Core values.

Our guiding principles

‘Yatra’ is originally a Sanskrit word, but is also used in Thai language. It means ‘journey’ and is commonly associated with a spiritual journey of healing and emotional significance. We chose it to denote our links with the pragmatic and spiritual Thai culture and also to make reference to our intention of supporting clients on the first step of their journey to emotional security.
