Scott Bendell,  Lic., Ac.

Born in 1976, I became passionate about martial arts and spirituality from a young age.  As a child, I remember intuitively finding sore points on my mother's back which helped relieve her migraines.  Growing up, I remember being drawn to ancient spiritual traditions as they carried with them a powerful spirit I felt.  After graduating college with an Engineering degree, I decide to pursue my heartfelt interests in healing, martial arts, and spirituality at the New England School of Acupuncture.  I found school transformative on so many levels as it taught me a completely new way of thinking based on traditional Daoist Medicinal philosophy.  I also followed my passion for ancient self-healing arts by studying with the Grandmaster of Primordial Daoism.  From him I learned medical Qigong, and Internal Martial Arts. In 2002, I graduated with a degree in Chinese and Japanese Acupuncture. 

A year later, I opened my first acupuncture practice in NJ where I began to share some of the ancient traditions I had learned.  Over time I studied with several healers and a Celtic Shaman,  all of whom helped me confront my issues in anxiety, insecurities, as well as injuries I had from playing sports. 

In 2008 I met the founders of the Kunlun System, Diana Daoshi and Mugen Roshi (Max Christensen), who taught me many life changing practices aimed at purifying out physical, mental, and spiritual toxins. I learned to sit still and feel happy and grateful--something that I couldn't do for a long time previously. To this day I am devoted to the Kunlun System and study with the founders as I continue to work on balancing out emotions, and working towards living a heart centered path.  I also continue to study the Okinawan Art of Hakutsuru (White Crane) under Hanshi Vellucci, Tai Chi and Neigong under various teachers.

The more I learn, the more I see that compassion is key to healing.  I hope to bring into my Acupuncture sessions some of these techniques to make it a unique experience.  My greatest joy is to see someone feel measurably better, rebalanced and renewed. Ultimately, I desire for everyone to feel empowered to be able to heal themselves.

In 2021, I moved to New Hampshire with my wife and 3 cats.  We enjoy taking walks into nature, practicing tea ceremony, exploring new towns, trying new restaurants, and living respectfully and peacefully in our natural surroundings.
