I believe you can find many rehabilitation/ healing centers in Thailand but to find one like Yatra is
rare. They do business by heart, strong passion, a great amount of care and compassion. They
genuinely want you to be healed. Let me tell you how my journey at Yatra began.
I had always wondered about myself " how come my happiness and content with my life without
daily stress didn't translate well to a quality of sleep.
I had a very good life more than anyone could ask for (strong and healthy marriage with a
loving, caring and very kind husband, living in a beautiful home surrounded by nature and
picturesque views, a loving dog and long term financial security). However, I've been suffering
from insomnia and intrusive thoughts for over 30 years. It doesn't make any sense right? But it
made so much sense when Mike enlightened me with my childhood traumas. Right after our 1st
meeting with Mike, my husband and I had no hesitation to sign up for the treatment at Yatra.
The team at Yatra designed the weekly treatment program for me individually which included
EMDR, CBT, yoga, tai chi,PMR, meditation, massage,group session, TRE and excursion. The
therapists were very professional, experienced , knowledgeable, insightful, and trustworthy. I
was deeply moved by their incredible amount of care and sincerity through their eyes, facial
expression and actions.
At the very beginning I was reluctant with yoga and meditation and didn't want to join on the 1st
day because those didn't work with me personally in the past. However, with Mike's
encouragement, I committed and embraced all treatments. I have been thankful and grateful
ever since!
All these treatments helped me to heal bit by bit, especially yoga and meditation with Carrie. It
helped me to connect my mind with my body. Once I had calm states; I had been through a
journey of my mind and it allowed me to understand my childhood traumas and to have self love
and self compassion. EMDR and CBT helped me to reprocess traumas. Mike , Richard and
Conrad had done a fantastic job to use those tools. The group session to watch videos was
boring , but necessary, educational and informative. It was important to learn neuroscience
about traumas. It gave you all insights of trauma causes and effects. Also, the Yatra book is
amazing. It has all the information you need to know behind traumas and healing tools. I still
read it repeatedly.
All the staff at Yatra had done a wonderful job to service me. They would go and above and
beyond to meet my needs. I felt so much love and kindness from all the staff I interacted with
even with the maid and the cook. They were so caring and service minded. From my
observation, they went extra miles to service very needy,demanding and difficult clients without
complaining. It was amazing how much patience they had to put up with those. I asked Chu
once why they did that and the answer was to make sure that those unmet needs were satisfied
so the clients didn't have to worry and then they only focused on treatments/ healing.
Amazingly this philosophy got across the board. Well done! With all love, caring and kindness
from all the Yatra team, especially from Chu and Carrie, I began to heal very quickly.
Regarding accommodation and facilities, this place was secluded, peaceful and amazingly
beautiful with a garden and sea view. I felt really peaceful and calm during my stay. I was so
lucky that I had the nicest room with the most beautiful view of the sea and islands. It had a
very nice pool and sitting areas for you to relax.
Food here was amazing, delicious and nutritious with a wide range of selections eg.Thai, Italian,
European, American, Mexican and even Arab menus. You named it lol. Also, there were many
delicious and healthy choices of fruit smoothie.
After the treatment program at Yatra,I can notice transformations. I'm calmer and more mindful.I
begin to have self kind, love and compassion more. Also, I can sleep a bit better. I still practice
yoga ,tai chi, PMR and meditation daily.
Mike's voice and suggestion is always loud in my head " To heal it's not just a therapist job but
also my work and effort put into it".
Furthermore,I have so many useful tools from CBT back home when triggered, especially
setting boundaries ( one of my favorites which I totally failed in the past lol. Good job guys!.
Again, I couldn't thank you enough for your superb service with a great amount of kindness.
Yatra Centre is a beautiful place run by extremely qualified amazing people . I have personally sent numerous clients suffering from trauma to yatra and have seen huge growth from all of them . If you or your loved ones are struggling , i strongly suggest reaching out to the team at Yatra. Thank you again for all you do .
Thank you so much to Mike and the Team for the incredible care and guidance I received during my time at Yatra. The EMDR Therapy helped me to get away from my anxiety and fears and learn to trust myself and believe in myself again. The CBT and IFS tools they taught me help me understand my thought patterns and work through them in a very practical way. I am grateful for everything I learned. The Yatra centre is stunning and the perfect place to find peace of mind.
