Born into an Italian family and deeply connected to her heritage, Christiana’s path has taken her across continents, from placing in the top five at the WBFF World Competition in 2022 to her most recent triumph: earning second place in her category at the inaugural FMG Italy ProAm show. Held at Rimini Wellness on June 1, 2025—Italy’s largest fitness and wellness expo—this prestigious competition showcased elite athletes from around the world. Christiana stood out not only for her exceptional physique and presentation, but for the confidence and grace she brought to the stage.
FMG International is known for hosting world-class competition shows that celebrate strength, style, and individuality. These aren’t typical fitness contests—they are high-glamour, high-energy experiences that elevate each competitor. The organization is dedicated to rewriting the rules of fitness by combining muscle, glamour, and personal inspiration into one extraordinary platform. From the moment participants step into the spotlight, they are treated with respect, fairness, and the kind of energy that only FMG can bring. But the magic goes beyond the stage. FMG fosters lasting friendships, deep personal growth, and an empowering community where competitors walk away not only feeling celebrated, but transformed.
Christiana doesn’t just talk about strength—she lives it. As someone who manages type 1 diabetes, she understands what it means to train, coach, and compete with a chronic condition. Instead of seeing her diagnosis as a limitation, she has transformed it into a pillar of her platform. Through personal coaching and public education, Christiana equips her clients and followers with tools, strategies, and inspiration for managing the condition while living an active, empowered life.
