overview
 

Tanya Master is a somatic consultant working internationally online, based between Berlin, Germany and Victoria, Canada. She works with private clients and practitioners to resolve the physical patterns that thinking alone cannot shift.

Her work focuses on people who can already see their patterns clearly but find that insight has hit a ceiling. This is structured, trauma-informed work that addresses how survival strategies are held and maintained in the body over time.

 

What This Work Is

 

This work focuses on how psychological and relational patterns are carried in the body—a field often referred to as psychosomatic. We track how your system organises under pressure and how protective strategies show up in your behavior, emotions, and physiology.

​

Rather than working only at the level of narrative, this approach works directly with:

• Sensation and impulse

• Nervous system regulation

• Relational response

The aim is not just more awareness; it is change at the level the pattern is held. This includes addressing chronic tension, anxiety in the body, fatigue, and stress-related physical patterns.

 

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 proprietary framework Tanya developed to work with high-functioning adaptation and "biological debt." It is a structured way of tracking patterns as they emerge.

 

PSR focuses on:
 

• Identifying the survival pattern beneath the physical symptom.

• Understanding the intelligent protection that maintains the pattern.

• Shifting the internal conditions so the body no longer needs to "brace."​
   

Who This Work Is For 

 

This work is designed for individuals functioning at a high level while carrying ongoing internal strain.

​

• High-responsibility professionals: Founders, leaders, and clinicians.

• Persistent physical symptoms: People whose tension or burnout does not resolve through medical or cognitive approaches.

• Practitioners: Therapists or coaches who understand modalities like IFS or Somatic Experiencing® but struggle to apply them when their own system is under pressure.​

​

How the Work Is Structured

 

Consultation is offered in two formats:

 

1. A focused 90-minute Deep Dive session: For focused tracking of a specific symptom or pattern.

2. Structured Ongoing Work: Over a defined period to facilitate deeper nervous system restoration.

 

The structure is defined in advance. Clients know the format, duration, and scope before entering the work.

Clients do not need to manage the process, but they do need to actively engage with it.

 

For Practitioners

 

In consultation work, the focus is not on learning more models, but on developing the ability to stay in contact with what is happening in a session. We track patterns as they emerge, recognise where contact drops, and work through countertransference without defaulting to "fixing" or "managing" the client.

Key Distinction

 

This work sits between disciplines. It is not psychotherapy, and it is not coaching in the conventional sense. It is structured somatic consultation grounded in psychosomatic restoration.

​

If you want to explore one specific pattern or symptom in a focused way, you can begin with a 90-minute Deep Dive session.
