About me

I'm Luanne Hopkinson, a Clinical Nutritionist & Nervous System Coach (GradDipHumNutr, BSc, ADipNutrMed, MAP-CP), based in Melbourne, Australia. I work with women who are living with histamine intolerance, MCAS and complex chronic illness, most of whom have already tried the standard elimination diets and conventional medical approaches without lasting results. My approach combines clinical nutrition with nervous system and trauma-informed work, because in my experience, diet alone rarely gets someone all the way to recovery.
