Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound Healing

What Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound Healing does

Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound (operating as Meditate LLC, Florida-domiciled) is a private education and certification school founded in 2012 by Bill Gisclair-Sullivan, with a studio opened in Fort Lauderdale in 2016. The company teaches mindfulness, meditation, sound healing, and somatic practices, anchored by its proprietary SVMT Method of Transformation — a 12-month certification integrating Somatics, Vibration, Mindfulness, and Trance-Informed Therapies, requiring 500 study hours and conferring multiple sub-certifications. Supporting proprietary modalities include FasciaWave Therapy and Advanced Gong Therapies, alongside instrumental courses (Intentional Flute, Welcome to Your Voice) and a Tribe Builder Business Academy for wellness entrepreneurs.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model selling certifications ($195-$2,195 per program), retreats ($1,614-$2,454 inclusive), and self-paced digital courses, distributed through in-person trainings across 9+ US cities, live online cohorts, and self-paced online access. A formal Affiliate Teacher Program licenses the curriculum to independent practitioners in the US, UK, France, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, and the Caribbean, generating annual authorization fees plus per-student material royalties. Marketing is driven by owned content channels — the Recipe Book of Life Substack, Recipe of Life podcast on Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram — supplemented by a Mighty Networks-based Meditate Tribe community platform. The company is founder-led (Bill Gisclair-Sullivan as Senior Director, Brian Sullivan as CEO, Mike Rocheford as partner) with no disclosed institutional funding, operating from a headquarters established in Palm Desert, CA in 2024 alongside the original Florida studio footprint.
