Jutima Chombhubutr

Jutima Chombhubutr

Jutima was born and raised in Bangkok with a strong Buddhist family heritage. At a young age, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia with her family. She earned a Bachelor in Business Administration and International Marketing from the University of Georgia. She began her corporate career with The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta and NYC in Brands and Marketing. She discovered yoga while living in NYC which led her to take a new path in life. At the peak of her career which she loved, she decided to take a year off on a spiritual journey. Her desire to travel back to her birth country lead her on travels around the world studying yoga and meditation. Jutima never went back to her previous corporate life as planned and the evolution of Samahita Retreat was born.

Her current role as Co-founder & VP includes marketing and brand strategies and working closely with Samahita’s International and Thailand based teams.  Although Paul and Jutima live separately, they continue to work closely together on Samahita.
