Our Story
In 2009 Studio BE founders Emily Becker and Shannon Ellis began working together in their respective therapeutic roles serving clients rehabilitating from neurological injuries. Through their extensive clinical work, they began to recognize a gap in service for people living with sensory overload. In 2019, Shannon and Emily chose to formalize their therapeutic partnership with the creation of Studio BE (Studio Becker Ellis). Utilizing a collaborative, clinical and experience-based approach towards well-being, Studio BE offers resources and programs including Mindful Sensations and Mindful Self-Compassion.
Why we chose the spiral. According to Carl Jung, the spiral is a sacred symbol that represents the journey and change of life as it unfolds. The spiral can represent the consciousness of nature beginning or ending from its centre, expanding outwardly or contracting inwardly. It can also represent the slow reveal of things that are hidden as well as growth and evolution.
