Dr. Rachna Sharma (PhD)

The Body Cliinic by Dr. Rachna Sharma is a place of excellence in mental fitness and more.

I have, for the longest time in my life, merely survived. I barely could go through my week and could live life only between Friday night and Sunday morning, I was ever so optimistic, even a fun person to be with, possibly the life of the room wherever I went, but these were heavily superficial, I was nothing but cynical, angry and judgemental about life and everyone around me in the inside. I was obese, weighing 108 Kgs, and even after sleeping for hours and hours, I would still get up tired and exhausted. I never could rest and was always on the go and I could never stop hearing the voices and continuous thoughts in my head. It was like a train from a tunnel that would never end for eons. I was depressed.

After years of mulling over taking up therapy, I finally took the leap and booked an appointment at the body cliinic. One session was all it took to understand the wealth of knowledge and wisdom that Dr. Rachna Sharma carried; the extent of wholistic knowledge that she possessed was impressive, and the intellectual sharpness, warmth, and empathy that she possesses are unrivaled by others in this field. I was gifted her revolutionary approach that focuses not just on the mind but also on the body and, most importantly, the soul. Her enthusiasm and optimism are infectious, and I got on board as fast as I could.

I kicked off my journey with her expert guidance, and we started with mindfulness and awareness of my thoughts. She also guided me on a lifestyle change in terms of diet and bodywork that was customized for me. Over the course of time, I learned more about myself and the way my mind works, and her insightful one-on-one sessions and educational and in-clinic workshops are exemplary. The workshops also gave me the fantastic opportunity to access a great community of fellow travelers on this journey; I have made some great friends, mentors, and well-wishers for life.

With patience and faith, I healed the wounds that I carried for years. Dr. Rachna Sharma’s unique ability to hold up a mirror in front of me and show me who I am and what my story is has been a game-changer in my life. She is unlike other mental health practitioners who primarily give you guidance, she goes to the deep roots of the issue you have and impacts change that is fundamental. More importantly, she provides you with the tools that enable you to do this yourself for the rest of your life. I have heard many of my peers go through mental fitness journeys, but I have not seen anyone go to the depth and breadth I have traveled with Dr. Rachna Sharma. She also truly leads by example, working on herself more than anyone I have met.

I now lead a life that is transformed in multitudes. From merely surviving, I now thrive, I wake up with energy and genuine enthusiasm, and I am honestly optimistic. There is tremendous energy, zeal, and love for myself and life. I have deeper relationships with my loved ones that are true and not superficial. From 108 Kg, I dropped down to 80 Kg; as impressive as a loss of 28 kg may sound, the weight that I have lost in my head is beyond tonnes. Anyone can follow a diet and lose weight, but it takes mental strength and fortitude to persevere, and I have been privileged to be gifted this by the wise minds and kind hearts of the body clinic.

I walked into the body cliinic looking to heal my wounds of the past and simply wanting to sleep in peace; I walked out a transformed individual, having gained a coach for life in Dr. Rachna Sharma.

I am eternally grateful for the incredible impact the body cliinic has had and continues to have.

Come join us for life larger and more joyous than you could have ever imagined.

I found Dr. Rachana Sharma on Practo and boy, how did I get so lucky? Ever since I was a little girl, I had been chubby and had to deal with criticisms and bullying as I didn't fit into "society's definition of beauty". I never felt beautiful, never liked my body and had a very low self-esteem. But as you grow older (and wiser), you realise there's more to you than just how you look. Dr. Rachana has been of tremendous support in my journey to love myself the way I am and to the unlimited possibilities this life has to offer - if only we're more open and receiving. I had met a few doctors/ psychologists before and it felt like I was talking to a wall, like the cold procedural questions and protocol that they have to follow. No words of comfort, no gaze of compassion or care. But with Dr. Rachana, it’s so different. I can see that she genuinely listens and understands me. *** *** ******** ********* ***** ***** ********** *** *** **** **** ***** ******* *********** ** *** ******** No one - absolutely NO ONE ever told me that I could love myself just the way I am - that i didn't need to change a thing to love myself. And I am so grateful that I found her. Life gets a little overwhelming sometimes and we are unable to deal with our emotions and feel lost. If you’re reading this, you’re probably searching for someone to talk your problems out. I highly recommend Dr. Rachana. She’s like Dr. Jehangir "Jug" Khan from that movie Dear Zindagi, only difference - she’s for real !

Working with Dr. Rachana Sharma over the years has been a life transforming journey for me - the journey of embracing self through Self Study. The journey of discovering my inner strength and resilience I never knew I possessed.

My mental health journey has been a battle all my life. I proudly can say that today, my mental health and my ability to cope with life in general has come on leaps and bounds and I am able to regulate my emotions and even more clearly now.

Dr. Rachana has been guiding light on my path to healing and inspires me to rise above the challenges I have faced. The words of wisdom, shared by her, who has triumphed over her own traumas, reminds me that I have the power within me to transform my pain into growth, and my wounds into wisdom.

