Owner - Boss Lady

As the owner and operator (or ‘Zen Creature,’ if you will) of Zen Home & Cottage Cleaning Services, I wear a lot of hats—and I love every minute of it! With roots stretching from Apsley and Havelock to the GTA and now calling Marmora home, I’ve always had a deep love for cottage country and the people in it. I’ve spent the last several years in Havelock with the love of my life, Rob, building a life full of adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of community spirit.

When I’m not bringing order to chaos (which I adore), you’ll find me leading community projects—like the Havelock Figure Skating Club, HBMProud, the Havelock Outdoor Rink, and the annual Fire & Ice Festival. Oh, and I also run the HBM Ladies 3-Pitch League because, why not? Busy is just how I roll.

At home, I’m a proud homeschooler to my two kiddos, a travel enthusiast, and an animal lover—our dog Ruby is my trusty co-pilot on estimate visits. I’m a straight shooter (some call it blunt, I call it efficient), a people person through and through, and I’m always up for a good laugh. For me, creating clean, peaceful spaces isn’t just a job—it’s a passion.
