Meet Simone

Simone Cannon
^{M.Ed, LPC}

Like many people my path to today has had many bends and curves.  I am thankful for it all even when I never understood what was happening.  I started as a youth pastor for my church while attending the University of Houston to become a teacher.  After teaching for a few years I went back to school to study clinical mental health to combine my love of teaching with counseling. 

After working as a school counselor and a licensed professional counselor in private practice, I began recognizing that after trauma, many mental health issues could be addressed if people had better mind-body connections.  I started recognizing that a more holistic approach was necessary and that by addressing both physical and mental aspects my clients could have a better quality of life.  I started focusing on health and wellness coaching to help explore lifestyle factors that can impact mental health, such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise. A health and wellness coach can help you establish healthy habits in these areas, which can positively influence your mental well-being. I started to Incorporate mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and stress management strategies into coaching sessions. By stepping into the coaching role with these practices, I can support my clients mental well-being by helping them cultivate self-awareness, reduce stress, and enhance resilience.

Stepping into the health and wellness coaching field has been two fold.  While I am licensed to practice counseling in Texas, I am able to practice as a health and wellness coach nationwide.   This has allowed me to move with my husband and our 4 kids to northern California and remain connected with my passion of helping others while being mobile for my husband’s career.
