Welcome to Health and Wellness!
 
I'm Coach Gutierrez, Coach Guz, or Coach G! I'm the PYP Health & Wellness teacher and Meridian's Fierce Dance Team Head Coach. This is my second year at Meridian. I'm a Texas State University graduate with a major in Health & Wellness, minor in Exercise and Sports Science. I grew up in the DFW area, but moved south for school. Go Bobcats! I got married Jul 2023 to my husband Pablo. We love to spend time lifting weights, boxing in the gym, and finding healthy meals to cook at home. 
 
Health and Wellness provides a foundation of what it means to be your healthiest in all aspects of life. Emotional health, physical health, social skills, academic learning, and mental health. The students will have a great understanding of healthy living from every angle aligning with our Health and Wellness IB curriculum here at Meridian World School.  
 
I am SO grateful to be teaching a subject I am so passionate about. I am a big believer in if you are eating nutrient rich foods, consuming minerals from the earth, drinking your water, and moving your body, you will be HAPPY. Thank you to my students who make my job so effortless!
