Calatonia Therapy Miami

Adjunct Nervous System Regulation

​

Gentle, touch-based care supporting autonomic and somatic regulation.
Designed to complement psychotherapy, medical care, and integrative treatment.

Calatonia Therapy Miami offers structured, non-verbal nervous system support through light, neutral touch. Sessions are slow, predictable, and non-directive, allowing the body to shift out of chronic stress patterns and into physiological safety.

​

 

What Is Calatonia Therapy?

Calatonia is a gentle, structured touch method developed by Hungarian physician Dr. Pethö Sándor.
It uses light, precise contact—most commonly at the feet—to provide non-stimulating sensory input to the nervous system.

This bottom-up approach supports autonomic nervous system regulation without requiring cognitive effort, emotional processing, or verbal analysis.

Calatonia Therapy Miami operates within an adjunct, non-diagnostic scope of care.

​

How Calatonia Supports Nervous System Regulation

Calatonia works through both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

​

• Gentle touch engages somatic sensory pathways

• The autonomic nervous system responds by reducing threat signaling

• Parasympathetic activity (“rest and regulate”) is supported

• Stress response patterns soften over time

Because sessions are slow and predictable, the nervous system is able to register safety rather than stimulation.

​

Potential Benefits of Calatonia Therapy

​

Individual responses vary. Clients often report:

• Reduced stress reactivity

• Improved ability to settle and rest

• Increased bodily awareness and grounding

• Improved sleep or breathing patterns

• A sense of calm without effort or analysis

Calatonia does not involve diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions, or interpretation of psychological material.

​

Who This Work May Support

​

Calatonia Therapy may be supportive for individuals experiencing:

• Chronic stress or nervous system overload

• Difficulty settling despite talk-based therapy

• Somatic tension or fatigue

• Burnout or prolonged activation

This work is especially appropriate as adjunct nervous system care alongside psychotherapy, psychiatry, or medical treatment.

​

For Referring Professionals

​

Calatonia Therapy Miami provides adjunct autonomic and somatic regulation within a clearly defined, non-diagnostic scope.

This work does not replace psychotherapy or medical care and does not assess, diagnose, or treat mental health conditions. Sessions support nervous system regulation alongside existing treatment plans.

Professional referrals and collaboration are welcome.
