Healing with Hypnotherapy: Vanya Terry on Oui Talk Raw

About Me – Vanya Terry

Hello,

My name is Vanya Terry. I am a certified Hypnotherapist with the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT). I have a spiritual gift of being highly intuitive and knowing the most helpful way to guide the session specific to each client so they can get the most benefit out of it.

My tough childhood helped me to further develop my spiritual gift as I experienced physical and emotional abuse from ages five to eleven. At age eleven I had a near death experience. I stayed in the hospital for three months, underwent many surgeries, and had to learn how to walk again. Both the near death experience and the abuse prior to it helped me to deeply understand emotional and physical pain.

This kind of understanding gives me the ability to empathize and hold space in a non-judgmental way, and at the same time know what could be helpful for my client to shift out of their emotional and/or physical struggle. The near death experience also confirmed that my purpose is to help others. Hypnotherapy allows me to use my education, my spiritual gift, and experience combined together to help my clients. It is the best expression of everything that I have to offer, which also aligns it with my purpose.

From Trauma to Transformation: Vanya’s Journey

In this heartfelt episode of Oui Talk Raw, hypnotherapist and spiritual guide Vanya Terry opens up about the transformational journey of subconscious healing. She shares how hypnotherapy isn’t just for adults—it can be incredibly powerful for children as young as seven, depending on their openness and support system.

Whether it’s breaking toxic cycles, overcoming deep-seated fears, or even exploring past lives, Vanya brings every conversation back to a core belief: healing happens when we’re ready—and when we feel safe.

Demystifying Hypnotherapy

At its core, hypnotherapy is about unlocking the subconscious—the space where old emotions, habits, and limiting beliefs are stored. Vanya explains:

“It’s not a trance. It’s a relaxed awareness—like that moment just before sleep.”

In this space, clients can access the hidden stories behind their behaviors and begin to release what no longer serves them. Many emotional patterns—like attracting the wrong partners or feeling stuck in a job—are often rooted in childhood experiences.

“I gently help clients return to the original wound—often buried in childhood—and release it with compassion.”

A Healing Space That’s Intuitive and Grounded

One moving story Vanya shares is of a client who spontaneously began to move during a session—cleansing their heart through physical expression. Most clients remain still, but she trusted the process.

“I honored that moment. It was a spontaneous, powerful release.”

This story reflects Vanya’s gift: her sessions are never one-size-fits-all. Guided by both structure and intuition, she adapts to what each client needs in the moment.

She also talks openly about receiving what she calls “downloads”—inner nudges or physical confirmations like chills that guide her to ask the right questions at the right time.

“I guide, they choose. It’s teamwork.”

Self-Hypnosis and Inner Wisdom

Healing doesn’t require a full session to begin. Vanya encourages everyone to start small:

“Sit in a calm space. Ask yourself, what am I feeling? What do I need? That’s the beginning.”

For those who want to go deeper, she offers both in-person sessions in South Charlotte and remote work over Zoom or phone.

Inner Child Healing and the Power of Presence

Much of Vanya’s work focuses on inner child healing, a path she knows intimately from her own experience. Her compassionate, nonjudgmental approach creates the kind of safe, sacred space where people can feel seen and held—often for the first time.

Through her blend of coaching, hypnosis, and intuitive guidance, she helps clients rewrite old stories and transform their energy from trauma to peace.

“Healing doesn’t happen in the mind alone. It happens when we feel safe, when we’re seen, and when we trust the process.”

Ready to break a cycle or step into transformation? Your subconscious may already be asking for it. With the right guidance, healing is not just possible—it’s powerful.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses a relaxed, meditative state—often described as the space between wakefulness and sleep—to gently access the subconscious mind. In this state, deep-seated emotional patterns, traumas, and limiting beliefs become more accessible, allowing healing to take place at the root.

What Happens in a Hypnotherapy Session?

Each session combines traditional coaching with guided hypnosis to create a safe, client-centered experience:

Part 1: Coaching Conversation
The session begins with a thoughtful discussion to understand your goals and identify any recurring emotional blocks or challenges you want to address.

Part 2: Guided Hypnotic State
You’ll then be gently led into a deeply relaxed state—one of calm awareness—where your subconscious mind opens, and healing insights naturally emerge.

How Hypnotherapy Facilitates Healing

In this relaxed state, many clients recall forgotten or blocked childhood memories that have shaped their current emotional patterns. With guidance, they navigate visualizations and emotional releases, fostering healing in a way that feels natural and safe.

Why the Subconscious Matters

Your subconscious holds the stories, habits, and wounds that influence your relationships, behaviors, and beliefs—often without your conscious awareness. Hypnotherapy creates a powerful space to gently reframe and rewire these deep-rooted patterns.

Guided by Intuition

Vanya blends her professional training with intuitive guidance during sessions. She describes moments when she feels physical sensations—like chills down her arms—as signals from the universe that they’ve uncovered something meaningful.

As she says, “I get chills down my arms when truth shows up. That’s my sign that we’ve hit something important.”

The Power of Inner Child Healing

At the heart of many emotional struggles is the wounded inner child—the part of us that carries pain and unmet needs from early life. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate way to meet and heal this inner child, often providing a safe space many have never experienced before.

As Vanya explains, “Many people have never experienced unconditional love or a safe space. Sometimes, that’s all the inner child needs to begin healing.”
