Our History
Every story of change starts with a struggle. Ours began with our founder's own battle with stammering.
"Stammering is not a disease but a deep rooted habit pattern."
"If you want to stop your stammering, don't just speak the words out. Simply breathe it out."
— Farooque Khan, Founder
From Stammerer to Founder
Heal Stammering institute is founded by Mr. Farooque Khan in the year 2016, who himself once suffered from stammering.
Those were hard times for him. He was often bullied by people around him for not being able to speak well. That led to severe anxiety and depression, which made him very shy and introvert.
2010 — The turning point
In 2010, his family and some well-wishers motivated him to work on his stammering. He started consulting different therapists, trainers and psychologists and began working on it seriously. On that course, he came out with different tools and techniques and started practicing with sheer dedication and discipline.
Real situations. Real recovery.
He realized that stammering cannot be overcome by simply sitting at home. So he started applying all the techniques in real-time situations — doing enquiries, facing strangers, group talk, participating in speeches, and giving interviews. Eventually, he was able to face any situation with zero or little stammering and emerged as a very confident speaker.
Helping others like him
After working on both the physical and psychological aspects of his stammering for around 2 years, he started meeting and helping new stammerers. In that journey he encountered people with different levels of stammering — mild, medium and severe — and realized that every stammerer has different requirements and cannot be trained with the same techniques. Some had speed issues, some had blocking issues, others had different patterns. So he devised different approaches for different types of people who stutter.
2016 — Heal Stammering is born
After working intensively on his and others' stammering for around six years, he started a full-fledged training program for all kinds of stammering — mild, medium or severe. That is when Heal Stammering institute was born.
Since then, we have been on a mission to help people overcome their stammering problem not only in India but across the globe.
