Patrick Wijdenes • Teacher

Patrick Wijdenes is since 1994 connected to The Del Ferro Institute as a trainer. He was introduced to The Del Ferro Method as a 13 year old boy and conquered his stutterproblem permanently.

His passionate, inspiring, and positive way of teaching makes him a loved teacher. His life’s purpose is to learn as many people as possible to speak fluently. His life goal is to help as many people as possible with breathing-related problems. He is a role model for the members of the course for the reason that he is stutter free for over 37 years.


My story

“From the moment I was able to speak I had to live with a stutterproblem.  For 6 years I have followed several therapies  where I hoped to be released from my problem. 6 years in vain. The search to overcome stuttering ended at Del Ferro at the Apollolaan in Amsterdam. It was there that I found the solution to my stutterproblem. During my first lesson I got the explanation from mister Del Ferro about his method. I didn't stutter a word anymore the moment I practiced it! Magic? To me it was because for the first time in my life I deliberately said something in a fluent way. I got a tool to control my diaphragm and to speak in a fluent manner! It gives a lot of satisfaction to teach our members of the course this method and to experience that they, like me, can live a life without stuttering. It's a unique method. Many therapies assume stuttering has to be accepted. This runs counter to my opinion. Stuttering can actually be solved permanently! Del Ferro's breathing technique also helps solving other problems. It is very rewarding to witness people leave our institute as a whole new person after following the training at The Breathing Academy."
