"My intention is to assist each individual in strengthening their connections with themselves at a soul level and to support them in creating a life path that is fulfilling on a personal level as well as one which brings their unique gifts into our interconnected world."

Ewa Litauer is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHT) and Reiki Master Teacher, who also holds Master of Arts degrees in Pedagogy and Counseling Psychology. Before becoming a Hypnotherapist in 2001, she worked as an individual and group psychotherapist in various settings, including college and community counseling centers, shelters and day treatment facilities.

After years of training and clinical experience she discovered Hypnosis work as a powerful tool of deep healing and transformation. Hypnotherapy rapidly engages the clients' own inner resources and wisdom, significantly shortening the time spend in therapy, and greatly empowering clients not only in their own healing process but also in their ability to respond creatively to future life challenges and transitions.

Ewa brings a transpersonal approach to her therapy and teaching work and believes in assisting her clients to develop the tools they need to heal themselves. Compassionate, respectful and caring, she has the ability to put her clients at ease supporting them in exploring all aspects of their deep selves. Using intuition, creativity, and gentle humor she inspires her clients to tap into their own creative, intuitive sources. She draws on various systems of energetic healing, spiritual and meditative practices blending them into a unique model of empowerment toward each individual's full potential.

Ewa offers private sessions to adults, children, and adolescents, individuals and couples. She warmly welcomes people with alternative lifestyles, from multi-cultural and diverse backgrounds, and various spiritual orientations.

In addition, Ewa teaches Self-Hypnosis classes in 5-week series throughout the year, and offers Reiki classes to small groups of 4-6 students. She will also teach Self-Hypnosis or Reiki for private groups in your community.
