Many people think intimacy starts in the bedroom — Anna says it starts somewhere far deeper

I featured in Sweden’s most-read newspaper, sharing my perspective as an intimacy coach and Tantra therapist.

“For many people, ‘intimacy’ is another word for sex. For me, intimacy is not about getting naked — it’s about taking off the armour. Intimacy can take many forms: emotional intimacy (with oneself or others), intellectual intimacy, physical intimacy — platonic, like cuddling with a child or puppy — and sexual intimacy.”

I also highlighted the importance of touch:

“Touch is our first language. Long before we learn to speak, it is through touch that we communicate. For babies, touch is vital — but as we grow, society often sexualizes it or makes it something we feel ashamed to ask for. This disconnects us from our bodies and desires.”
