You’ve already taken the big step to overcome your stutter. You’ve experienced how much changes when stuttering no longer dictates what you say, do, or dare to do.
But living completely freely is about more than just speaking fluently.
It is about letting go of the mental patterns that unconsciously continue to limit you: being too hard on yourself, fearing the opinion of others, trapping yourself in expectations, or constantly feeling like you have to perform.
This training is about taking that next step: moving from knowing you can speak fluently to truly feeling mentally free.
Top athlete and Del Ferro ambassador Jeff Tesselaar knows the physiological and mental struggle like no other. Before starting at the Del Ferro Institute, he couldn’t even utter two words in a row.
When a journalist asked him which took more effort, qualifying for major international tournaments or overcoming his stuttering problem, he didn’t hesitate for a second: overcoming his stutter required significantly more effort.
"At one point, I was more afraid of an interview after a victory than I was nervous for the match itself."

Jeff learned to control his diaphragm with the help of the Del Ferro method. Stuttering disappeared, but he discovered there was still a world to win mentally. He no longer wanted to stay in the background. He was naturally extroverted, but kept himself small for years out of fear of his stuttering.
To achieve true speaking freedom, he consciously pushed his boundaries. After the mental in-depth course:
Now, like a natural speaker, he gives fluent interviews in front of the NOS cameras and stands confidently among the world’s elite. Jeff proves that overcoming stuttering is fantastic, but mental freedom is what truly changes your entire life.
You have learned the Del Ferro technique and experienced that you can speak without stuttering. Still, speaking can sometimes evoke tension.
This is because your nervous system has been trained for years to perceive speaking situations as tense or threatening. The technique helps you speak freely, but your brain sometimes needs more time to fully trust that new experience.
In the in-depth course, you therefore take it a step further: you teach your nervous system to increasingly experience that speaking can be safe, free, and relaxed.
In 4 online sessions, together with Ingrid Del Ferro, you will bridge the gap between physical control and mental relaxation.
Session 1 | Recognition
The foundation. You learn how to directly connect with your physical foundation and leave behind the noise of the day (and your past).
Session 2 | Recovery
You deepen your use of the Del Ferro method. You learn to use the diaphragm not only during speech anxiety, but as a direct off-switch for physical stress. Within three seconds, you bring your nervous system back to a resting state.
Session 3 | Freedom
Stop assuming what others think of you. You learn how to stay confident and calm during presentations, networking events, or difficult conversations with managers.
Session 4 | Integration
The definitive shift. You stop the tense control over your speech and learn to trust yourself. You make choices based on what you truly want.
You automatically learn to speak fluently while simultaneously investing in your personal development and greater freedom in other areas of your life.
The online training is conducted by Ingrid Del Ferro:

During the basic training, the emphasis was on physical speaking technique. In this program, we address the mental patterns, insecurities, and perfectionism that may continue to linger in the background after the training.
On the contrary. Although we talk about the heart, the method remains firmly grounded. The program combines proven physical breathing training with insights from psychology and neurology on how our brain and nervous system react to tension. It is a practical training in being present.
No, you only share what you want to share. The focus is on learning practical skills that you apply directly in your own daily life.
The program is intended for everyone (from around 16 years old) who is willing to explore what truly lives within them. Whether you are a student, an elite athlete, or an experienced professional: the need to come home to yourself is universal.
"I want to get the most out of life. And I think I have the capacity to speak well; that I can tell a good story. I just want to do the things I enjoy. And I enjoy talking!"

Give yourself the inner peace you deserve. Take the step today towards a life where you not only speak fluently, but also live with confidence and joy.
