What you see on the outside is a figure suit, what you don’t see is the meaning behind mine. The meaning of the lotus flower I wear on my suit gave me the confidence, and it took A LOT of confidence, for me to put on my first suit, step on that stage and show myself who I can really be. Prior to being a fitness enthusiast and competitor I was in a dark place. Going through divorce and some depression. I was blessed with 2 beautiful children but during the pregnancies my stomach muscles tore causing Diastasis Recti and I absolutely hated my body image. I soon made a decision to become a lotus. Drag myself out of the mud and become a flower that would continue to grow and blossom. I was introducing to body building and my coach and team TNT and was able to step on stage. My suit made by Xela’s Customs represents my own personal struggle and my vision and I would never represent any other brand, as you gave me that confidence with my absolutely perfect suit!
