Welcome to Taper Wise
We are an antidepressant/ antipsychotic and benzodiazepine tapering service located in the Sutherland Shire.
When you are ready to deprescribe
Taper Wise Coaching and Wellness is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalised support to individuals tapering off psychiatric medications. We specialise in guiding clients through the process of hyperbolic tapering, ensuring a smoother, gradual reduction of medications while minimising withdrawal symptoms. Working in close collaboration with hyperbolic informed doctors, we align our guidance with medical instructions, offering emotional and practical support throughout the tapering journey.
At Taper Wise, we emphasise the importance of open dialogue, fostering a trusting environment where clients feel empowered to take control of their mental and physical well-being. Our holistic approach integrates wellness practices with expert tapering guidance to help clients transition smoothly, regain balance, and achieve recovery.
If you are looking for someone to journey with you through withdrawal symptoms or require assistance with providing a safe space to calm the nervous system down using non medical tools. Assistance with co-regulating the nervous system in the short term, with planning for developing self regulation can be achievable.
This is done in a quiet peaceful place if you are well enough to attend here or at your home, or via zoom.

Therapudic Ketogenic diet
We offer compassionate, client-led support for people interested in exploring a therapeutic ketogenic diet as part of their mental well-being journey. Sessions focus on education, practical guidance, and emotional support, while encouraging collaboration.
Deprescribing psychotropic medications under your doctors supervision
We support clients who are hyperbolically deprescribing from psychiatric medications, with a strong focus on nervous system safety and regulation. Clients learn to recognise when they have shifted into fight-flight and how to gently return to calmer, parasympathetic state using practical grounding tools.
We help clients ride waves of panic and distress without spiraling, creating space for sensations to rise and pass naturally. Throughout the process, we offer reassurance that these experiences reflect a sensitised but healing nervous system, not harm.
During acute phases, we provide a safe, calm, and nurturing therapeutic environment, partnering closely with clients so healing can unfold at a steady respectful pace.

Testimonials
I feel very fortunate and lucky to have found Taper Wise coaching, Beatriz is a skilled and excellent withdrawal coach and is helping guide me through a very traumatic and complicated withdrawal from an SSRI with extensive experience and knowledge. I felt utterly alone and hopeless in the process before I found Beatriz, but now I feel I have hope and can proceed with confidence. I recommend Beatriz to anyone else going through or planning to go through any form of psychiatric medicine withdrawal. -Matthew, ACT
