Carla Krikorian is a Quebec-based entrepreneur, founder of Carla Kay Fitness, and an international expert
in Diastasis Recti, postpartum, and prenatal wellness. Based in Montreal, she is now recognized as a
pioneer in a field that remains largely misunderstood and under-discussed.
After experiencing untreated postpartum complications herself, Carla made it her mission to raise
awareness about Diastasis Recti and help women recover naturally. Since launching Carla Kay Fitness in
May 2023, she has built a community of more than 5 million women worldwide and has helped over
182,000 mothers across Quebec and internationally regain core function, improve posture, and restore
confidence without surgery through safe, natural, and accessible methods.
As the first Montreal-based advocate to bring Diastasis Recti education and prevention to a large-scale
audience, Carla is a passionate speaker who regularly shares her personal story and educates audiences
about a condition that remains widely overlooked both in Quebec and around the world.
Carla is also a sought-after speaker on entrepreneurship. Having first built a successful company in the
construction industry, she shares her entrepreneurial journey to inspire young people, women, and
aspiring business owners of all ages to pursue their goals, take action, and believe in their potential.
She is also the founder of the Women First Foundation (Fondation La Femme d’Abord), whose mission is
to break the silence surrounding postpartum challenges and help women regain their confidence, identity,
and personal power beyond motherhood.
Since March 2026, the foundation has launched a province-wide tour across Quebec and has already
reached its five city. Events have been held in Chicoutimi, Drummondville, Laval, Thetford Mines, and
Quebec City, bringing together more than 200 women to create meaningful impact, raise collective
awareness, and build a powerful movement of support and empowerment for women.
Every day, Carla Kay works to give women back control over their bodies, their health, and their
confidence.
