Nervous System Regulation in Miami

For Individuals Seeking Nervous System Regulation Support

Gentle, touch-based support for autonomic and somatic regulation

Calatonia Therapy Miami offers gentle, touch-based nervous system regulation in Miami for individuals experiencing chronic stress, tension, or difficulty settling.

This work is non-verbal, non-directive, and designed to support the body’s natural capacity to regulate—without talk therapy, emotional processing, or effort. Sessions are calm, predictable, and structured to help the nervous system register safety.

Signs of Nervous System Overload

Many individuals seeking Calatonia describe experiences such as:

  • Feeling constantly “on edge” or unable to relax

  • Difficulty slowing the mind or body

  • Ongoing tension or fatigue

  • Trouble resting, sleeping, or settling after stress

  • Feeling disconnected from the body despite insight or self-awareness

These experiences are often signs of nervous system overload, not personal failure or lack of effort.

Calatonia offers a quiet, body-based way to support regulation at the level of the nervous system.

What a Calatonia Session Is Like

Calatonia sessions are simple, gentle, and structured.

  • Light, neutral touch is applied—most commonly at the feet

  • Sessions are non-verbal and non-directive

  • There is no need to explain, analyze, or revisit experiences

  • The body leads the process

Sessions are approximately 60 minutes and include a brief orientation before hands-on work.

How This Work Supports Regulation

Calatonia works through bottom-up autonomic and somatic nervous system regulation.

Gentle sensory input engages the somatic nervous system. In response, the autonomic nervous system may reduce stress signaling and support parasympathetic activity (“rest and regulate”).

This process does not require intention, visualization, or emotional effort.

What People Often Notice

Each person’s experience is unique. Some individuals report:

  • A sense of calm without trying

  • Easier breathing or softening of physical tension

  • Improved ability to rest or sleep

  • Feeling more present or grounded in the body

  • Emotional settling without needing to talk

Calatonia is not a treatment for mental health conditions and does not replace psychotherapy or medical care

Who This Work May Be Helpful For

Calatonia may be supportive for individuals who:

  • Feel overwhelmed or chronically stressed

  • Have difficulty settling despite insight or therapy

  • Experience ongoing tension, fatigue, or burnout

  • Are already working with a therapist or physician and want adjunct nervous system support

This work is especially appropriate for those seeking gentle, body-based regulation rather than conversation-based approaches.
