Real feedback from real clients
Col. Rajesh Sharma was God-sent to me! I found him through a simple Google search, and I’m so glad I decided to try his therapy sessions. I was going through a very challenging phase in my life due to prolonged health issues since the beginning of the year, which had led to anxiety, loss of confidence, and sleeplessness. Rajeshji created a customized 21-day programme for me, combining his deep knowledge and experience in psychology, hypnotherapy, and CBT paired with the spiritual wisdom he has gained through years of working closely with many spiritual gurus. The programme also included valuable insights on physical fitness and rebuilding muscle strength, drawing on the discipline and fitness regimen he developed during his time in the Army. His guidance helped me overcome my anxiety, regain my self-confidence, and learn effective breathing and relaxation techniques that brought me a deep sense of peace+calm that made me overcome years of insomnia and dependence on sleep medication. What truly sets him apart is his compassion, genuine care for his clients, and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that the transformation happens from within. I’m deeply grateful for his mentorship and support and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking holistic healing and well-being.

I honestly didn’t know how much I was carrying until I started my hypnotherapy sessions with Sir. From the very first session, I felt heard and comfortable enough to open up without feeling judged. The sessions helped me look at certain emotions and experiences in a completely different way. Over time, I started feeling calmer, lighter, and more at peace with myself. It was a very personal experience for me, and I’m truly grateful for the support and patience throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Chaitanya Raj to anyone who feels stuck and wants to work on themselves from within.

I’ve been attending the guided meditation sessions led by Rajesh Sharma, and I must say they’ve become a beautiful part of my week. The space is cozy and peaceful — it immediately puts you at ease. Rajesh’s voice and presence are calming, and his guidance makes it easy even for someone new to meditation to feel connected. What I also love is the warmth of the group — it’s a lovely way to meet like-minded people and share positive energy.
The Stature Group
An amazing place filled with positive vibes and serenity personified. Col Rajesh aces his craft of guided meditation and by the time you leave the place you are rejuvenated like never before. A must to maintain that crucial balance between the senses and most of all mental health. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to experience the power of meditation.
