Mantak Chia (b. 1944 in Bangkok) is a teacher and author, and claims himself to be a healer. He is most well-known for his books on Taoism, Qi Gong and particularly Taoist sexuality.
He was born in Bangkok to Chinese parents, and raised as a Christian. He taught in Bangkok and in New York, where he founded the system known as the Healing Tao. His teaching is not without controversy, especially among the Chinese martial arts community.
