“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”
Rumi
Is your mind constantly racing? Is fear holding you back? Is your life lacking purpose and play?

JOSH PITERMAN
In a musical theatre journey spanning almost 20 years, becoming the first Australian to perform the roles of The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera and Jean Valjean in Les Misérables on London’s West End, I’m certainly no stranger to the pressures of elite high performance.
But my track has changed. After climbing many mountains, taking in the awe-evoking views from the top, it’s now time to help others on their journeys to the summit. Yet as I look around I see so many people lost on their way or simply struggling to take the first confident steps.
We’re living in an ‘I’m not-enough’ epidemic, therefore the greatest challenge on the path is to become who we really are. The stranger we always were. Life is asking us to peel away the rusted masks of our egos, embracing imperfections and the exciting possibility of our limitless potential. This is the quest - one that requires courage, vulnerability and resilience.
I believe there is a passion waiting to be found in every lifetime - a spark of bliss that ought to be followed. There may be hurdles and road blocks along the way - that’s life - but in the words of great stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius “What stands in the way becomes the way.” The world isn’t here to make us happy, but it can awaken us to be fully alive.
Over many years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the world’s most renowned coaches in the spaces of spirituality, meditation and mindset. I’ve immersed myself in their philosophies and practices and with guidance, I walked a pathless path to uncharted peaks. Now it’s my turn to guide you.
Whether you’re an athlete, artist, or in the corporate space - we’re all performing, we’re all climbing a mountain. Let me walk it with you.
Here’s How Josh Can Help
High-Performance Coaching
Josh’s unique approach to coaching, delves behind the masks and traps of our egos, expanding our connection with our hearts. A journey from human doing to human being. Connection is everything - we’re hard-wired for it. The deeper we connect with ourselves, the deeper those connections manifest in our relationships.

Blending ancient spiritual and philosophical techniques with modern mindset concepts, you’ll move beyond the noisy dialogue of external pressures and self-criticism and explore your relationship with; self-awareness, fear and purpose .
Reconnecting with your deepest feelings and emotions, you’ll release the shackles of insecurities, scarcity and self-limiting beliefs, and like the unburdened child in you who once danced freely, you’ll turn the music back on and play in the game of life.

Meditation Coaching
The aliveness of life is happening right now - in this very moment. The trouble we face is that the mind is very rarely here to experience it. The modern world is more anxious, stressed and overwhelmed than ever. Cultivating calm, stillness and presence has become an elusive superpower very few possess. But there is an ancient tool to tap into that superpower…Meditation.
