Jeanette Conery, Founder & CEO
Therapist, trainer, program coordinator, entrepreneur, mom, and wife.
In 2005, Jeanette earned her bachelors degree in Social Work, with a certificate in drug and alcohol studies. After a very short time, she found herself too burned out to continue in the Social Work profession. During ten years as a stay at home mom for her two children, Jeanette began to study meditation and yoga and gained a world of insight into how live a balanced life.
Jeanette first trained as a yoga instructor in 2015 and offered free yoga classes every Sunday at the Shalom Free Clinic. After learning to manage her own chronic pain and stress with gentle movement, relaxation, and meditation, she trained as a Yoga Therapist in 2017 and offered her services at Creating A Sustainable You for four years. In 2021 she began her professional journey as a small business owner in Chico, offering services to private-pay clients and donating free sessions to those in need.
Jeanette is passionate about educating people so they can empower themselves to feel better. After helping hundreds of people in the Chico community with chronic pain, stress, illness, and PTSD, Jeanette longed for a way to bring the many benefits of stress management to a wider range of people. She envisioned a company
that would effectively balance the need for affordability and profitability in complimentary and integrative care. By founding Chico Stress Management, Jeanette set out to advocate for equitable access to services for all people and living wages for providers. She envisions a world where employers and health care systems embrace the value of evidence-supported complimentary care to improve quality of life, workplace satisfaction, and health outcomes.
Jeanette enjoys training other professionals to provide effective, evidence-based stress management services, and she still offers private stress management services, group classes and workshops.
