Alexander Technique and Mindfulness Guided Meditation and Hypnosis
Lilly Sutton, M.S.
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 other wholistic methods to help you address what matters to you and move forward with the life that you want to live.
What kinds of things would we work with in a session?
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! Clients have come for help with physical pain, stress and anxiety. Others want help coping with a major challenge such as cancer or grieving a loved one. Some need support during a major life transition, such a divorce or career change. Many want to improve their relationships, to be more present and to enjoy the moment. And others want help with a specific goal, such as preparing for a job interview, communicating more effectively, playing an instrument or sport more comfortably and powerfully, or eating more mindfully.
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
During our work, I will give practical guidance, but I believe that real learning, deep and long-lasting change, comes, not from logical information, but from within you, from your own experience. Rather than advising you on what to do or what to believe, I aim to create an atmosphere in which you learn to trust yourself and have our own “aha” moments.