I am 3/4’s the way through my stay at Yatra. My original review was written from the perspective of online experience’s with Mike and Yatra, and this edit is to change it to the perspective of someone who has experienced the comprehensive residential program.
My life has been forever impacted in the most positive of ways by my stay here. From the moment I walked in the door, the atmosphere has been conducive to healing.
My first EMDR session was quick to replace any skepticism I had with disbelief at the effectiveness of the therapy, and subsequent sessions have only furthered that amazement.
CBT, and IFS therapies have left me just as impressed, and their is a unique way that Mike has a way of combining these different modalities and making them not just lead into each other, but work in concert with each other in a way that makes it feel like it’s actually one big modality.
Outside of the clinical therapy sessions is a constant supply of tools from yoga, to meditation, to mindfulness, to ice baths and more. They have what is seemingly the perfect cadence of scheduling to make it feel busy, but relaxed at the same time.
The staff in all positions clearly love what they do, and who they work for, and I would offer there is no better way to judge any organization than their employees contentment with their jobs/careers.
I will leave here with a giant head start on healing from some serious trauma, with the tools to continue helping myself, and with a sense of gratitude that is beyond words typed in an online review.
I recently embarked on a transformative healing journey at Yatra Trauma Centre and cannot express enough gratitude for the impact it has had on my life. Through their EMDR therapy and remarkable staff, my experience at Yatra Truma Centre exceeded all expectations.
The staff have genuine compassion which is evident through their dedication to assisting not just myself but all the guests at Yatra. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everyone felt supported and cared for. Teddy and Fern who operated on a duty system and were available via WhatsApp and helped with absolutely everything from ordering vapes to going to the supermarket.
I suffer with Complex post traumatic stress disorder and EMDR therapy has helped me regain control over my life through therapy and holistic practice. E.g. Yoga, meditation. The yoga teacher Kerry is amazing and incredibly talented and knowledge.
What truly sets Yatra Trauma Centre apart is their staff’s exceptional kindness they consistently demonstrated.
Yatra Trauma Centre not only changed my life but also restored my belief in the genuine goodness of people.
If you are seeking a life-changing therapy experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Yatra Trauma Centre. I’m more then happy to discuss my experience with anyone considering attending.
I’ve had the privilege to experience the extraordinary services provided by the Yatra Center. It is, without a doubt, an extremely beautiful center. Not only does it have an aesthetically pleasing ambiance, but it is also filled with safe and well-maintained facilities.
The standout for me has been Mike Miller, their head therapist, who is specifically skilled in a wide range of trauma treatment techniques. His profound expertise and empathetic approach make him exceptional in his field. His commitment to healing and uplifting his patients is truly noteworthy.
Furthermore, the center’s staff deserves a special mention. They are exceedingly cordial and always willing to lend a helping hand. Their consistent support and assistance truly enhance the overall experience at the Yatra Center.
What’s truly unique about this center is its comprehensive approach to treatment. It is indeed rare to find a place that focuses on treating the underlying issues, which in many cases are traumatic experiences. They delve deep to address the root cause, thus ensuring an effective and long-lasting recovery.
In terms of value for money, I must say that the Yatra Center surpasses all expectations. Their world-class services are more than worth the investment. For anyone seeking a safe, supportive, and effective environment for healing, I can’t recommend the Yatra Center enough. It is truly a world-class center that is unmatched in its dedication to treating trauma.
I cannot thank Mike Miller enough for what he has done for my son. His EMDR therapy has done for my 40 year old son, what a multitude of rehabs over the years never could. I still don’t quite understand all the intricacies of his therapy. All I know for sure is that I finally have my son back. We tried several high end rehabs in Chiang Mai. All of them were a disaster. For anyone hesitant about sending their loved ones abroad for treatment, Yatra Centre is the only place in Thailand that I would recommend. I don’t know how these Google reviews work and whether or not people can see my name etc… But if anyone wanted to hear more from my son or I, please contact the Yatra Centre and mention this review. I will let them know that I am happy to answer any questions that I can.
This place is amazing and what they do to help change your life is phenomenal! The staff is amazing the program is amazing! I highly recommend this facility if you or a family member or friend needs help!
