Welcome!
I’m Lilly Sutton, teacher, coach, and founder of Appalachian Health and Healing. My work integrates the Alexander Technique, mindfulness, guided meditation, hypnosis, and my own wholistic methods to help you use your mind-body connection more fully, more effectively, and more enjoyably.
My multi-level approach forms a unique healing method, a method that addresses what is meaningful to you, that helps you to move forward and live the life you want to live.
While I do share helpful concepts, I believe that experience is the best teacher. Real learning, deep and long-lasting change, comes, not from logical information, but from your own experience. You don't learn to ride a bicycle from reading about the history of transportation!
Rather than advising someone how to think or what to do, I aim to create an experience in which clients can find their own answers, achieve their own “aha” moments.
Freedom
- Can you remember what it was like to run, jump, and play as a child?
- Would you like some simple skills for feeling less stressed and anxious?
- Would you like to be more present for others, and for yourself?
- Would you like some practical tools to relieve tension and be more at ease?
- Would you like to soften your belly, to breathe more fully and freely?
Lilly's Aphorisms
- Any problem is an invitation to learn.
- More awareness is more choice.
- Judging keeps you stuck. Acceptance invites change.
- Learning to listen is learning to love.
- Your body is a truth detector.
Benefits
Because I use a wholistic approach, the potential benefits are broad and wide-ranging. Sessions can simultaneously help you feel better, think better, act better, and even look better!
What kinds of things would we work with in a session? Clients have come for help with physical pain, stress, anxiety or low moods. Others want help coping with a major challenge such as cancer, grieving a loved one. Some need support during a major life transition, such a divorce or career change. And others just want to feel better function more effectively, such as musicians, public speakers, business leaders, and writers who come for performance coaching,
The benefits that you may experience include:
- Release excess tension that causes back pain, neck pain, TMJ, and more
- Be more centered and think more clearly, even in challenging situations
- Release self-limiting, unproductive patterns and find what works for you
- Be at your best and have compassion for yourself when you’re not at your best
- Stop focusing on what you can’t change and take control of what you can change
- Achieve relief from anxiety, panic disorder, and insomnia
- Breathe more fully, freely, and naturally
- Feel less stressed, more balanced and at ease
- Be more present for others, and for yourself
