About us
Our journey
​
Jane commenced her career in nutrition in 2000 when she began a polytechnic course in Home Economics in Brazil. During this diploma course, Jane developed a keen interest in the subject of nutrition. In the following semester, she secured a place in another diploma course at the same polytechnic school, titled “Nutrition and Dietetics.” Remarkably, Jane was the only student at her school to obtain two diplomas within the same year.
​
In 2003, Jane pursued a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at a local university. Her ambition to become a nutritionist was initially postponed until she relocated to Australia in 2007, and then further deferred until 2017. From that year onward, Jane resumed her studies and refocused on her goal of becoming a fully qualified Registered Clinical Nutritionist with the aim of establishing a Holistic Nutritional Clinic.
​
Jane has consistently demonstrated a strong passion for assisting individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups. She now holds a bachelor’s degree Health Sciences (Nutritional Medicine) from Southern School of Natural Therapies. Esteemed member of the Australian Natural Therapies Association.
​
In 2022, we are pleased to announce the establishment of Be Yourself Nutrition Au.