Throughout my sessions and various workshops I was part of over the time, I learnt to have complete faith in myself and welcome all emotions. I learnt the significance, depth and understanding by experiencing and witnessing myself on how beautifully my mind, my body and my soul work together effortlessly to keep me healthy .

I have learnt to recognise and identify my triggers, to pause and reflect during my trigger moments, to get to the root of my triggers and work through it. I learnt to listen to my body, my mind and my soul 😌.

I have learnt to navigate through my deep rooted conditioning to the other side of the shore to see who I am, what is that I want at the core of my being and what kind of life I chose to live while I am here.

Her direct but non-judgemental manner made hard topics easier which I really needed and appreciated. Reliably insightful observations allowed me to stop and consider my perspectives in a way I hadn't before.

I completely trusted the process. Her patience, understanding and guidance have enabled me to make lasting positive changes. I feel more confident and prepared now to deal with any issues that might come up in future.

If it's possible for me then it's possible for you too. If you are willing to commit to yourself, I would definitely recommend her.

I am truly grateful for this educational, strengthening and enlightening experience. I am very glad to know she is there always, if I need any future help. Thank You🙏🏻

I'd definitely recommend doctor to anyone who is willing to let go and is ready to choose to heal cause for the longest time I didn't understand why I would get depressed for no reason and have panick attacks that seemed like the end of the world to me. I mean Inspite of having an amazing job, super supportive parents and friends I still felt helpless and nihilistic about life.

After many years of procrastination I finally decided to consult a doctor and seek advice. But the Psychologist I had consulted before Dr Rachna told me I was overthinking and didn't seem to be intrested in my story. So, I was almost convinced that I wouldn't get any better and lost hopes on therapy in general. But I strongly felt like I had to give myself another chance and went on to consult Dr Rachna Sharma.

I remember feeling clueless and lost when I first entered the clinic because there was constant mind chatter and repetitive thougts that drained my energy and I didn't know what to tell the doctor or where to start my story from. Anyone who spends 5 minutes with doctor would appreciate her for her genuine interest in your story and your well-being and that's what made my journey easier. While I didn't know what my diagnosis was at that time, I remember leaving the clinic with a hope to rebuild the strength I needed in my life. And now, with having worked on myself for the last 20 months or so under doctor's guidance, I have learned and understood that to heal is a choice one makes and I am ever grateful for Doctor's guidance and Patience towards me. The ease with which doctor explains me the science behind why I feel for what I feel leaves me intrigued to work on myself everytime.

Her optimism towards life is infectious and I am grateful for the awareness doctor helped me get about myself and the tools she has given to handle my depressive moods or any mood in general. While it's no cake walk I can definitely say I am hopeful in my process of healing and I have never felt more empowered and confident about the choices I am making and the way of life I am choosing.

Thank you Doctor and the entire Team at the Body Cliinic for helping me take back control of my life.

Loss of time and money.

During whole session doctor hardly looked into my eyes, kept on looking behind my back - that wasn't giving the feel of connection between doctor and patient at all. For all the problems that I shared, doctor's reply was "great" or "awesome" with a completely uninterested smile. After listening to my main problems (was that listening at all?), doctor started asking about my personal life and started giving "treatment" on that, though my issue was not about it. In general whole session took about 15 minutes (!) during which mainly I was speaking. Doctor didn't even make any notes about me or my problems. She asked me to write down few words, such as "vagina" and "disgust" and never explained what was that for. After that she said she had another client and our session was over. Like, seriously, would I come back to a 'specialist' who didn't show any interest on my case and didn't make any attempt to go deep into my issue?

Few days after I visited a specialist who gave me proper consultation for the same price and who was interested in helping me - who was working along with me instead of giving 'home task' like Dr Rachna did. Miss Rachna, if I wanted to work at home I wouldn't even come to your clinic. I came to see a specialist whom I didn't find there.

****** **** ******** ******* * *** ******** **** ****** ****** ****** **** * ************ ************ ****** ****** ** ****

I didn't throw any of that into your face right in your clinic because firstly because of being too much polite and secondly because I wanted to check how other specialists work in this field.

I consider these 15 minutes in Body Cliinic as loss of my time and of 1000 rupees. If there was a chance, I'd claim for money return.

A good counselor/psychologist should first listen to the patient before prescribing any course of action. This doctor spent a grand total of 10 minutes with me - she did not probe to understand my real issues, jumped to conclusions, and started making judgmental statements about me ("I can see you are an X sort of person!" "Someone like you would hate abc...") five minutes in.

She reminded me of one of these fortune tellers in carnivals rather than a real doctor - making generic, catchall statements in the hope that some of it would click.

Her "cure" for me would make you laugh (I can laugh now - at that time, I was too flabbergasted to see the humorous side of it). When I told her I am generally unhappy, she asked me to rate my happiness on a scale of 1 to 10. I rated myself a 4. Then she wrote down a sentence on a piece of paper. It went something like "Interesting point of view. I have this point of view." To me, it meant nothing. When I asked her what this meant, she brushed my question aside and asked me to read the line aloud multiple times, louder each time. I did so, mentally cringing and wondering what on earth it meant. Suddenly, she asked, "Now, do you feel better?" I mean - what am I supposed to say? How am I supposed to feel better when my problems are still un-understood, let alone resolved! But to avoid being rude, I said, "Erm, sure. A little better."Then she asked me to rate myself on the happiness scale again. I cautiously gave myself a 6. "No," she interrupted, "I can definitely sense an 8 here."

