Right out of high school, Heather Owens began her training at Les Thatcher's Main Event Pro Wrestling Camp in Evendale, Ohio in 2002. After only a few months, she left due to personal reasons.

In May 2005, Owens returned to the wrestling ring and started training under Ronnie Longworth at Queen City Wrestling in Mt. Healthy, Ohio. She was only training for a few months before she became a referee.
