Alycia Charchuk

Alycia Constance Charchuk was born August 9, 1977 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the middle of three girls. As a child, Alycia enjoyed a variety of sports which led her to discover her love for figure skating at the age of nine. She began training before, during and after school to compete in figure skating. Because of her dedication and hard work Alycia placed in the top three in numerous skating competitions. Alycia and her family moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, when she was 16 years old. The lack of arenas put an end to figure skating as Alycia was unable to train at the same level she had in Vancouver. She attended and graduated Lincoln International High School in Argentina, and at the age of 18, Alycia and her family moved back to Vancouver. She studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at The International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and received her degree to become a doctor of TCM after four years of study.
