2023–2024 season: European gold and Grand Prix Final silver
In the off-season, Hendrickx joined Stars on Ice for its Japanese, Canadian, and American tours, performing in North America for the first time.[61] After her difficulties during the previous season as a result of expectations, she identified the importance of "finding the love and the passion for the sport again also when I have to compete."[65] She began the season at the Japan Open, where her results mirrored the previous year, finishing second among the women and with the European team finishing third.[66]
Hendrickx began the Grand Prix at the 2023 Skate America, entering as the favourite for the title. She won the short program despite underrotating the second part of her jump combination.[67] She went on to win the free skate as well, nearly equaling her personal best in that segment and narrowly setting a new personal best total score (221.28), despite another underrotation call on her jump combination.[68] Hendrickx felt in poor condition going in the 2023 Cup of China, later saying "I didn’t eat well here, I wasn't hungry. I tried to eat but it was pretty hard."[69] She finished first in the short program, despite a quarter rotation call on her triple toe loop and singling her double Axel attempt.[70] However, she struggled in the free skate, coming third in that segment and dropping to third overall, albeit only 2.48 points back of gold medalist Hana Yoshida. She explained afterward that she "didn’t feel ready and confident. I had less energy. It was enough for the short, but not for the free."[69] The following weekend she withdrew from the Belgian championships, citing continued illness.
Upon her return to Belgium, Hendrickx "lost a lot of weight and muscles" as a result of the illness, and also injured her back training a triple Lutz jump. With physiotherapy, she was able to attend the 2023–24 Grand Prix Final, where she placed second in the short program despite a landing error on her triple flip.[72][73] Jump errors in the second half of her free skate saw her fourth in that segment, but she remained second overall, finishing 0.20 points ahead of Yoshida in third place. Fellow Belgian skater Nina Pinzarrone also qualified to the Final and placed fourth, which Hendrickx expressed pride in.

Hendrickx entered the European Championships in Kaunas as the title favorite, and won both segments of the competition to take the gold medal, despite a few minor jump errors.[74] This was the first European title for Belgium in the women's event, and the first in any discipline since 1947.[75] With Pinzarrone joining her on the podium as bronze medalist, this was also the first time two Belgian women had made the European podium at the same time.[76] Of the result, Hendrickx said "I have no words, I'm just so happy. I worked so hard. Now all the emotion's coming."[75]
In early February, in advance of the 2024 World Championships, Hendrickx received the Best Costume award at the 2024 ISU Skating Awards for her free program outfit.She dealt with a hip injury, as a result of which she modified her short program layout to move her jump combination into the first half. Hendrickx won the short program in Montreal, claiming a gold small medal and a new personal best score of 76.98. She noted afterward that this was her first competition in Canada, though she had performed there with Stars on Ice, saying she "was very excited. The crowd loved me and I loved the crowd." The free skate proved more difficult, with several jumps called underrotated and a fall on her triple flip. She was eighth in the segment and dropped to fourth overall, 3.34 points behind South Korean bronze medalist Kim Chae-yeon. Hendrickx discussed the stress of the event, concluding she was still "very proud of the short program" and that she aimed for and admired the consistency of eventual champion Kaori Sakamoto.
