Michelle Desormeaux Bio

She has held 3 State Pageant Titles and a National Title from her experience in pageantry and has been crowned Miss WBFF Bikini International and Miss WBFF Bikini WORLD. Michelle is also the Official Stage Manager for the WBFF; as you may have seen her backstage if you have competed and is now an Official WBFF Modeling/Posing Coach.

Michelle's coaching style focuses on bringing the uniqueness of the individual out and creating a natural perfomance for the stage. Which, in turn leads to confidence and ownership of the stage so a choreographed routine is no longer needed.

She also believes in coaching the Mental Game as well leading up to the competition and performance date. Self-Love, Confidence and Mental State are the 3 ingredients she believes make up the recipe for champions.
