About Dr Judy Hinwood
Dr Judy Hinwood is an Australian teacher and chiropractic health professional by training. She is a highly experienced and respected clinical practitioner, and a seasoned coach, mentor, speaker, trainer, and author.
Where did Dr Judy’s knowledge come from?
Dr Judy and her late husband Dr John Hinwood taught Physical Education in Australia and overseas before completing Doctor of Chiropractic degrees in Canada in 1978. Back in Australia they established a successful and enthusiastic chiropractic practice in suburban Brisbane that became a model for many.
In 1983 Judy chose a natural wellness approach to reverse a very serious disease and heal her body. This experiential health journey coupled with her health qualifications and much study led her to a deeper understanding of how essential harmony is for true wellbeing.
The successful outcome of this combination of natural-based modalities was the genesis of a new approach to health care that she and John fostered.
With a thorough understanding of the challenges faced by health professionals, John and Judy created The Centre for Powerful Practices in 1991. Together with their mentoring team they have assisted a significant number of chiropractors and other health care professionals to balance their practice and life opportunities.
In 2011 Drs John and Judy launched the Stress Management Institute to deliver their proprietary Stress to Strength workshops and coaching. Specialising in a wellbeing-based approach to life, their teachings recognised that health has many factors; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Their coursework drove the understanding that for true healing all factors need to be in balance.
Dr Judy Hinwood is a Member of the Australasian College of Chiropractors and an Associate Fellow of The Australian Institute of Management. She has received humanitarian Awards in Australia and the USA, and other distinguished service awards. She was named World Woman Chiropractor of the Year in 2004 at Parker Seminars in America.
Following the passing of Dr. John in October 2020, Dr. Judy ensured that their work would continue by granting use of the materials to two of their graduates who have established The Hinwood Institute to carry on sharing this life giving knowledge.
Writing this for you has helped me start my necessary and different life; I thank you.
This is ‘My One Thing To Do’ at the moment.
With much love and respect,
Judy Hinwood, DC March 2023
