Therapeutic Philosophy
Tanya Master is a somatic therapist and transformational life coach. She has an integrative approach to trauma-informed care, blending somatic experiencing, psychodynamic coaching, somatic IFS Parts Work, and spiritual exploration to foster deep, embodied transformation.
Tanya’s blended approach empowers individuals to overcome emotional obstacles, release outdated thought patterns and behaviours, and reclaim the fragmented parts of the self impacted by trauma. Her work helps clients access their inner wisdom, develop radical self-acceptance, and nurture safe, supportive relationships—both with the Self and others—within the therapeutic space.
Before shifting her focus in 2022, Tanya spent a decade practising energy work and intuitive guidance, offering clients insights through energy readings, spiritual mentorship, and healing modalities like Reiki. While her work in the spiritual realm helped clients connect with deeper truths, Tanya recognised the growing presence of dissociation and escapism in the spiritual community. This realisation urged her to evolve her practice, incorporating a trauma-sensitive, integrative approach that includes cognitive and body-based therapies. This combination bridges spiritual development, trauma recovery, and somatic work, creating a balanced, grounded healing process.
Whether working with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, past trauma, spiritual crises, life transitions, or those pursuing personal or professional growth, Tanya’s mission is to empower people to co-create their conscious reality. She provides tools to help clients build resilience, self-integrity, and personal agency—offering both in-person sessions in Berlin and online sessions globally.
Origins & Influences
Tanya's journey has been shaped by the complexities of displacement, identity exploration, and the quest to find her place in the world. As a child of immigrants and a third-culture kid who lived on three continents by the age of 16, she experienced a challenging upbringing characterised by disrupted relational connections, neglect, and excessive self-reliance. These early experiences served as the crucible for Tanya's dedication to personal alchemy. Her journey enables her to support clients on their transformative journeys, offering a profound, eye-level understanding of the power of self-inquiry and emotional growth.
