I’m James Hughes — coach, retreat host, and founder of The Realignment Project, a space built for nervous-system restoration, deep connection, and embodied change.
After twenty-plus years helping people transform how they look, my work now focuses on helping people transform how they feel.
I coach individuals, groups, and organisations who are ready to strip it all back — to reconnect, rebuild, and create real change.
No fluff. No bypassing. Just grounded, powerful work that blends science with soul.
Everything I do comes back to one thing: realignment — bringing the mind, body, and breath back into sync.
My approach weaves together:
• Strategic Intervention Life Coaching & NLP for mindset re-patterning
• Functional & Transformational Breathwork (Oxygen Advantage, BreathMasters)
• Cold-Water Therapy for nervous-system resilience
• Sound Healing & Somatic Integration for emotional release
When you understand your physiology — your breath, your body, your mind — you realise you were never broken, just disconnected.
Whether we meet in a coaching call, a retreat circle, or the studio, my intention is always the same:
To take you from overwhelm to wholeness — to help you remember who you already are.
Working with me is direct, honest, and full of heart.
I’ll challenge your thinking, keep you accountable, and make you laugh while doing the deep work.
You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, reframe your thoughts, and release what’s been holding you back — through both science-based tools and ancient practices.
This is modern personal development grounded in breath, body, and truth.
I’ve had the privilege of facilitating workshops and programs for:
Celtic Football Club · Aggreko · Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park · Suntory Global · Barclays Bank · NHS · South Ayrshire Council,
and I’ve presented at The Connect Festival Retreat.
From corporate boardrooms to mountain lakes — I hold spaces that remind people of what’s real.
Change doesn’t need to be complicated —
it just needs to be honest.
When you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start living on purpose, I’ll meet you there — holding space, guiding breath, and helping you realign with who you were always meant to be.

Coaching is an interactive experience where you discover the user manual to your own mind. the aim is to help you gain a new perspective on your life and beliefs that hold us back whilst challenging you to embrace a new way of thinking.
We work with multiple tools and techniques to support you in your every day life to help you travel down a path to the life you deserve.
100%! What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions, just like seeing a therapist but much more fun!
The time that you’re coaching really depends on the individual. Some people work on a 1 session basis to gain insight, others work with a coach over a period of time to gain momentum towards their goals or specific needs.
All of my service’s are assessed on an individual basis upon a initial 1-1 conversation & ensures your time with me is fully tailored to your individual needs.
