 online follow-up sessions, our daughter speaks, reads and talks on the phone fluently.

She really learned a lot about using breathing techniques during speaking and we as parents also learned a lot. We are very grateful.

After day 1 I stopped stuttering

After day 1 I stopped stuttering

When I got an illness that made me very tired, I couldn’t become stutter-free with speech therapy. My circumstances were well taken into account at Del Ferro, because it was possible to follow the course online and 1-on-1. The material was clearly explained and Dennis’s experience helped enormously.

After day 1 I stopped stuttering. I had a hard time believing that claim beforehand, but it really is true. Make no mistake, the course week and the first two months require a lot of effort to make the method work. But it pays off handsomely.

I have done things in my career that I would never have dared to do otherwise

I have done things in my career that I would never have dared to do otherwise

I stuttered almost my entire childhood and was often bothered by it. I had various tricks to avoid words that I could not say. I had a lot of speech therapy, but they told me that I had to learn to live with the stuttering. I did not want this, after which I ended up at Del Ferro.

I was immediately sold by the great professional approach. You do need to have good discipline and the right attitude, but I got rid of my stuttering. I am now also head of a department of a large organization.

We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore!

We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore!

Our son followed the 5-day stuttering therapy at Del Ferro in 2023. It was a very intensive week in which he learned the method. But the real work only started in the weeks and months after that. Then you have to keep applying and automating the method. In those months he was still well guided to continue applying the method well.

We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore! The method gave him control over his speech and much more self-confidence.

Recovery is never one-size-fits-all; every body requires a unique approach.

With over ten years of experience as a physiotherapist, Hide has worked with top athletes in Europe and Japan, as well as with children, adults and elderly people with a wide range of complaints.

His approach combines Western physiotherapy with insights from Eastern medicine, such as Japanese acupuncture and therapy for the autonomic nervous system. This enables him to treat acute problems effectively and address underlying causes.

Whether it involves treating a footballer with chronic knee pain or a client with long-term stress symptoms, his goal is always to achieve lasting recovery.

Believe in what you do or don't do it

What’s inside can come out. But too often we keep ourselves and each other stuck in mediocrity and the hope of better times. Real leadership does not start with hierarchy, but with the realisation that everything arises from the quality you yourself add to every dialogue and interaction.

Collaboration is not just about knowledge, but about the art of connecting and mobilising. For over 20 years, Erik has been helping people and organisations to unlock their hidden potential and set it in motion, with the aim of personal or collective change and renewal.
