Meet Our Team

Bill Gisclair-Sullivan is the Founder and Senior Director of Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound and the creator of The SVMT Method of Transformation—an integrative approach that weaves together Somatic, Vibrational, Mindful, and Trance-Informed practices to support lasting personal transformation.

For more than two decades, Bill has dedicated his life to exploring what it truly means to heal, grow, and live with intention. Drawing from a diverse background in mindfulness, meditation, sound and vibrational therapies, hypnosis, somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, and transformational education, he has developed a teaching style that is both deeply practical and profoundly compassionate.

Rather than focusing on fixing people, Bill’s work centers on creating the conditions in which transformation can naturally unfold. His teachings blend contemporary neuroscience with timeless contemplative wisdom, inviting students to reconnect with themselves through presence, curiosity, compassion, and embodied awareness.

Through Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound, Bill has trained and mentored students from around the world, helping to establish a community of practitioners committed to bringing mindfulness, sound, and transformational practices into their own lives and the communities they serve. His vision continues to expand through the school’s certifications, retreats, affiliate teacher program, mentoring experiences, and online learning opportunities.

Bill is also the author of The Recipe Book of Life and the voice behind Walking the Spiral of Truth and Love, where he explores themes of mindfulness, love, grief, resilience, and what it means to live a meaningful life. His writing reflects the same philosophy found throughout his teaching: transformation is not about becoming someone else—it is about remembering who we have always been.

Known for his warm presence, thoughtful storytelling, and ability to make complex ideas accessible, Bill creates learning environments that are both intellectually engaging and deeply human. Whether guiding a meditation, leading a certification, speaking at a retreat, or mentoring future teachers, his passion remains the same: helping people discover the wisdom already within them.

Sam Wilson serves as our Director of Mindfulness & Relationship Development, bringing over 15 years of experience creating safe, courageous spaces where people can heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.

Trained and certified at the master level in multiple modalities, Sam is often affectionately described as the yin to Bill’s yang. Her grounded presence, compassionate heart, and joyful spirit beautifully complement the vision and teachings of Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound.

Sam’s passion lies at the intersection of movement, breath, and sound. Whether through mindful movement, voice, drumming, or expressive practices, she has a remarkable ability to help others rediscover their authentic voice, unlock their inner potential, and experience the freedom that comes through genuine self-expression.

Now based in England with her family, Sam’s journey with Meditate began in 2016 while living in Florida. Drawn by a desire to deepen her understanding of mindfulness and transformational coaching, she enrolled in the school and quickly became an integral part of our community. Over the years, her dedication, wisdom, and leadership have made her an essential member of many of our certifications, trainings, retreats, and educational programs.

Sam is also the creative force behind many of our transformational retreats, thoughtfully designing experiences that foster connection, reflection, and lasting personal growth. She additionally serves as a mentor and guide within The Tribe Builder Academy, supporting students and affiliate teachers as they build heart-centered, sustainable wellness businesses rooted in authenticity and service.

Brian Gisclair-Sullivan serves as the Chief Administrative Officer for Meditate: School of Mindfulness & Sound, where he oversees the operational systems, organizational development, and behind-the-scenes leadership that help bring the school’s vision to life.

While many people first encounter Brian through his calm presence at trainings, retreats, and events, his greatest contribution is often found behind the scenes. With a thoughtful eye for detail and a natural gift for organization, Brian ensures that every aspect of the student experience—from enrollment to certification—is supported with care, professionalism, and integrity.

Working alongside his husband, Founder Bill Gisclair-Sullivan, Brian has helped shape the growth of Meditate from a small mindfulness community into an internationally recognized school offering transformational education in mindfulness, sound, somatic, and vibrational therapies. Together, they share a commitment to creating a welcoming environment where every student feels seen, supported, and encouraged throughout their journey.

Brian also plays an important role in the development of new programs, educational resources, affiliate teacher support, and the ongoing operations of the school. His steady leadership provides the foundation that allows the teaching team to focus on what matters most—serving students and fostering meaningful transformation.

Known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication, Brian embodies the school’s belief that transformation is supported not only through inspired teaching, but also through thoughtful service, genuine connection, and attention to every detail.

Whether welcoming students to a certification, supporting an event, or helping guide the school’s continued growth, Brian’s quiet leadership is woven into every part of the Meditate experience.
