I Am Incredibly Glad Someone Recommended Del Ferro to Me
I Am Incredibly Glad Someone Recommended Del Ferro to Me
“Due to Long COVID, my breathing was highly inefficient. I was very short of breath, which kept my resting heart rate consistently above 130. In April, I started the Del Ferro Method, and the results have been tremendous! By changing the way I breathe, my shortness of breath has disappeared, and my normal heart rate has returned. This has given me so much more energy, and my recovery is clearly moving in the right direction.”
The exercises require discipline, but because the results were so rapid, it was actually quite easy. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Thanks to Del Ferro, I Finally Have the Confidence That I Can Overcome My Chronic Hyperventilation
During the very first session to overcome my chronic hyperventilation, I experienced a deep sense of peace and clarity in my mind. It is a feeling I cannot remember ever experiencing so consciously before.
I look forward to truly living again, without constantly having to wonder how awful I will feel the moment I step out the door. I can therefore highly recommend taking a training course at Del Ferro!

After a week of doing the exercises properly, I already felt so much better!
After a week of doing the exercises properly, I already felt so much better!
During my burnout, I developed all kinds of symptoms, such as heart palpitations and dizziness. I looked everywhere for help, but nobody could help me. When I came across an article by Ingrid, a whole new world opened up to me. I wasn’t going crazy—I was ‘simply’ hyperventilating constantly.
After a week of doing the exercises properly, I already felt so much better! Between two lessons, I experienced a relapse, but I was able to discuss it immediately and was given the right tools to ‘tackle’ it right away.

From the Very First Session, My Symptoms Dramatically Decreased
I was suffering from the effects of tense breathing: fatigue, a lack of energy, and poor sleep. Immediate results from the very first lesson! By doing the breathing exercises, I felt the tension melt away and my symptoms have drastically reduced. The training is highly expert and results-oriented.
The mental training is also immediately applicable in daily practice. I am convinced that I will continue to develop even further by doing the exercises consistently. I am incredibly glad I took this training.

Looking Back to Four Weeks Ago, I See a Completely Different Person Now
I suffered from stress and heart palpitations, and after just one session, I noticed a massive difference. I experienced a deep sense of peace in my mind and body, and I was finally able to sleep straight through the night—something that rarely happened before.
I had my final session today, and looking back at four weeks ago, I see a completely different person. I am incredibly grateful to the wonderful, kind people at Del Ferro for this.

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! I read about the Del Ferro Method on a forum, and I’m so glad I found it. After just the first lesson, my hyperventilation-related symptoms were virtually gone. And I really suffered from a lot of severe symptoms. My quality of sleep has also improved significantly.
The communication is also very pleasant. I highly recommend the lessons at Del Ferro to everyone. I also truly believe that this institute should be brought to the attention of doctors much more often. I am incredibly satisfied; I still have two lessons to go, and it has already helped me tremendously so far.

The Del Ferro Breathing Training is a method aimed at restoring a natural and healthy way of breathing through direct control over the diaphragm.
In contrast to many relaxation exercises, this training teaches you to physically control your breathing, which immediately calms the autonomic nervous system.
This training has been specifically developed for people struggling with symptoms arising from unregulated breathing. These include chronic hyperventilation, burnout symptoms, anxiety and panic attacks, persistent fatigue, and stress-related physical blockages.
Many methods focus on the rhythm or the sensation of breathing. Del Ferro works from an anatomical foundation: you learn how to use the diaphragm with technical precision.
By consciously training this muscle, you prevent the body from being trapped in a constant state of ‘fight or flight’.
The diaphragm is the engine of our breathing. During stress or anxiety, this muscle often becomes tense or constricted, leading to shallow chest breathing and associated symptoms. By regaining mastery over the diaphragm, the body receives a signal that the situation is safe, providing immediate physical and mental relief.
The goal of the training is to regain full control over your own body. You will learn how to halt an oncoming hyperventilation or panic attack at any given moment. This leads to a lasting reduction in stress hormones, improved sleep quality, and boosted energy levels.
Yes, with burnout, the nervous system is often overstimulated. The Del Ferro Method provides a practical tool to physically neutralize that overstimulation. It brings peace of mind by first restoring calm within the body, which is an essential part of a lasting recovery process.
