About Nathan Peterson
Bio
Nathan Peterson is a speaker, singer-songwriter, and author working at the intersection of breath, presence, and wellbeing—helping people connect more deeply with themselves and each other.
Following a personal journey through voice loss and the life and passing of his daughter Olivia, Nathan developed an approach to wellbeing and connection that resonates with audiences nationwide. He combines somatic awareness, practical wisdom, and music to support leaders, artists, and communities.
Nathan has presented for organizations including Wellbeing at Work—where Netflix's Global Head of Wellbeing called his session "a much-needed oasis"—the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, OSF Saint Francis Hospital, Advocate Children's Hospital, TAPS, and The Compassionate Friends.
Drawing from his background in Alexander Technique, Fitzmaurice Voicework®, and a range of breath and vocal disciplines, Nathan offers a rare blend of artistic sensitivity and grounded wisdom. His work embodies a conviction that as leaders we must first experience the support we hope to offer others.
In 2025, Nathan and his wife Heather founded Music in Residence, a nonprofit bringing live music into homes and communities across Oak Park, Illinois — paying artists a living wage and strengthening local connection through intimate concerts.
His published works include So Am I: 14 Months of Life, Living, and Letting Go and Dance Again: Grief is Healing, with music that has garnered millions of streams worldwide.
Born in Chicago and raised in Germany, Colorado, and Illinois, Nathan lives in Oak Park with his wife and four children.
