What others say about Dr Judy’s group work
‘John and Judy create a warm, friendly and safe environment that encourages you to maximise the pearls of wisdom and tools gained from the weekend.
All practical and able to be used from right now.’
Linda Smith, Executive Officer, Gold Coast
‘I have known John and Judy Hinwood since 1997.
My wife Tracy and I have attended the Stress to Strength program and have applied the teachings in our life.
As high activity people, our ability to manage our circumstances and situations helped us build one of Australia’s largest charities from the ground up at a time of significant national stress, and be effective in supporting tens of thousands of people, and providing valuable hope.
We couldn’t have done it so thoroughly if not for this valuable training and support.
Thank you Judy for your ongoing commitment to these teachings.’
Charles Alder, Brisbane
‘I have known Judy and John Hinwood for over 20 years. I believe in the concepts and tools they provide because they work.
The Stress to Strength tool of clearing the mind and developing focus, the Universal Tool, is one of the tools I use daily. The tool anchors my staying present and being focussed. This tool was developed and adapted by Judy and when she demonstrated it I was so amazed at the simplicity. If I am facing a difficult decision or feeling overwhelmed, I use the tool and I am brought back to the present, with a clear focus and presence which allows me to complete the task. They have developed many tools but this is the main one I use.
Judy is a beautiful soul who is seeking to contribute and heal through her knowledge and skills. This knowledge has been hard won through dedicated effort, study and in the moment learning in life’s tough moments.
I have no doubt anyone who connects with Judy feels as I do when I am in her presence. I would encourage everyone to try the tools that she has developed, for 30 days, and see what changes in your life.’
Sheldon X, Public Servant, (Name cannot be used) Brisbane
‘From someone who considers themselves not too stressed and came along because their wife wanted to come … it was a great experience. The passion and love of the presenters and the knowledge and tools were an enlightenment. Bring on the stress … it now can be dealt with and cancelled out.’

‘I’m a professional with a complex and busy life. Stress, self-doubt and a lack of clarity often cloud my judgment and sense of self.
