Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind through guided relaxation to address negative patterns and trauma. This natural state similar to daydreaming enables behavioral changes and emotional healing. Sessions combine subconscious reprogramming with energy work for comprehensive treatment of anxiety, stress, and chronic conditions.
Reiki
Reiki uses universal life energy through light touch to balance the body's biofield and promote self-healing. This Japanese technique reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and supports recovery from chronic conditions. Sessions may include warmth sensations and emotional release while strengthening immune function and nervous system regulation.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy employs gentle touch to evaluate and release restrictions in the craniosacral system. This osteopathic approach addresses chronic pain, headaches, and emotional conditions by restoring natural rhythms in cerebrospinal fluid. Sessions promote deep relaxation and address physical manifestations of emotional trauma.
Workplace Wellness
Workplace Wellness offers customized meditation and stress-reduction programs for organizations. These sessions improve team cohesion, reduce workplace stress, and enhance productivity through guided relaxation techniques. Programs include monthly meditation classes and retreat-based wellness workshops tailored to organizational needs.
Reiki Classes
Reiki Classes teach energy healing techniques in group and private formats. Curriculum covers Usui Reiki lineage, hand positions, and self-treatment methods. Students receive attunements and certification at multiple levels, with specialized training available for medical professionals integrating Reiki into patient care.

After having had a wonderful experience learning Reiki (both Reiki First & Second Degree) with Ewa Litauer at SF Hypnotherapy many years ago, I already knew that she was a highly professional, compassionate and gifted practitioner, so I reached out to her again, when I felt the need to explore some relationship issues and also make some medical/health decisions. And I am so glad I did! My recent experience with Ewa's hypnotherapy has led me to deep insights and a greater sense of ease and trust in myself. Her ability to put you at ease to talk about anything and her sensitivity to my cultural

I worked with Ewa for a few sessions after reading her online reviews. She did not disappoint! She helped center me back to where I needed to be. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Ewa!

Ewa truly is remarkable at what she does. I suffered from a 20+ year nail biting addiction that I couldn't kick. However, in just one visit, Ewa was able to get me to break the habit. I cannot tell you what it means to me to stop biting my nails. While a non-threatening addiction, it was one that made me feel unprofessional, self-conscious and unsuccessful. I owe Ewa a world of gratitude for balancing my life in a way I never would have imagined.

Just celebrated 6 months sober. Even through the pandemic, all the stress of working as a healthcare worker, and the boredom of going straight home after work hasn't been able to crack this sobriety. I'm never going back.

I've traveled all over the world for many years and been almost everywhere abroad. And now I'm trying to concentrate on taking some inner journeys as well. And Ewa Litauer is the absolute go-to person for that!

I was directed to Ewa by a friend who had received her level 1 Reiki training from her. The training took place over two days and the environment was very warm, neat, and welcoming. Ewa was well prepared and provided comprehensive handouts about the history of Reiki and all the hand positions. The training was the perfect combination of learning and hands-on/experiential. The group I trained with was a good size (6) and the pacing was spread out well. Ewa has a good energy and a calming presence and has kept in touch and remains available for any questions and is curious to know how my self-reiki

I was fortunate to get some Rikki sessions with Ewa, to help with some health issues I'm dealing with. She'd always given me plenty of time to listen and comfortable manners before the sessions. The sessions worked really well for me, so I'm so grateful. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone who wishes to find a healers with reliable results. Ahmed
