Carmina Valdez
I'm Carmina, though most call me Mina, hailing originally from the vibrant streets of Mexico City. As an immigrant, resilient spirit, and cancer survivor, I've learned to cherish life's every beat and rhythm.
Music and dance hold a special place in my heart as a powerful duo to release waves of happiness hormones. Since 2018, I've proudly held a certificate as a Zumba Instructor, channeling my passion for movement and rhythm into uplifting experiences for others. In addition to my love for dance, I've recently embarked on a new venture by opening an online store (Love Body Solutions) offering products designed to promote relaxation and well-being. Each item is curated with care, enhancing moments of tranquility in our busy lives. Join me on this journey, as we dance through life, finding joy in every step and rhythm.
