Als voormalig rechtsback van Feyenoord staat Geertruida bekend om zijn spel op het veld. Buiten het veld was hij voor velen een onbekende. That changed with the launch of тАЬKind van ZuidтАЭ (Child of South), an impressive documentary in which Lutsharel shared his life story with the general public.
GeertruidaтАЩs success story proves that it is possible to overcome stuttering. This makes him an inspiring example for the approximately 175,000 people who stutter in the Netherlands. With the help of the Del Ferro Method, it is possible to learn to speak without stuttering and with unshakeable confidence.
At Del Ferro, the unique Del Ferro Method takes center stage тАУ a groundbreaking approach praised worldwide. From the very first day of the course, students experience what itтАЩs like to speak stutter-free!

I would recommend this to anyone who stutters! Ingrid, Patrik, and the entire team are incredibly nice and really know their stuff. I stopped stuttering after just one day, and now, four weeks later, I donтАЩt stutter at all anymore.
ItтАЩs been an amazing experience, and the instructors are top-notch. Thank you!

We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore!
We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore!
Our son followed the 5-day stuttering therapy at Del Ferro in 2023. It was a very intensive week in which he learned the method. But the real work only started in the weeks and months after that. Then you have to keep applying and automating the method. In those months he was still well guided to continue applying the method well.
We are now 6 months on and our son has not stuttered anymore! The method gave him control over his speech and much more self-confidence.

The lessons I received from Patrick were clear and enjoyable. He explained everything in a calm and understandable manner, so that everyone immediately understood what was expected.
I also really appreciated that he takes the time to answer all your questions. In short: this course is highly recommended. It has changed my life!

With Del Ferro I managed to suppress the stuttering monster
In 2024 I followed the 5-day course in stuttering therapy. The teaching team empowered me. For me the choice was quickly made: either continue to stutter for the rest of my life with all the consequences or do everything I can to overcome my stuttering problem.
The Del Ferro method has become my weapon to suppress the stuttering monster. Thanks to Del Ferro I have found control over my diaphragm and I enjoy speaking.

Do not hesitate to do this.
Do not hesitate to do this.
I felt like I was slowly losing myself. As a teacher, I stand in front of the class and in conversations with students and colleagues, I noticed how often stuttering got in my way. That caused a lot of tension and uncertainty. But it really is possible to get rid of stuttering with Del Ferro. At least it was for me. You just have to be willing to practise.
The teachersтАЩ stories were hugely inspiring and they explain everything in a clear and calm manner. In my opinion, the quality of the guidance and the method is excellent. Thanks to the Del Ferro technique, I can be myself again and express myself in a way that suits me. Whereas I used to dread sharing something or speaking on stage, I can now do so without any difficulty. I also no longer stutter when interacting with students and colleagues.

Del Ferro also prepares you for misunderstanding and unrealistic expectations from a hurried and fast-talking society.

I joined Del Ferro when I was 13. By applying the method, I became increasingly fluent! But at the time, I experienced it as a kind of elite sport: it was quite challenging to apply it consistently in front of my peers.
Recently, I decided to return to the Del Ferro Institute for a film project about young people who stutter. I was struck by how PatrickтАЩs passion and enthusiasm remained exactly the same. He told me in all honesty how the course had developed over the eight years I had been away. During my observation days, I noticed that the challenges faced by people who stutter and course participants are recognised and discussed during the course. I see this as an essential addition.

As a 13-year-old boy, Patrick experienced the magic of the Del Ferro Method. A discovery that not only made him stutter-free, but also allowed him to leave his insecure self behind. He felt reborn.
Since 1994, he has been a recognized Del Ferro stuttering specialist, dedicated to freeing people from stuttering using the method that transformed his own life.

Unlike traditional speech therapy, the Del Ferro Method is, at its core, a physical training program. The key is mastering the diaphragm muscle to eliminate the physical blockage caused by stuttering.
But the method goes a step further: you learn to speak with complete fluency under pressure in every imaginable situation.
Through these positive real-world experiences, your self-confidence grows, and you will notice that speaking anxiety gradually fades away. Physical control over your breathing creates the foundation for lasting mental peace.
Yes! Our stuttering therapy is suitable for children from the age of 6. Because it is a physiological approach, training the diaphragm muscle through the Del Ferro breathing technique, children often master the technique even faster than adults. It empowers them to speak with confidence at home and in the classroom immediatelyтАФwithout the need for heavy psychological sessions.
The Del Ferro Method offers immediate results: our students speak completely fluently from the very first day of the course. You will first learn to consciously apply the unique diaphragm breathing technique as a powerful tool in every speaking situation.
The ultimate goal is to speak fluently and for the technique to become second nature. Once the breathing technique is integrated into your system, you will gradually phase out its conscious application. This ensures that, regardless of the pressure you may feel, you will speak fluently and naturally once again.
Various health insurance providers cover (part of) the cost of the training, depending on your supplemental insurance policy. As we are a recognized institute, we always recommend contacting your insurance provider in advance or reaching out to us for the latest information on coverage and reimbursements.