Just like that. Out of the blue, I had gone from a 4 to an 8 by reading aloud two meaningless sentences four times.

Definitely NOT recommended - an experience with her will put you off psychologists/counselors forever.

Coaching

I stepped in out of curiosity. It turned to be the best choice I ever made. As I look back now, the change in my self with respect to my self esteem, relationships is appreciable. I didn’t expect such shift in my mindset.

Thank you Dr Rachna for opening up a new world to me where I continue to unfold.

If anyone is looking for change in life, you would greatly benefit going here. The skilll sets she has shows her training and experience which meets the international levels. I contemplated going for therapy as I don’t have any suicidal or depressive thoughts. There was a part of me which wanted to work on things at the different level. I have everything in life, great career, relationships but something I know needs to be looked into. After discussing with friends , when they said now everyone chooses therapy . It kinda gave me some mental support. Probably I needed that. I made up my mind to go for therapy. I couldn’t get appointment from other doc, got through Dr Rachna though. I didn’t want to consult her because of high charges.

Still as I made up mind , i didn’t want to take a step back.

With lot of questions, doubts, apprehensions I went for this session. She spent 65 mins with me.

At the end of the session I thanked my stars for been fortunate that earlier therapist was not available. Else I would’ve missed learning about myself is such a short span of time.

I was amazed at her understanding of mind and how human psychology works. For someone so logical like me, made a lot of sense.

I did share my take aways with my friends (little personal 😊) as they have been seeing therapists for years now (I didn’t know of it till I discussed with them 😊). They said they took about 9-10 months to reach at this level which i did in 65 mins.

So finally my takeaway working with Dr Rachna is less number of sessions, more take ways with a cost involved. Worth it! Must go!

I met Dr.Rachna in the month of February 2019.

I barely could understand why my panic attacks which last happened in my 12 th grade happened again.I had lost control on myself.A lot of problems apart from myself were also happening.And this was that phase that my sister , prayerful people in my life or my friends and closest of them all couldn’t understand anything.Which is when I convinced myself to meet her.

I remember I had come for a consultation and everything felt so comfortable, I spoke to her like a friend and felt completely at ease. And she owned me up ,took charge of me and her confidence that day is what compelled me to take up sessions with her.I was previously told to go for assessments but Dr. Rachna recognized me as a very self aware person. And mentioned that she could take this forward with her sessions in her own way and assessments weren’t required.

As a matter of fact there is no looking back.Session after session there were homework from her end but there were changes in me,my life,my ability to sort things and it is an experience that can’t be put better with words.

But rest assured ,she is your mentor,guide ,friend and a colorful being waiting to help you identify and come terms with your reality.Allow her to.She will let you be .And not just be . BUT BE THE BEST YOU ARE MEANT FOR.

Thank you for this tremendous experience.

All good wishes,

To the team of Body Clinic

Spread your light across !

Past many years, I was facing trouble to deal with myself. Trust issues, low self confidence, dropped self esteem, constant overthinking and digging up past for no reasons kept me depressed ruining my personal and social life. Things always seemed to run out of my hand with no control of mine. I tried self remedy with diversions to snap out of such mind set. At times it worked, but mostly it intensified the feelings at every next encounter.

Then I got to know about Dr.Rachana through practo. Like everyone else, I too had second thoughts on visiting a clinic for psychological problems (typical Indian mindset). But, giving up hopes on my self remedy, I needed to try something new.

At my first visit, My mind was convoluted with everything that bothered me. Dr.Rachana, understanding this situation, walked me through a series of stages to know me better. After merely explaining her what I was going through, she recommended a breathing exercise to be done every 15 mins a day. Like everyone, I was sceptical about it. But, I needed to try something different . So I chose to follow what she suggested.

To my surprise, it actually worked! While I was trying to get solution for my surface problems, she gave a remedy to sought out the mess at roots. Changes were incredible! Things that used to bother, thoughts that used to enervate, could no longer act the same way. With every next visit, I was able to narrate my situation better than what I used to do previously. Now I hardly feel low or depressed, cause they taught me to fight back.

I am happy to come out of a stereotype mindset and chose to seek help from Dr. Rachana.

Thank you Body Cliinic, for everything you have done :)

I used to be very much stressed earlier but now after meeting Dr. Rachna Sharma and after some sessions, I am feeling very much change within myself. I feel more relaxed,calm and peaceful.

Started seeing the life in very beautiful way.

I was trying to get conceive from more than a year.. got stressed. I was finding difficult to have a peace of mind. Earlier i was reluctant to consult a therapist but now after attending these sessions I can say, I made a good decision. Dr and all members are very friendly.

I am very much happy that I came here. Thanks to you doctor and members.
