Our Story

The Evolution of
Transformation

What began in 2012 as a practice focused on holding space and empowering people, has grown into a Global School centered around the power of Transformation.

From Humble Beginnings

From those humble beginnings, in 2016 we became a Meditation Studio located in Ft Lauderdale, FL under the direction of Bill Gisclair-Sullivan.

Bill came from a thriving therapy and life coaching practice that was centered around working with clients experiencing addiction, PTSD, relationship issues, stress, and more.

He built a reputation leading his clients to let go of the labels and focus on living a more intentional, authentic life.

Empowerment and Intention!

Bill found that his success came from leading his clients to embrace the practices of mindfulness and meditation. Those who practiced were much more successful than those who didn't.

"He also found the power that Sound & Vibrational Therapies brought to quieting the mind, relaxing the body, and allowing harmony to return to those who were in a space of suffering."

The Next Step

From Studio to School

After years of private practice, Bill had a calling to open a space where he could share the practice with more people. With his partners, Brian Sullivan and Mike Rocheford, Meditate was created.

Once open, we heard the message of our clients who wanted MORE! We began offering courses and workshops on the practice.

Bill found there was a need in the community for the education of more coaches and teachers, and created his first certification course, Transformational Life Coaching.

"Bill took the best of other programs out there—MBSR, Meditation Teachers Programs, and more—and created a program focused not only on giving his students a certification, but leading them through their own Transformation so they could coach from a place of knowing."

We went from a meditation studio to becoming a School.

A Global Community

In the years since, we have built a reputation of teaching and certifying some of the best coaches, teachers, and mentors in the world. The teachings lean into meeting our clients where they are and holding space for them to find THEIR path in the practice.

From a single storefront, Meditate: School of Mindfulness is now a Global Brand with Affiliates in many parts of the world, and growing.

"We are well on our way to meeting our Vision of creating a Global Community of Teachers, Students, Practitioners, and Mentors."
