Facilitators

Georgia Bailey
I love helping women to find their own voice. I work with those in crisis, bullied or affected by domestic abuse. Having studied and worked in the fields of depth and transpersonal and somatic psychology, I can offer holistic, alternative therapies and education. Creating a safe space for women to learn how to honour themselves is both humbling and a privilege.

Di Ebsary
For approximately 15 years I have supported adults and families in various settings with experiences of domestic violence, sexual assault, separation and personal crisis. I have learnt the importance of care, connection and collaboration in my integrative counseling approach. It is a privilege to help survivors of domestic and family violence regain hope and look forward to a future with safety.

Evangeline Goodfellow
Art has a gentle, amazing way of healing and empowering those who cannot express themselves through words. My purpose is to inspire and encourage new experiences in a safe, artistic space, and to be a bridge to connect people with their inner creative self using Art as their voice. ❤️





Rick Lewis
Having 25 years experience in crisis support and group facilitation, focusing on counseling processes and development through self-awareness, has highlighted the resilience and possibilities of the human spirit. Drawing on my own personal journey and being honoured to support so many in recovery from domestic and family violence, I hope to support wellness into the future.



Kate Raffin
I am a visual artist and enjoy many forms of communicating. My first language is colour. It is an honour and privilege to work with the folk I do - including sex-workers, politicians, groups and teams, families, young and older folk and LGBTQI communities. Basically … humans. ( I enjoy animals too) .. offering us more options and better and more true ways to communicate - both hear and speak our truth. I love connecting to conflict for what it has to offer us. I am an experienced NVC mediator and a trained facilitator and a certified trainer with the Centre for Nonviolent Communication and a Team Animator for www.playinthewild.org – initiations into Nonviolence for youth, families and educators.


Alison Turner
I have facilitated a diverse range of women’s groups and actively support the development of women’s crisis and health services. My primary focus of work has been with children and families assisting them to go deeper into their stories. I use a range of body based and expressive therapies to assist individuals to connect with their feelings, intuition, body wisdom and inner knowledge thus focusing on individual’s strengths either through group processes, counseling or education.
