1:1 Coaching
At Health With Emilie, I specialize in guiding clients through a transformative journey of tapering off psychiatric medications and nurturing natural mental health. My unique approach, the Beyond Medication Method, is based on four core pillars—Connect, Nourish, Open & Release, and Embody. Each of these pillars supports self-exploration, healing, and empowerment, providing a holistic foundation for freeing yourself from medication and embracing a balanced, fulfilling life.

The Beyond Medication Method
Our journey begins with an “Inform” session, where we cover essential aspects of the tapering process and establish a solid foundation for your program. In this initial session, we’ll discuss:
​
-
The medications you’re on and how to approach tapering in a safe, informed way
-
​A shared list of qualified healthcare practitioners to support you throughout your taper journey
-
Resources you’ll have access to, including a taper calendar, nervous system support tools, and educational materials
-
Tips for assembling a supportive healthcare team and building a “taper mindset” to help you feel empowered throughout the process
From here, our work together becomes highly personalized, adapting to your unique needs and rhythm. I recommend two sessions per month for the first three months, as well as six months overall to cover all pillars for sustained progress and integration, but together we will set a frequency and schedule that fits your life and budget.​

Meet your Coach
Hi, I'm Emilie!
I’m a holistic health and psychiatric medication withdrawal coach dedicated to guiding clients through the challenging process of transitioning off psychiatric medications. With a B.S. in Biology and certifications as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki and EFT Practitioner, I combine my scientific background with holistic practices to support you on every level—mind, body, and spirit.
​
After my own journey of tapering off medication, I became passionate about helping others navigate this path with knowledge, compassion, and safe, gradual methods. I’m here to help you connect deeply with yourself, nourish your body, release emotional blocks, and fully embody a life of health and freedom beyond medication.
-
What qualifies you to help people taper off psychiatric medications?While I’m not a medical or mental health professional, I hold a B.S. in Biology and certifications as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki and EFT Practitioner. Through my own journey and experience with many clients, I understand the importance of holistic support in the tapering process. I specialize in guiding clients through best practices for safe tapering, helping them manage symptoms and build resilience. My work focuses on lifestyle, nutritional, and nervous system support to empower clients to navigate their tapering journey in collaboration with their healthcare providers.
-
Do you provide medical or psychiatric advice?No, I do not offer medical or psychiatric advice, nor do I diagnose, treat, or prescribe medications. My role is to support your well-being and empower you with tools for nervous system regulation, nutrition, and emotional resilience. I always encourage clients to consult their healthcare providers before making any changes to their treatment.
-
What should I expect from working with you?I offer a comprehensive, person-centered approach that emphasizes connection, nourishment, emotional openness, and embodiment. In our sessions, we work on building resilience and balance through personalized strategies, including nutritional support, mindfulness practices, and gentle movement, to support your mental and physical health. My aim is to help you experience greater stability and confidence throughout your tapering journey.
-
Can you help me manage withdrawal symptoms?Yes, I provide support to help alleviate common withdrawal symptoms, including guidance on best practices for tapering. This includes nervous system regulation techniques, anti-inflammatory nutrition guidance, somatic practices, mindfulness, supplementation and sleep optimization. While I don’t manage medications, I offer strategies to support your body’s adaptation through each phase of tapering.
-
What is your philosophy on mental health and psychiatric medications?I believe that the human body has a natural ability to heal when supported correctly. While psychiatric medications can be helpful for some, they are often overprescribed, and people aren’t always fully informed about potential long-term effects. My mission is to help bridge this information gap and empower people to explore holistic approaches to mental health. I provide a safe space for those wanting to transition off medication with informed, compassionate guidance.
-
Is it safe to taper off medication without medical support?It’s essential to work with a qualified healthcare provider when tapering off psychiatric medications. Stopping medications abruptly or without guidance can be risky and lead to severe withdrawal symptoms. I can support your health and wellness during the process, but I always recommend that my clients taper under medical supervision. I share practitioner resources with all of my clients.
-
What if I want to include my family or support network?I welcome family members or support people to join consultations if desired, as having a support network can be invaluable during this journey. Additionally, I am open to collaborating with your prescribers or other mental health professionals to ensure a well-rounded approach to your care.
