Girly girl? Obviously far from it. But still boasting every bit the gorgeous, feminine body, which was responsible for her not one but four incredible wins this past year in professional bikini and fitness competitions. The Dominican Republic born champion is a powerhouse on stage, using her past dancing abilities and love of performing to create a winning presentation style that sets her apart from her competitors. It%u2019s not just on stage though where India flourishes, but it%u2019s inside her head where she has the confidence and mental discipline to reach her goals and help others to do the same. When not traveling for competitions or for her sponsor, BSN Supplements, India is busy working as a certified professional life coach, utilizing all her life experiences to help her clients prosper and transform their confidence through believing everything is possible. Growing up, India expressed herself through dance, doing lyrical, belly, jazz, tap, pole, ballet, and being a cheerleader and then becoming a dance instructor. She later decided she wanted to join certain prestigious law enforcement agencies, but first needed to become a police officer, much to the chagrin of her mother. At just 5 feet, two inches, India proves that good things come in small packages as they say and tells us that she is, %u201cexcited every day. Life is good, and I celebrate it, my self-growth, accomplishments, and blessings every single day. I don%u2019t really get nervous, and if I do they are good nerves; I would say that happens when I compete.%u201d Let%u2019s just call that adrenaline and then call India for a private coaching session to learn how we too can have that kind of mental tranquility and strength.
