Mike Mandl

Mike, born 02. 06. 1969 in Steyr/Austria into a family of health professionals, quickly realized that the highest form of healing art is the one that prevents sickness from ocurring at all. He has been living and practicing TCM and shiatsu for the past 30 years in Vienna. He is the director of the largest and most successful shiatsu institute in Europe which has had a close working relationship with medical institutions since 1993 – a true trailblazer for the integration of east and west. Mike Mandl is a sought-after and popular lecturer in the whole of Europe, with a far-reaching international network. It qualified him perfectly for the position of Director of the triennial European Shiatsu Congress, which he transformed into the biggest shiatsu related event world wide. About two months of every year he is offering his post graduate programs in German or English, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Finland being countries he is visiting the most. Not infrequently he can be found in Asia in the pursuit of authentic knowledge and the roots of Daoism, since, in his own words: “Every form of medicine requires a spiritual component.” Mike is the father of three children, and a passionate gardener and snowboarder.
