Manyurova graduated from the Moscow Veterinarian Academy. Until 2009 she trained at Dynamo Moscow and competed for Russia. She later moved to Alma Ata.[2]
She later left her wrestling career when she started learning with Jehovah's Witnesses, on learning their principles of peace and non-violence. She soon joined the group in their evangelical work. Her autobiographical video was later published in jw.org, the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses.
