Whangarei Business Womens' Network - October 2026

Join us for Korero & Kai with guest speaker Corinne Austin from Fit Fix NZ

The Intelligence Within You - 4 systems that work together to keep you well.

"We're given only one body in which to live our entire lives – we need to invest in that body and provide it with quality ingredients and functional body movement.  This is my passion and my desire..." Corinne Austin, aka the Happy Body Coach, has more than twenty years in the health and fitness industry. Corinne's greatest drive is in helping her clients to rediscover the happy body within them. Winning Exercise New Zealand's 'Personal Trainer of the Year' in 2017 gave Corinne even more drive to follow her passion for understanding the many elements and facets of creating a happy body. As well as her foundational Personal Training practice, Corinne has undergone studies and mentorship in Fascial Mobilisation & Therapy, Lymphatic Stimulation, Functional Movement, and Functional Medicine. Bringing these various modalities and 'modes of operandi' together, Corinne is able to approach her clients with a comprehensive lens, enabling her to utilise various things within her toolbox to help her clients not only achieve happier bodies, but also to understand the many different things that must be considered for happy bodies to be achieved.

This month Corinne will help us understand how we're already equipped with an extraordinary system of communication, protection, repair and regulation. Her presentation will raise our awareness of our potential within, and she'll speak to the four significant players, which are interconnected. Between them there's a full conversation going on and our bodies share little love notes with us daily about them.  When we better understand these systems and how they interplay with each other, we can receive these notes and then act to make changes.  The four systems she’ll be touching on are:      - The nervous system, which is always asks us, "are we safe?"      - The fascia -  ‘how is our body communicating and moving?’      - The lymphatic system – ‘what needs moving, clearing and draining?’      - The immune system – ‘what needs protecting, repairing and responding to?’

Corinne grew up in Whangarei, and this is where she returned as a new graduate.  Starting her business ‘Fit Fix’ 19 years ago she has evolved from her personal training foundations and has continued to follow her passion and ever-inquisitive mind for what keeps us feeling, moving and living well.  Corinne is a solo Mum of two daughters (14 and 17), 1 rooster (whose name is Simon), and has always had horses close by too.  Corinne works from her home base as well as a studio in town.  She loves the outdoors including fishing, adventuring and travelling and hanging out with her family and partner.  An advocate of gratitude and the simple life, we're delighted to welcome Corinne to the network this month where she will help us: - Understand how our bodies communicate via four significant interconnected systems; - Increase our awareness and understanding of the importance of what these systems are communicating with us; - Ask some self-check questions to improve how we connect with our bodies and feel a greater sense of ease, vitality and peace, when we need it most.
