Sunil is very intuitive with his work, it was extremely relaxing and felt as if it were a great compliment to the work I was already doing.

Sunil is a brilliant man with a phenomenal gift.  I give him my highest recommendation!

When I started seeing Sunil I was looking to bypass the traditional talk therapy route. I had done many forms of alternative therapy by then and was looking for something deeper. I was dealing with heavy family issues and trying to figure out my trigger points for my own anxiety, fears, security seeking and blaming issues. I wanted to learn how to be less reactive overall and more in the present moment without being afraid to give of myself. I have had a very successful career by intuiting what others needed from me but didn’t know how to create boundaries or say no without any “heat” behind my words because of my guilt about “not being enough” or able to “fix it” when it came to myself or my family. After seeing Sunil several times on a weekly basis I came to understand how much judgment, and overall dislike of myself I had. What I hadn’t realized is that I still needed to release an earlier life trauma that ran me and ate into my overall well being. With the help of Sunil, I was able to release a lot of the pent up junk without a long drawn out talk process. The realization(s) would come a day(s) later after our session(s) and I was able to recognize, from a more objective place, what was going on inside of me. Always the “ah-ha’s” came in a gentle cathartic kind of way that I could really feel inside, not just intellectualize or understand with my head. The work didn’t just focus on one or two issues, it is a holistic approach and truly reached all areas of who I am and what I struggle with. Now I am able to really listen openly without projecting all my thoughts into the situation, live in the excitement of the unknown and still have goals for the future. The biggest gift has been gaining an understanding of how to live in the present moment and has been the key antidote to my avoidance behaviour (aka fear). An added bonus was the willingness of my partner to also see Sunil. We were struggling to accept our opposite natures and how to come to terms with our blended family issues. Sunil has really enriched our relationship by helping us to grow into our potential individually. It’s great to do this work with people you love. More to share, appreciate and love that way…which is the key to all of it anyway! Thanks for your devotion to the people, Sunil!

This is about YOU and my gratitude in meeting you! Today was a great day, for many years ago a wish was granted and you were born! You blessed this planet, this vibrational frequency of energy in your very essence with your first breath when you were born. I give thanks to your mother for bringing you into this world. My life has forever been changed from meeting you. Years ago in a small room in Portland, Oregon- My first time ever hypnotized ~ I have waited my entire life to have met you at that very moment and With all my curiosity, exploration and naive innocence- I was looking for answers and having so many questions- I found you and made my first visit towards my self Sunil! So with all this – I wish you a very Happy Birthday, a blessed day and a quiet whisper to you~ You are the best gift in my life and you are a true gift to this world. Over the past years, I realized my first visit was close to seven years ago and with this unfolding of time, I created turtles yoga & wellness, which is about….beauty, harmony, balance, and wellness. We honour the sacred elements of this beautiful earth and give thanks to the waters on our lands. Turtles were created with you in mind! Turtles are you! Every person is a turtle- for we only have one shell, one life, one breath, one beat, one experience at a time. We must remember to be in balance with our internal selves and find harmony in the beauty around us externally by escaping to the thing we love and honouring our life. Like a turtle, we must keep in balance by catering to the essential needs of our being, mind, body and our essence. We live such busy lives and here at Turtles Yoga & Wellness, we ask you to slow down and detach from the technology, gadgets and gizmos of the world and connect to your inner core, your breath, all the elements within you, and the signature water print you have within. We are excited to share “All the good stuff inside” and truly hope you find time to come take a class and be part of our turtle story! With deep appreciation, Turtles is very blessed to be open and with overwhelming tears of joy- I am truly honoured to share this experience with you! There are over 465 ways to say, Thank you.  Here are a few…Thank you, Ose, Mahalo and Gratitude in Closing Amen, Sat Nam, Namaste, Aho

Sunil Varma helped me to focus and relax my mind. It’s much more than your average meditation practices – it’s nothing like having to perform a full lotus position and chanting Hindi mantras with a group of total strangers in a cramped room that smells like a Moroccan open market on a hot day. If that is what you are into, then there are other options in PDX. After my session with Sunil, I felt a sense of calm in my mind. As if there was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I can’t really explain it, but I felt much more focused. This feeling stayed with me for a while until I totally forgot about it. About a month later I quit smoking completely after 20 years smoking. I didn’t really force myself, I just stopped. Again, something unexplained. I didn’t even go to Sunil to quit smoking, but it happened anyway. I will go back for more sessions with Sunil. His sessions are non-manipulative and you are able to recall everything. The major benefit is that the sessions are relaxing and healing. I highly recommend visiting Sunil for at least a session. It is an experience you will never forget.

