Anna Auer, M.A. Body Psychotherapy
Somatic Performance Psychology & Recovery Coaching for dancers, athletes, coaches, and high-performing professionals.
Contact & SchedulingFrom Performance to Connection
As a former professional dancer, I know what it means to live in a body that performs – beautifully, precisely, relentlessly. After a severe dance injury, I studied Body Psychotherapy (M.A., University of Marburg) to understand the profound link between body, emotion, and recovery. I spent over five years working in psychosomatic clinics in Germany before founding my own practice. Today I combine clinical experience, depth psychology, and embodied movement to help people reconnect to their body’s intelligence.
My Approach – From Drive to Connection
My approach combines dialogue, hypnotic exploration, movement, and – where appropriate – gentle, touch-based somatic work. These sessions are not massage, but guided processes for deeper awareness and trust. Sometimes, stored body memories or old patterns surface naturally, not to re-experience trauma, but to release what the body no longer needs to hold.
This process supports clients in restoring their natural rhythm, hormonal balance, and sense of inner vitality – without losing performance.

Who I Work With
I work with athletes, dancers, coaches, and high-performing professionals who seek to maintain excellence while building a deeper, sustainable relationship with their bodies. My work is especially supportive for those dealing with chronic tension, energy imbalance, RED-S, amenorrhea, or emotional patterns around control and nourishment.

Rehabilitation & Performance Recovery
Helping athletes and patients restore movement, confidence, and inner regulation after injury, surgery, or chronic pain — through trauma‑informed body psychotherapy and (optional) affect‑focused recall (Affect Bridge).

Interoception, autonomic regulation, and movement awareness to restore balance between mind and body.
Affect‑Focused Recall (optional)
Gentle access to unresolved trauma linked to injuries and performance blocks — no suggestion, client‑led.
