about Tanya

IFS-Informed Somatic Coach & Integrative Psychosomatic Practitioner

Tanya Master works with sensitive, high-responsibility individuals who are outwardly capable but internally carrying chronic stress, burnout, dissociation, or nervous system strain. Her practice supports professionals, practitioners, and leaders seeking depth-oriented, embodied change when awareness alone hasn’t shifted long-standing patterns.

By integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and psychosomatic approaches, and systemic work, Tanya helps clients develop clarity, emotional capacity, and self-leadership while navigating boundary complexity, relational pressure, and periods of transition where responsibility exceeds available support.

why this work
is integrative

Real, lasting change doesn’t happen in one dimension. Our thoughts, emotions, physical body, and relationships are inseparably linked — each influencing how we heal, grow, and navigate the world.

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ brings these elements together, helping clients restore coherence between their inner world and outer life. This integrative approach supports emotional regulation, relational clarity, and embodied decision-making so change is not only felt in the moment, but sustained in everyday life.

the integrative framework

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™  is a trauma-informed, body-based approach designed to support lasting change. It integrates therapeutic and systemic modalities — including structured containment, symbolic process work, and IFS-informed parts integration — so clients can experience transformation somatically and systemically, in real time.
