Dr. Alexandra Bunyak was born in Yalta (former USSR) and immigrated to the United States when she was 9 years old. She lived in New York and Pennsylvania prior to leaving for Yale University to study fine arts (painting) while completing her pre-medical requirements.

During this time she became involved in Shotokan karate and has studied martial arts since, competing as part of the national ISKF team and pursuing a personal mind/body/spirit practice.
