Teaching people to come off psychiatric medication safely since 2023.

I'll show you how to come off psychiatric medication safely and support you every step of the way. One-on-one, at your own pace, and with genuine care.

Coming off antidepressants can be harder than starting them. Cutting your dose too quickly can trigger withdrawal symptoms that are often mistaken for relapse. I'll teach you how to do it safely with your doctor, using hyperbolic tapering.

I went through the hell of antidepressant withdrawal. Today I help others.

I was on antidepressants for more than ten years, and when I tried to come off them, I was hit by severe withdrawal. It turned my life upside down and derailed my plans for the future. Today I’m fully recovered: my emotions, my sexuality and my ability to think clearly have all come back. Now I help others who are going through the same thing.

A comprehensive support program for coming off psychiatric medication

Ongoing support and regular online sessions with someone who has been through it too.

I’ll help you bring your body back into balance through drug-free nervous system regulation, with a focus on the gut microbiome and neurogenesis.

I’ll teach you Hyperbolic Tapering, a method that helps you and your doctor reduce your medication gradually and safely.

I'll teach you how to lower your dose safely and gradually* and help you get through withdrawal

Hyperbolic Tapering is a neuroscience-based method that eases withdrawal by reducing the dose in progressively smaller steps.

I’ve been through this myself, so I know first-hand what my clients are up against when they decide to come off their medication. My support draws on trauma therapy and the Open Dialogue approach.

*Together with your prescribing doctor.

I've been there too. I know first-hand what it's like to come off antidepressants and recover.

Today, that hard experience is what drives me to help others through the same process. My work rests on three pillars: support through tapering and recovery, teaching hyperbolic tapering, and nervous system regulation. The goal is simple: by the end of the program, my clients can enjoy life free from side effects.
