About Tanya Master

Tanya Master is a Psychosomatic Consultant for high-performing professionals. She specialises in bridging the "Insight-Action Gap"—the space where clients possess deep intellectual understanding of their patterns, yet find their nervous systems still defaulting to old survival strategies under pressure.
_______________________________

The Strategic & The Somatic
 

Tanya’s approach is shaped by direct experience in high-performance environments and a clear understanding of the patterns that sustain them.

Before focusing on psychosomatic work, she spent years in high-stakes international roles, leading digital strategy for global brands such as Daimler and Ritter Sport and managing partnerships across the UK, the US, the Middle East, and Australia.

These environments made visible how high-responsibility professionals sustain performance through chronic override, and the long-term cost of doing so. Competence becomes a way of managing internal pressure, while performance can mask patterns that remain unchanged underneath.

To work at that level, Tanya maintains advanced training in trauma-informed, somatic, and relational practice. Her work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing® (SE), and Polyvagal Theory to track how patterns are organised and maintained in the nervous system, the body, and real-time responses.

Her approach does not stop at understanding. It works at the level where the pattern is actually held.

Lived Experience: From Survival to Restoration

Tanya’s expertise in attachment and somatic work is also informed by her lived experience of migration, shifting identities, and early family systems that required high-stakes adaptation.

She recognises that many high-responsibility adults are, in effect, high-functioning survivalists. Their ability to perform was often shaped in environments where they had to navigate complex relational dynamics or take on responsibility early.

These strategies were once protective. Over time, they become the very patterns that limit clarity, decision-making, and relational capacity.

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ (PSR)
 

Bringing all of this together, Tanya developed the Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ (PSR). It’s a structured, trauma-informed approach that works with patterns as they show up in the moment.

Instead of just using techniques or talking things through, this method examines how responses are set up and stored in the body and nervous system. This helps change take root where it’s really needed.