Sunil Varma in many ways goes beyond most healing techniques I have encountered to the point of which a masterful beauty becomes your existence.  From my own personal experience, I have found a sense of relief that happens after a session with Sunil.  Not only because a part of you is healed that you never thought could but also because there is finally a feeling of love and pure joy that takes its place.  I would highly recommend his remote energy healing.  You can be going about your day and without expectations or forewarnings, you suddenly realize that whatever feeling that was holding you back or causing harm in your mind or body, is gone.  His healing techniques are the most profound I have experienced and he is able to go deep inside, to the core of your problems, as well as being dedicated to his gift of healing in which he honours his work by being true to it.

Before I found Sunil, I had had five years of traditional talk therapy. It had helped me, but my problems were deeply ingrained. I’d been raised by a socially anxious mother, and what I’d learned from her was: If you want my love, in whatever you do, you must always be successful; with everyone you meet, you must always be popular; and, last but not least, you must never ever make a mistake. My traditional therapist had repeatedly tried to teach me the obvious–that nobody’s perfect, nobody is universally loved, and everybody makes mistakes; but somehow her counsel never rid me of these cruel, unforgiving and impossible standards that were always running at the back of my mind. By the time I found Sunil, I had reached a chronic state of depression and creative paralysis. Over 18 sessions, Sunil aided me in bringing my unconscious feeling and thinking to the surface where I was able to see it clearly, change it, and free my creativity and joy.

Sunil has helped me greatly with life, he has given me direction. My symptom of Claustrophobia and lack of self-confidence took many years away from my life and now the symptoms have gone. His treatments have been a great help. I have tried many different therapies but couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I recommend him to anyone seeking to free themselves of the pain of the past.

This was my first experience with a trained hypnotherapist. I was very at ease with Sunil and found him to be considerate and professional. The sessions were enjoyable, relaxing, and helpful. I feel that my core issues related to self-confidence were addressed for me in a very short time. I have become more positive and confident in my life.

Sunil conducted an extensive pre-treatment consultation that made me feel comfortable and confident. During treatment, I felt layers of resistance softening. I left with confidence, clarity and a deeper connection to myself. I would highly recommend Sunil to anyone wondering if hypnotherapy might be of benefit to them.

Sunil worked with me during a particularly stressful time of my life. Through his calm manner and expert guiding through a hypnotherapy session, I quickly became relaxed and at ease. The work has opened me to new insights and I feel more capable of growing past limitations that I have struggled with for many years. I will be using Sunil as a hypnotherapist again in the future and would recommend him to anyone who truly wants to release behaviors that are no longer useful.

Sunil’s work isn’t what I expected, but it works. I went to him to help me stop procrastinating. He was able to help me overcome some long-held feelings about “not being good enough” to accomplish tasks in a timely manner. Sunil is an amazing healer. 

The work Sunil does is just outstanding. I will be the first to admit I was a skeptic that hypnosis was going to work for me, but it did! I would highly recommend Sunil, for anyone that really wants to quit smoking. The urge to smoke was suppressed, after just one visit. So now Sunil and I are working on my self-confidence issues with hypnosis, and I feel ten times better about myself. Thank you so much!!!

Sunil is extraordinarily insightful and adept at identifying areas and issues that need resolution. His work is simultaneously profound and simple. His gentle presence, expertise and compassionate guidance allowed me to address long-standing limitations to do with self-confidence with complete comfort and ease. The depth of relaxation I experienced while working with him was even noticed by friends. His work grounded me significantly and allowed me to regain my ability to respond effectively to life. I will gladly work with Sunil again and can wholeheartedly recommend his work helping people who are ready to make changes in their lives. I am hoping we can resume our work together, once I return to work.

It’s amazing how just a couple sessions helped move me in a different and better direction in my life and in my business. Sunil was great to work with, easy to get along with and very knowledgeable of his trade. He did great things for me, I highly recommend him.

Sunil is a Master Healer. I have know him for years now and have had a first hand experience of his healing techniques. The results are truly amazing. He has the ability to speed up the healing process physically as well as emotionally .I have encountered a few very stress situations this past year and Sunil was my 911 phone call. He has the power to cut through problems like a hot knife in butter. Sunil does remote healing as well which is a very bonus to me.

His healing work bypasses the problem of traditional psychotherapy, where the therapist becomes an authority figure in one’s life to be pleased and resisted.  Sunil helps us connect at once with our own authority.
