For ten years, she gave everything she had, but eventually, she burned out. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness became her tools for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:clamp(24.034px, 1.502rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.814), 40px);\">&#8221;I started introducing child massage in classrooms, creating safe spaces where children could learn to touch each other with love and care,&#8221; she shares. &#8221;That was the beginning of my journey into working with the body and connection.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Anneke took her newfound knowledge further by teaching other educators how to use massage as a tool in schools. Her goal was to help children feel confident in showing loving, respectful touch to one another, free from guilt or shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">However, over time, she felt increasingly constrained by the fixed frameworks of her job. She longed for freedom and independence, which led her to follow the common thread of her life: working with people&#8217;s bodies and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/johnny-gustavsson.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/241211_Anneke_Beyond_013A7084-1-scaled-e1736116132589-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Anneke works with therapy and sexuality for women, men, and couples.

In these spaces, she met many women and quickly realized her work could evolve and deepen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">&#8221;At the start of my practice, I primarily worked with women. I helped them release numbness, pain, guilt, and shame,&#8221; she explains. &#8221;It\u2019s about rediscovering their connection to their bodies and their sense of pleasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Her open upbringing, free from shame about nudity and pleasure, laid the foundation for her work. Through her practice, she aims to help women reclaim their bodily and sexual power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/johnny-gustavsson.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/241211_Anneke_Beyond_013A7326-scaled-e1736116095310-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Anneke works with therapy and sexuality for women, men, and couples.

For many men, it\u2019s about letting go of the pressure to perform and instead focusing on intimacy and pleasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Anneke also teaches men techniques for working with their sexual energy, such as how to extend intimacy by avoiding ejaculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Couples Therapy and Intimacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">For couples, Anneke focuses on rebuilding intimacy and improving communication around needs and fantasies. She uses exercises to help partners understand each other\u2019s bodies and sexual &#8221;maps.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">&#8221;It might involve setting boundaries or finding the courage to express what you truly want,&#8221; she explains. &#8221;Massage and touch are central tools, especially for those who carry guilt or shame about their sexuality. I\u2019m there to help guide them through these practices in a safe space.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Sometimes, these sessions lead to new and unexpected discoveries, allowing couples to explore fresh ways to experience trust and passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">&#8221;I help couples uncover their sexual blueprints, bridging gaps and building deeper connections. Sexual energy is life force energy. It carries innocence, beauty, and playfulness.
