Every word, action and smile has the power to create positive change.

Strategy with substance. Engagement with heart.

And yes, I have a clown.

Underpinned by trust, respect and honesty, I work with people, organisations and communities to create experiences that clarify ideas, bring people together and turn good intentions into meaningful outcomes.

My approach combines practical experience, clear strategic thinking and creative engagement, helping participants feel genuinely seen, heard and involved.

And then there's Gertrude.

Meet Gertrude WellEase

Gertrude is my contemporary clown and roaming character. She uses humour, costume and gentle improvisation to welcome people in, break the ice and turn ordinary moments into something memorable.

Gertrude might be holding the microphone, wandering through a festival, getting a room of strangers talking or encouraging someone to step outside their comfort zone.

She's playful, but there's purpose behind the play.

Together, Liz and Gertrude bring experience across tourism, regional economic and community development, facilitation, training, performance and events.

The result is a slightly unusual but highly practical combination: professional enough to get the job done, playful enough to get people involved.

How we can work together

🎤 Events & MC: Bring energy, warmth and connection to your event with an experienced MC who can read the room, keep things moving and make people feel welcome.

🎪 Festivals & Community Activation: Create moments that invite people to stop, participate, connect and remember your event for the right reasons.

🌱 Workshops, Training & Speaking: Engaging sessions that combine practical knowledge with participation, creativity and a healthy dose of human connection.

💡 Business & Creative Mentoring: One-on-one support for small businesses, creatives and community entrepreneurs who need fresh thinking, practical advice or someone to help turn an idea into a plan.

🧭 Facilitation & Strategic Development: Thoughtful, well-structured facilitation for community, arts, tourism and regional development projects, helping groups navigate complexity, find common ground and move towards action.

Playful doesn't mean fluffy.

I believe good engagement has a purpose.

People are more likely to contribute when they feel welcome.
Groups make better decisions when people feel heard.
Ideas become stronger when different perspectives have room to breathe.

And sometimes the quickest way to get people talking is to put a clown in the room.

Looking for someone who can hold a room, lift a crowd and still keep an eye on the bigger picture?

You're in the right place.

Let's talk about your event, project, challenge or idea and shape something that works for your people, your purpose and your budget.
