BodyMind Solutions offers a unique approach to dealing with persistent pain. I help you to change the way you think, feel and move so that you feel really confident to lead the life you want to lead. I provide an expert clinical assessment to help you identify the blocks that are stopping you from moving forward. I work with some unique hands-on techniques which improve how your muscle and joints work so that you can move more easily and feel in control again. Treatment will be complimented by a comprehensive Pilates based exercises schedule which you can continue at home. Alternatively, you may prefer to take the opportunity of having expert guidance in a regular studio-based class. In addition to these physical interventions, we explore how your thoughts and behaviours may be holding you back. I use some simple but exciting techniques which will help you to discover that you are able to achieve more than you believed possible. Working with me at BodyMind Solutions can change your life forever - and that's the view of many of my clients, not just me!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining the team at ADSS, a Kent-based charity doing vital work supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, for their Wellbeing Staff Coffee Morning.

Together, we explored the importance of relaxation and how it directly impacts both our physical and emotional well-being. For many of the incredibly dedicated staff, it was a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on how they might begin to prioritise time for themselves, even in the smallest of ways.
In such emotionally demanding roles, self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

I'm grateful to have been invited to lead this valuable session.
Thank you to the ADSS team for the warm welcome and for all that you do.

If you run a charity or a care-giving business and would like me to join your team to for a well-being session please do get in touch.

If you're dreaming of a career in Hypnotherapy and want more than just a certificate, you're in the right place.
At Body Mind Solutions Training Academy, we don’t claim to be the biggest or the glossiest training provider — and that’s exactly our strength. Our courses are intentionally small, personal, and supportive, so you’re never just a number in a lecture hall.
You’ll train in a friendly, informal setting with expert tuition, one-to-one coaching, and real business guidance — helping you feel confident to start working (and earning!) from the moment you qualify.
"It's been an amazing course with amazing people, thank you."
If you're ready to become a qualified, accredited Hypnotherapist and part of a community that truly cares about your success, come and join the Body Mind Solution family.
Spaces are limited — and that’s exactly how we like it.

In my last post, we explored how your nervous system can get stuck in survival mode — constantly scanning for danger, replaying stressful thoughts, and keeping your body in a state of tension, even when the threat is long gone. This is your body doing its best to protect you. But when survival mode becomes your default setting, it can leave you feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected… and stuck.
So, what’s the next step?

When we’re stuck in stress, our world gets small. We focus on getting through the day, avoiding discomfort, and just keeping everything from falling apart. And while that’s understandable, real healing and change require more than just coping. They require direction.

Identifying your purpose gives your nervous system something new to aim for — a reason to shift gears from mere survival to growth and healing.
Think of it like this: If you’re lost in a forest, panic and survival instincts kick in. But the moment you find a clear path or glimpse a signpost, something changes. You start moving differently. You breathe differently. Your body starts to relax, even if just a little. That’s what having a purpose does. It gives your mind and body a signal that there’s hope — that change is not only possible, but worth working toward.
Maybe your purpose is to have more energy to play with your children… Or to wake up feeling calm instead of anxious…Maybe it’s to start enjoying the little moments again…
Whatever it is, your why matters. It gives meaning to the effort. And when you know why you're choosing to change, you begin to shift from "I have to do this" to "I want to do this" — and that’s where the magic happens.

Purpose isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about lighting a spark of intention.
So today, if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I invite you to pause and ask yourself:
What’s my reason for wanting to feel better?
What will change in my life if I’m not constantly in stress mode?
What do I want to move toward, not just away from?
Write it down. Keep it somewhere visible. And let it guide you gently forward, one step at a time.
Your purpose doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. It just has to be true for you.
What’s your reason for wanting to feel better?
Drop a comment below or send me a message if you'd prefer to share privately — sometimes just naming your purpose out loud is the first powerful step toward change.
If you need any further guidance or support in finding your way out of survival mode and into a life that is true to you, drop me a message or contact me: sandra@bodymind-solutions.co.uk

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Our nervous systems, designed to protect us from danger, can sometimes get stuck in 'survival mode.
Recognising the signs of chronic stress is the first step towards recovery. Here are some common indicators that your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode:
• Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues, sleep disturbances
• Emotional Symptoms: Anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating, feeling overwhelmed, panic attacks
• Behavioural Symptoms: Social withdrawal, increased reliance on coping mechanisms (e.g., overeating, substance use), difficulty making decisions
The good news is that you can influence your nervous system and shift it out of survival mode. Awareness of these symptoms is the first step, and then recognising that they indicate that something needs to change is the next.
In the coming posts, we will explore ways that you can shift out of survival mode and move towards a more fulfilling and happier way of life.

Curious About Hypnotherapy? Want to Learn How Easy it is to Hypnotise Someone — Safely and Effectively?

Hello! I’m Sandra Hughes, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Physiotherapist and Amazon Best-Selling author. Together with my husband Tim, who is a Leadership and Business Trainer and Coach, we run the BodyMind Solutions Training Academy, based in Hythe, Kent.

No experience needed – just curiosity and kindness!

"I would recommend this course to others — it’s been a life-changing experience for me. You’ll not only gain a powerful set of tools to help others, but you’ll also learn so much about yourself in the process." – Jo Booth, former student of our Hypnotherapy Diploma Course.

What you will learn:
-What hypnotherapy really is (and what it isn’t!)
-How to guide someone into a hypnotic state
-Why this skill is so helpful for anxiety, confidence, stress & pain
-How this journey could change your life — and those of others

Well done to our 2024-25 cohort of students. It’s been an absolute pleasure to support them on their pathway to become Clinical Hypnotherapists and to inform them all today that they have achieved their Diploma!
Now the journey continues for them to share with others, the amazing changes that can be made with Hypnotherapy.

In the past, Hypnosis may have been portrayed as a theatrical spectacle or even something mystical. However, the May 2025 issue of BBC Science Focus Magazine confirms a transformative shift: scientists are now recognising Hypnosis as a credible tool for relief of anxiety and stress, and it is accepted as a valuable pathway to help break away from old, unhelpful patterns of thinking.
This renewed scientific interest underscores the potential of hypnotherapy in clinical settings.
As the understanding of hypnosis deepens, so does the demand for qualified practitioners.
If you would like to explore new horizons using the power of Hypnosis, then consider becoming an accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist with us at BodyMind Solutions Training Academy. Enrolment is now open for our next training course, which starts in September 2025, in Hythe, Kent.
