You know the challenges of hyperventilation all too well. Perhaps you sometimes feel overwhelmed by a stuffy feeling, dizziness or accelerated breathing and feel like you are losing control. Or maybe it is a recurring problem that limits you in your daily life and saps your energy.
Dysfunctional breathing can be the cause of symptoms you may not directly associate with your breathing. Think of feeling agitated, chest pressure, fatigue, sleep disturbances, stress or even burnout. These symptoms can quietly take over your life and limit how you function and feel.
Perhaps you have already tried various solutions, such as breathing exercises or relaxation techniques. Maybe you have even been told: ‘Learn to live with it ‘.
But … you don’t want that! You want more than temporary relief or learning to cope with the symptoms.
You no longer want to feel fear of the next attack, no avoiding situations because you are afraid of what might happen. You want to breathe freely, without restrictions.
You have a deep longing for control and peace. For a life in which you can breathe relaxed again, even in challenging moments.
You are ready to get your breath and your life back. And that is exactly what we have offered thousands of students over the past 45 years. You are ready for the Del Ferro breathing therapy.
The Del Ferro Method is praised as a groundbreaking approach for those with breathing-related issues. The method focuses on training the diaphragm and regaining control over it. The result is a symptom-free life in every situation. Participants in the breathing training notice improvement from the very first session.
This unique method is not only effective but also revolutionary in the way breathing-related complaints are approached, addressing both the physical and mental aspects.
With a solid foundation in scientific research and over 13,000 students worldwide in nearly 50 years, the Del Ferro Method provides a lasting solution for everyone seeking a healthy life.
The breathing therapy consists of two parts. It starts with 3 lessons. This is followed by an optional follow-up course that ensures you continue to practise what you have learned. Until you achieve your dream: to be complaint-free in every situation.
Click on each lesson below to see what you will learn:
lesson 1
First, you start with a thorough inventory of your complaints by means of a questionnaire. Then you will receive an in-depth explanation about breathing: what is an efficient breathing technique and why chest and shoulder breathing often cause problems. You will also watch your breathing with the help of a ventilator.
This makes it immediately clear why you suffer from symptoms, such as fatigue and palpitations. These insights often provide a lot of peace of mind.
You will learn the exercise and training programme. Moreover, you will start working immediately to make the exercises your own.
lesson 2
Second , a week later during the next lesson, you discuss how the performance of the exercises went. You fill in the questionnaire again to see what degree of improvement has occurred. It also discusses what you did immediately after you experienced symptoms.
The mental aspect of your breating problems is addressed using the metaphor ‘The Flower’. All exercises are gone through again so that you perform them flawlessly. You will also learn new simple breathing exercises: invisible and inaudible techniques that you can apply anytime, anywhere.
lesson 3
In this lesson, you will learn how to phase out the exercises in line with the reduction of your symptoms.
Again, you complete a questionnaire to compare the results with those of the first lesson.
Finally, you have the opportunity to go deeper into questions or topics you want to know more about .
lesson 4
In this lesson, you discuss your progress. You go through the exercises again so that they can be refined where necessary.
You will also learn a visualisation exercise, combined with deep relaxation and mindfulness. These powerful techniques will help you find even more peace and control in your breathing and daily life.
Aftercare Program
A few weeks after your 4 lessons, you will have the opportunity during 2 sessions to discuss your progress and learn strategies to prevent relapse.
This ensures that you remain supported not only physically but also mentally in your process towards better breathing and overall well-being.
The breathing training for overcoming hyperventilation will be taught by one of the following teachers:

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.

From the Very First Session, My Symptoms Dramatically Decreased
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.

You do top-level sports together with Del Ferro

Just before my rowing competition, I went to Del Ferro. I had to row 7.5 km and control my breathing at the same time. I managed to do that perfectly.
I was considerably more relaxed during the race and also managed to stay well ahead of a rowing teammate who is 10 years younger than me. I now find it easier to cycle up the bridge too. And even the stairs are a piece of cake. Nice bonus, right?

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!

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!

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.
