She found the solution in Del Ferro’s breathing training, which not only helped her overcome her own problems but also inspired her to join the institute. She got trained as a breathing specialist with Del Ferro. With her perseverance and winner’s mentality, Annick is a valuable teacher who likes to pass on her knowledge and experience.

Eva is the driving force behind Del Ferro’s unique approach to strengthening mental and emotional resilience. Her metaphor “The Flower” is not only a symbol of personal growth and flourishing, but also a powerful guide in life. In her 2022 personal book “The Flower,” she shares her profound insights. She highlights the complexity of life while emphasizing the simplicity with which to embrace it.

Eva trained Ingrid to apply ‘The Flower’ in all her mental training. When necessary, Eva offers individual guidance to trainees who want to overcome inner obstacles. She also provides attention and meditation training.

The way you breathe is a reflection of the way you are in life

Femke Merel van Kooten

Since 2020, Femke Merel has been an ambassador for the Del Ferro Institute. As a former MP, it is hard to imagine that she had a severe stuttering problem as a young girl. For years, she was unable to even pronounce her name, despite many years of speech language therapy. She achieved her dream of speaking fluently at 13 when she overcame stuttering with the Del Ferro method. Now she wants to put this dream within reach for everyone who stutters.

With all my love, I am committed to Del Ferro, because you cannot be who you are if you stutter
