Guidance Work

Before I wrote code, I spent years learning how to be present with people. Teaching yoga. Working psychiatric crisis. Sitting with the dying. That work didn't stop when I became a software engineer — it just found a new home.

Home Here Now is where I offer this work formally — guidance for people ready to turn inward for answers to their outer lives. Someone to walk alongside you while you find your own way.

The Path Here

2018 — 2022

Yoga & Meditation Teacher

Four years teaching group classes and private sessions. Learned to hold space, read a room, and meet people exactly where they are.

2019 — 2021

Mental Health Specialist

Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital. Worked with patients across all ages and diagnoses — crisis intervention, de-escalation, therapeutic presence.

2020

Prison Coding Instructor

Taught software development to incarcerated individuals. Learned that transformation happens when someone believes in you before you believe in yourself.

2017

Master's Degree

Conflict Management & Organizational Leadership at Lipscomb. Studied how people change, how groups work, and what sustainable transformation looks like.

Ongoing

Hospice Volunteer

Sitting with people in their final chapter. No agenda, no fixing — just presence. This work shapes everything else I do.

What the Work Looks Like

There's no formula, but there's usually a rhythm:

Finding Your Signal

Beneath the mental chatter, borrowed beliefs, and old fears — there's something quieter that knows what's true for you. We learn to tune in.

Clearing the Noise

Old patterns served a purpose once. We examine what's actually yours and let go of what no longer fits who you're becoming.

Testing in the Arena

Insight without action is just philosophy. We design experiments, take calculated risks, and learn from what actually happens.

How I Show Up

I'm not here to tell you who to be or what to want. I'm a companion, not an authority. The goal is always for you to need me less, not more.

We can talk for hours about what might work — or you can try something and find out. I prefer the second. Direct experience teaches more than theory ever will.

Your career, relationships, health, creativity — they're not separate problems. They're all connected. We address what needs addressing, wherever that leads.

What People Say

I came in thinking I needed to figure out my next career move. Turns out I needed to figure out why I kept running from the one I actually wanted. Jeremy didn't let me off the hook, but he was kind about it.

Sarah M.

He asked me one question in that first hour that I'm still sitting with, six months later. In the best way.

Marcus T.

I appreciated that he never tried to fix me or give me a five-step plan. He just kept showing up, asking good questions, and trusting that I'd find my own way.
