Meet Natan

Natan Leijssen is a facilitator and coach, bodywork and Qi gong trainer and a movement and meditation teacher.

His journey began through martial arts, circus, and a deep curiosity for movement. At 18, he discovered yoga, awakening a longing to explore questions of meaning, consciousness, and truth. After two years of studying Philosophy, he left Belgium in 2016 to travel, beginning a journey into a decade of dedicated practice and study of spiritual traditions and healing arts around the world.

From living in ashrams and monasteries in Australia, India and Thailand to studying with teachers, healers, and movement practitioners across many traditions, Natan gradually discovered a deep fascination for the healing arts. He established a full-time bodywork practice in Byron Bay and later Sydney, where years of working through touch, movement, and presence shaped his understanding of the body and its capacity for healing.

Over time, a natural desire to share what he had received began to emerge. Teaching became another expression of the practice, and in 2025 Natan began offering the Zenthai Therapist Program in Europe.

His curiosity continues to draw him into many practices, including yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, psychotherapy, Daoist internal martial arts, Jungian symbolism and dreamwork, plant medicine, group therapy, and men's work. Rather than following a single tradition, he is interested in the meeting point between different approaches and their integration into lived experience.

Natan now travels and teaches internationally, offering courses, retreats, and trainings, weaving together touch, movement, awareness, and contemplative practice. At the heart of his work is a simple intention: to share the healing potential of touch and support the prayer of healing and awakening, bringing us back to our hearts, to one another, and to the deeper sense of community we are part of.
