Overview

​

I’m Tanya Master, a Somatic Consultant and creator of the Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ (PSR), based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

 

Through Tanya Master Somatic Consulting, I work online with adults, practitioners, founders, creatives, and internationally mobile professionals experiencing chronic stress, psychosomatic symptoms, burnout, life transitions, and repeating relational patterns.

 

My work explores how physical, emotional, relational, and psychological patterns interact—and what happens when we slow those patterns down enough to work with them in real time.

 

What This Work Is

 

This work focuses on how psychological, relational, and emotional patterns are experienced through the body.

We pay attention to what happens as your system responds in real time, including:

​

  • sensation and impulse

  • physical tension

  • emotion

  • nervous system responses

  • relational patterns

  • protective strategies

 

The aim is to make these patterns easier to recognise, understand what they are protecting, and create opportunities to respond differently.

 

What This Work Is Not

 

  • Unstructured or open-ended talk therapy.

  • Mindset or performance coaching.

  • Simple symptom management or behavioural optimisation.

  • Analysis without physiological change.


The work is structured and directed. It focuses on what is happening in the body in real-time, not only what is being said about it.​

​

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ (PSR)

 

The Psychosomatic Restoration Method™ is the framework I developed for working with the relationship between psyche and soma—between what we experience psychologically and how that experience is expressed through the body.

​

It brings together somatic practice, parts work, relational awareness, and spatial mapping.

In practice, this means we:

​

Notice what is happening.

We slow the experience down enough to track physical, emotional, and relational responses as they emerge.

​

Understand the protective pattern.

We explore what the response is doing, what it developed around, and what keeps it in place.

​

Create a different experience.

Rather than only analysing the pattern afterwards, we work with it while it is happening and practise another way of responding.​​

​

How the Work Is Structured

 

Somatic consultation is offered in three formats:

​

  1. Strategic Deep Dive — 90 minutes: A focused standalone session for exploring one issue, symptom, or repeating pattern in depth.

  2. Ongoing Somatic Work: 1:1 work beginning with three sessions per month for three months, allowing enough consistency for new responses to be practised and integrated over time.

  3. Practitioner Consultation: 1:1 consultation for practitioners who want support with their own patterns, relational dynamics, countertransference, or what happens in the room with clients.

​

How sessions work

 

We may begin with something you want to explore, but the work is guided by what emerges in real time. This might include a physical sensation, emotional response, relational reaction, internal conflict, image, impulse, or shift in attention.

 

Different methods are used according to what is happening rather than following a predetermined sequence.

Methods that inform the work

 

Psychosomatic Restoration™ is informed by professional training and practice across:

​

  • Somatic Experiencing®

  • Internal Family Systems-informed parts work

  • Family Constellation Therapy and spatial mapping

  • trauma-informed relational practice

  • nervous system regulation

These approaches are integrated rather than delivered as separate techniques.

Professional scope

I practise as a Somatic Consultant and trauma-informed practitioner. This is not psychotherapy, psychological assessment, medical treatment, or psychiatric care.
