About Happy When Fit
The project and the goal.
Happywhenfit is an Australian community health program designed to educate, inspire and empower people with the tools to be the healthiest and happiest version of themselves across the 3 pillars of health.
Nutrition | Mental Health | Fitness
The goal is to create meaningful and purpose driven health education in our school system that can be implemented in school, home and community environments to make a real difference to the health of not only the individual, but the communities they belong to.
The programs aim to educate and empower students, teachers, parents and the wider community, giving our young people healthy role models and mentors. Programs such as the ‘Healthy Schools Program’, supported by the Bunbury Farmer’s Market, are examples of how Happywhenfit values community connections to engage participants with practical and meaningful learning experiences.
The goal is to have Happywhenfit programs working within all Australian schools alongside the health curriculum, supporting Youth in integrating their health outcomes in school, home and community environments.
Our founder
Meet Danae Cornford
Danae is a school teacher, personal trainer, NLP Coach, and Holistic health coach. She is passionate about finding personal growth in striving to be the healthiest and happiest version of herself and sharing that with other people so that they can do the same.
Danae grew up in a small country town in South-Western Australia. Her upbringing nurtured community values such as generosity, support, quality relationships, nature, having a valued voice, and respect. These values build the core of her programs, as she believes the sense of purpose and meaning that come from belonging and contributing to our communities, is the missing link between health education and implementation of healthy behaviours.
Danae loves anything outdoors and in nature. She enjoys ballroom dancing, singing, playing guitar, songwriting and cooking in her spare time.
Happywhenfit is Danae’s passion, her heart and soul. She truly wants a healthier and happier future for our children, communities and environment. It is her life's work to make positive change starting with our Youth.
