Meet the Founder

John Gutierrez

Founder & Life and Wellness Coach, Matsu Wellness

Matsu Wellness was created from a belief that growth does not always begin with doing more.

Sometimes, it begins with slowing down.

With becoming aware of what is happening within you. With creating enough space to breathe, reflect, and understand what you truly need.

My degree in psychology, along with my study of human behavior, personal growth, the nervous system, and wellness, has shaped the way I see transformation: not as becoming someone completely different, but as becoming more aware of who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to move through life.

I created Matsu Wellness because I genuinely enjoy helping individuals. I believe there is something meaningful about supporting someone as they slow down, reconnect with themselves, and find a clearer path forward.

That belief became the foundation of Matsu.

I created Matsu Wellness as a space where individuals can step away from the noise, reconnect with themselves, and explore what comes next with greater clarity and intention.

My role isn’t to tell you who you should be.

It’s to listen, ask meaningful questions, create space for reflection, and help you uncover the insight that is already within you.

Through life and wellness coaching, guided reflection, and breathwork, I create a collaborative space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and identify meaningful next steps.

Let me be a part of your journey toward feeling more grounded, more connected, and more intentional in the way you move through life.

My approach is simple.

Create space to slow down.
Ask meaningful questions.
Listen inward.
Move forward with intention.

The Meaning Behind Matsu

A gravel pathway lined with small wooden fences on each side, leading through a park with lush, green trees that form a canopy overhead.

Matsu (松) means pine tree in Japanese.

The pine tree represents longevity, resilience, strength, and endurance. What makes it especially meaningful to Matsu Wellness is its ability to remain green and grounded through every season.

The seasons change. The environment changes. Yet the pine remains rooted and green.

That is the experience I want Matsu Wellness to create.

Life will always bring change, uncertainty, and seasons that challenge us. Matsu Wellness is about learning to move through those seasons with awareness, clarity, and grounding—while staying connected to who you are.

Through life and wellness coaching, guided reflection, and breathwork, Matsu Wellness creates a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and become grounded in what matters most.

Like the pine, you can grow, adapt, and move through every season without losing your roots.
