Carolyne Anthoy is the founder and creative director of The Center for Women's Fitness in Ann Arbor, MI. Carolyne was raised in Malaysia and is a former dancer who began her professional ballet career in London, England. While there, she was introduced to Pilates by Alan Herdman. She continued performing in companies in Europe and Africa before her husband's job brought them to the United States. While pregnant, Carolyne turned her interest in movement to her own body and became very excited about developing pregnancy fitness and post-partum rehabilitation programs. As she develped these programs, she began getting requests from men who had issues with diastasis recti. She realized that both men and women could benefit from her program.
