[ABOUT ME]
I'm Siân Ellis Williams, founder of ELLISTORE - Wellbeing, and I'm so pleased you're here. I wanted to share a little about the journey that led me to sound healing because it's a practice that has genuinely transformed my life. When I first began my own journey, I found so much comfort in hearing the stories of others who had experienced similar challenges. My hope is that by sharing mine, you'll gain a little insight into who I am, how sound healing supported me, and how it may support you, too.
For over 13 years I have worked within the architecture and design industry, a career I continue to enjoy today through my consultancy work. However, after years of chronic stress, perfectionism and constantly pushing through, I experienced severe burnout and a mental health breakdown that led to a period of severe clinical depression. It was an incredibly difficult chapter of my life, but one that ultimately forced me to stop, reassess and begin rebuilding in a different way.
During my recovery, I found myself returning to sound healing again and again. Although it had been part of my life for some time, this was the first time I truly embraced it. It became one of the few things that brought moments of stillness, rest and perspective when I needed them most.
The more I experienced its impact, the more I wanted to understand it. That curiosity led me to train as a sound healing practitioner, and what began as a personal lifeline gradually became both a profession and a completely different way of approaching life. It gave me the confidence to build a career that felt more aligned with who I am.
Today, I divide my time between design consultancy and ELLISTORE - Wellbeing, working with private clients, luxury venues, retreats and corporate organisations to create bespoke sound healing experiences.
My background in architecture continues to influence my work. I care deeply about creating sensory-led experiences where the atmosphere, environment and every detail work together to help people slow down, switch off and simply be.
What I love most about this work is the connection it creates - to ourselves, to others and to a slower, more intentional way of living. I can't imagine my life without sound healing now, and I feel incredibly grateful to share it with others.
