Per her IMDB, Emilie Livingston was born in 1983, in Ontario, Canada. According to her Instagram bio, her father is Canadian and her mother French. She started dancing at a very young age and moved to Russia when she was 10 to train for a career in rhythmic gymnastics, per British media. She made the big shift due to a lack of resources in Canada, per an interview with Vol Up 2.

She’s an ‘intuitive stretch body movement coach’

Livingston faced taunts over her petite figure as a young girl. She revealed in an interview with Vol Up 2 that people around her would assume she had an eating disorder or judge her for being too skinny, even though she knew she was healthy. Mrs Goldblum now shares recipes on her Instagram.
