Tim Thayer MD has deep relational intelligence cultivated through the practice of nonviolent communication, his own healing work, and the study of individual, ancestral, and collective trauma and their integration.
Dr Tim trained and practiced as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine and general cardiologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he dedicated over 10 years of academic practice to the clinical care of people with cardiac conditions, to rigorous peer-reviewed scientific research, and to the training of the next generation of doctors.
Dr Tim has developed an authentic, welcoming presence aided by intentional contemplative practices, including immersive training in mindfulness facilitation, eastern movement practices, and Tibetan Buddhist meditation.
The Birth of Constellation
Tim Thayer MD left his role as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine in Cardiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in February 2026 to follow a deeper calling. He saw how the relational needs of people suffering from cardiac conditions are mostly unmet by the current healthcare system. The result is that many people find themselves without a light as they cross a dark valley. Since the system required to bring that light to those who need it didn’t exist, Dr Tim (with the help of others including his wonderful wife, Allison) made one.
Welcome to Constellation.
A Welcome from Dr Tim
