At only 11 years old, Livingston moved to Russia to train professionally at the famous Novogorsk camp in Moscow. She thought it necessary to make the move to seriously pursue her passion, due to the lack of resources in Canada.
“My first coach, I saw her perform in Toronto… This is where I first saw a high level representation of Rhythmic Gymnastics,” Livingston toldVol Up 2. “What I was exposed to in Canada wasn’t near that level. Canada doesn’t have the same resources … for the sport to really be taken to its highest potential.”
During an interview withNeon Tommy, she admitted, “I don’t know how I survived it, but I am really glad I did. I think it made me a really strong and courageous person.”
She added, “One thing about the Russians, they have no mercy. I wasn’t around my family, there was no one there to coddle me, but it helped bring my skill level up tremendously.”

Livingston discovered her love for dance at a young age, prior to pursuing gymnastics. She said that any opportunity to accompany her older sister to a dance lesson turned into a chance to try to attend classes herself.
“I would be at the dance studio with my mom. While she was dressing my sister, I would use that opportunity to bolt, and sneak into a class,” Livingston toldVol Up 2.
“Eventually, it continued from there and I was placed in a dance class without having to sneak into it. Here, my love of being on the stage, for creativity and movement began to take off,” she recalled.

Coincidentally, the professional gymnast met her husband in a gym one day in California. “We were at Equinox on Sunset Blvd., the gym,” Goldblum toldWired.
He continued: “I saw her from across a crowded room, and I marched up to her, entranced, and began some kind of conversation.”
