I still reap the benefits of Del Ferro stutter therapy every day
I still reap the benefits of Del Ferro stutter therapy every day
It has now been 2 years since I followed the 5-day stuttering therapy. I have stuttered since my youth. This mainly went in phases. During stress I noticed that it got worse and I no longer had control over it.
After years of stuttering therapy, I had learned some tricks. But the stuttering was never completely gone. At Del Ferro I started working intensively and seriously and I still reap the benefits every day. From avoiding presentations, I now give them effortlessly. I want everyone to experience control over their speaking again!

They are mega-good at getting people off stuttering
They are mega-good at getting people off stuttering
Last year at Del Ferro, I attended the stutter therapy sessions given by Patrick. I then started working with Dennis in the aftercare programme. Besides being very warm-hearted people, they are also mega-good at what they do: helping people get rid of stuttering.
They offer you the tools you can use to make something of it yourself. I really enjoyed both the course and the after-care and can’t remember the last time I stuttered!

After just the first lesson, my hyperventilation symptoms are virtually gone
After just the first lesson, my hyperventilation symptoms are virtually gone
Absolutely 5 stars for the Del Ferro Institute. Through a forum, I read about the Del Ferro method. I’m so glad I found this. After only the first lesson, my symptoms related to hyperventilation virtually disappeared. And I really had many and severe symptoms. Also, my sleep has improved significantly.
Communication is also very pleasant. I can recommend lessons at Del Ferro to everyone. And I also believe that this institute should be brought much more to the attention of doctors. So incredibly satisfied with this and I even have 2 more lessons to go and it has really helped me tremendously so far.

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.

Thanks to Del Ferro, I now have confidence that I can truly overcome my chronic hyperventilation.
Thanks to Del Ferro, I now have confidence that I can truly overcome my chronic hyperventilation.
During the very first session to overcome my chronic hyperventilation, I experienced peace and clarity in my mind. It was a feeling I cannot remember ever experiencing so consciously before.
I look forward to truly living again without having to wonder how I will feel when I step outside. I can definitely recommend following a training programme at Del Ferro!

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.

My daughter no longer stutters
My daughter no longer stutters
My 16 year old daughter has had many years of speech therapy and stuttering therapy, where the conclusion was that she just had to accept her stuttering. When we heard about Del Ferro, we began to hope that there might still be a way for my daughter to stutter less or even get rid of it.
During the autumn break my daughter took the course at Del Ferro. It was truly a revelation! She no longer stutters! She has become a completely different child, it is incredible to see how her self-confidence has grown and how she can now speak freely. Her possibilities for the future have increased considerably.

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!

After so many years of stuttering, anxiety and uncertainty with speaking, I can give Del Ferro nothing but full credit. I came across Del Ferro via the internet. What a top team.

I feel very confident and nice now. I can order anything anywhere and talking on the phone is no longer a problem. Don’t wait with your stuttering problem and go to Del Ferro. You will really get rid of it!

From growing pains and sports injuries to chronic pain and the aftermath of vaccinations or neurological disorders.

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.
Do you want to overcome stuttering for good? Or do you want to better manage breathing problems such as hyperventilation and burnout symptoms, or performance pressure as a (top) athlete? We also help teams to reduce stress and lower absenteeism due to illness.
In a no-obligation consultation, we will listen to your situation and provide personalised advice that really helps.
We explain how the Del Ferro method works and what steps you can take to achieve your goal. Calmly, clearly and concretely.

The 30-minute conversation takes place via an online video call, which is also possible in the evening.
Unlike ‘talk therapies’ or speech therapy, the Del Ferro method is fundamentally a physical training. We focus on the physiological source of breathing and speech: the diaphragm muscle.
By specifically training this muscle with our unique breathing technique, you immediately resolve the physical blockade associated with stuttering or the dysregulation caused by hyperventilation. This concrete method allows you to regain control over your body.

Our expertise is divided into four pillars:
Stuttering Therapy: Definitively overcoming stuttering and public speaking anxiety.
Breathing Therapy: Overcoming hyperventilation, burnout, and other respiratory-related complaints.
Corporate Training: Stress reduction, vitality, and absenteeism prevention for organizations.
(Elite) Sports: Optimization of oxygen uptake, improving physical condition and mental focus to achieve peak performance at the right moment.
Since 1978, we have helped over 13,000 students and professionals achieve their goals using this method.
The method is renowned for providing immediate results. All participants speak or breathe with complete fluency and calmness starting from the very first day.
You first learn to consciously apply the technique as a tool when under pressure. The ultimate goal is full automation. Following the training, you work towards phasing out the conscious application of the technique until you, in every situation, whether at work, during sports, or in social settings, automatically and naturally speak fluently or breathe with ease once again.
