Goulet began training when she was 17 years old in Sorel, Quebec, Canada, her hometown. On June 23, 1997, she made her wrestling debut in St-Leonard-d'Aston, Quebec, under the ring name Lucifer. She then moved to Montreal where she joined RWR and Northern Championship Wrestling (NCW). Her first trip to the States was in 1998, wrestling for Eastern Township Wrestling Alliance, where she modified her name to Lucy Fer.
In late 1998, she joined the Eastern Wrestling Alliance under the name "Luscious Lucy" as "Centerfold" Steve Ramsey's valet. She also began appearing at Green Mountain Wrestling shows in Vermont at this point. By mid-1999, working for International Wrestling 2000 in Quebec, The Mountie Jacques Rougeau changed her name to Precious Lucy. At EWA, Goulet was teaming with Mark "Jaguar" Nugera and manager Joshua Shea to form "Partners in Crime" in many mixed gender tag-team and singles bouts. Precious Lucy also became the first female in Quebec to win a male championship at ICW, defeating Serge Proulx for the ICW Provincial Championship. That's also where she developed her hardcore style.
In 2002, Goulet was booked to appear in the main event of Blood, Sweat N' Ears in a match featuring Ontario hardcore wrestler Bloody Bill Skullion. The Ontario Athletics Commission, citing a regulation that prevented women and men from wrestling each other, threatened to withdraw the license for the show. This essentially banned LuFisto from wrestling in Ontario. Goulet lodged a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission. On February 26, 2006, the OHRC informed Goulet that they had convinced the OAC to drop the regulation. The OAC subsequently dropped the vast majority of the regulations affecting professional wrestling in Ontario, a move which removed a great deal of the bureaucracy stifling independent wrestling in the province.
Goulet then worked primarily for National Wrestling Alliance's Quebec promotion, where she is head trainer (along with Dru Onyx) of their wrestling school, "Onyx and LuFisto's Torture Chamber".
She also worked for Combat Zone Wrestling, where, on August 12, 2006 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, LuFisto became the first ever female CZW Iron Man Champion, pinning Kevin Steen to win the title. On October 29, 2006 she won the Stranglehold Wrestling Death Match Tournament, the first deathmatch tournament in Canada. In the first round she defeated the Juggulator, the second round she defeated Skullion in a lighttube match and defeated Necro Butcher in the finals to win the tournament. On December 9, after a tag match at the CZW Cage of Death event, she became the first female ever to wrestle inside of the Cage of Death match when she added herself in the last minute in a match that also involved Zandig, Nick Gage, and Lobo. Gage would go on to win the match by pinning Zandig.
On January 8, 2007, however, she announced on her web site a possible retirement due to a back problem and that she would be forfeiting the CZW Iron Man Championship.[8]
LuFisto made her first appearance in a wrestling ring since her injury on April 13, 2007, for Association de Lutte Féminine (ALF) in Montreal, as the special referee in a match for the ALF Championship between champion Stefany Sinclair and Kacey Diamond.[9] On September 22, 2007, LuFisto made her return to IWS at Blood, Sweat and Beers in which she lost a match to Damian. On October 27, 2007, LuFisto entered IWA Mid-South's 2007 Queen of the Deathmatch Tournament where she defeated Mickie Knuckles to win the title of Queen of fhe Deathmatch. She has since then also returned to Combat Zone Wrestling. On September 12, 2008, LuFisto won the vacant ALF Championship by defeating Kacey Diamond.
She debuted in Shimmer Women Athletes on October 24, 2006 in Berwyn, Illinois. She lost her first match to Mercedes Martinez, but came back and won her second match against Allison Danger.[10] On July 5, 2008, LuFisto returned to Shimmer at the tapings of Volumes 19 and 20, defeating Rain on Volume 19 and losing to Cheerleader Melissa in a match that earned a standing ovation from the audience on Volume 20.[11] On October 19, 2008 LuFisto teamed with Jennifer Blake as the "Suicide Blondes" to take part in the Shimmer Tag Team Championship Gauntlet Match. They were able to eliminate the Canadian NINJAs of Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews but came up short against The International Home Wrecking Crew of Rain and Jetta. As part of Volume 22 LuFisto was able to defeat Wesna Busic in an International Wildcard Dream Match.[12]
She returned to Shimmer at the tapings of Volume 23, where she defeated the debuting Kellie Skater from Australia. Later in the night however she lost a rematch to Wesna after interference from her manager Annie Social. She came back victorious over Amber O'Neal, but she lost the chance to became Shimmer Champion against MsChif as part of Volume 26.[13] On Volume 27 she had a number one contender's match with Amazing Kong, but both of them were counted out so they were both declared #1 contenders.[14] As part of the main event of Volume 28 LuFisto lost a three-way elimination match with Amazing Kong and the eventual winner MsChif.[14]
On April 10, 2010 she wrestled Rachel Summerlyn and she was able to force her to submit to her juji-gatame.
In early June 2009 the birth of a new all Female Canadian promotion, nCw Femmes Fatales, administered by LuFisto and Stephane Bruyere, the former booker of ALF, was announced. On September 5 LuFisto defeated Cheerleader Melissa in the main event of the promotion's inaugural show, making their record in singles competition 1–1. After the match Sara Del Rey brutally attacked LuFisto.[15] The two of them were scheduled to face each other at the second show on February 6, 2010. However, Del Rey was booked for a Ring of Honor Wrestling taping that same day and when her replacement Ayako Hamada no-showed the event, LuFisto took on Cat Power instead. Power defeated LuFisto via disqualification, after the referee caught LuFisto holding a steel chair, thrown to her by Power behind the referee's. Later in the evening the team of LuFisto and Cheerleader Melissa defeated Cat Power and Kalamity in a tag team match.[16]
On April 17, 2010, Goulet suffered a stroke, after a match for NCW. Goulet, who has a family history of heart problems, decided to continue her career, after going through some tests.[17][18] Goulet made her return to the ring on June 5, defeating Sara Del Rey in the first round of a tournament to determine the first ever NCW Femmes Fatales Champion.[19] On October 23, 2010, LuFisto first defeated Kalamity in the semifinals and then Portia Perez in the finals of the tournament to become the first nCw Femmes Fatales Champion.[20] She would go on to lose the title to Kalamity on October 8, 2011.[21]
Goulet has a University Certificate in Multimedia Design and Graphics in Desktop Application.[22]
