Bailey Wiley is a māma, artist/musician, creative arts therapist, and lecturer at Whitecliffe College in Aotearoa New Zealand. She recently completed a Master’s in Creative Arts Therapy (Clinical), building on a Bachelor of Performing Arts and over a decade of experience in the music industry as a creator, performer, and collaborator.
Bailey’s practice is informed by lived experience and a strong belief in creative exploration as a meaningful way of knowing, relating, and healing. With a particular passion for music and voice, she weaves sound, song, and embodied vocal expression into creative arts therapy practice as pathways for connection, regulation, and meaning-making. Guided by a commitment to being of service, she seeks to use her gifts in ways that are purposeful, generative, and meaningful for others. Her work integrates embodied, relational, and arts-based approaches, with an emphasis on process, reflection, and responsiveness.
Bailey’s research unfolds through post-qualitative approaches, engaging creative and embodied forms of inquiry that move beyond fixed outcomes and support evolving understandings of practice within the creative arts therapy field.
