“YOU CAN’T LIVE IN A FANCY HOTEL, KATIE.”

 

Recently, my father made a comment that resonated deeply with me. It made me realize that my lifelong aspiration has been to immerse myself in the world of luxury hotels, spending my days and nights creating extraordinary experiences for guests.

In this captivating realm, the cleaning professionals exude elegance, adorned in designer uniforms and equipped with sophisticated cleaning kits. They employ handcrafted aromatherapeutic products and utilize natural, sustainable tools, ensuring an eco-conscious approach to their craft. These knowledgeable cleaning consultants are true experts, equipped with extensive education, training, and experience. They are akin to cleaning concierges, offering tailored services and bespoke packages.

At Glisten Academy, I have the privilege of teaching others how to bring this essence of luxury hotels and spas into the sanctuary of their own homes. I empower aspiring cleaning professionals to elevate their skills and transform mundane cleaning tasks into an enchanting experience. Together, we unlock the secrets of delivering couture cleaning services and creating personalized packages that surpass expectations.

Join me at Glisten Academy and embark on a journey to bring the sophistication and opulence of the luxury hospitality world into your own cleaning business. Let's turn your passion for exceptional service into a reality that will enchant your clients and fulfill your own lifelong dream.

Are you ready to step into the world of luxury cleaning? Let's make it happen together.

Cleaning Business Expert + Marketing Instructor

Avoider of house cleaning since 2005...

  • CLEANING BUSINESS CONSULTANT

    I work with people who want their own dazzlingly successful, upscale luxury cleaning business, by living “The Glisten Life”. Through my training programs, I am here to show you how to:

    I have 15+ years of experience as a professional PR strategist, marketing + communications specialist — and I’ve built my own multi-million dollar, award-winning cleaning business doing my own marketing, web design and branding.

  • MARKETING SPECIALIST

    My fascination with marketing and customer behaviour really became an obsession while I was in university. After working on my BA and majoring in psychology, I completed a diploma in Public Relations. I taught myself everything I could about the (then) emerging field of digital marketing. I love computers and love how web analytics and data can prove how well marketing works. I started teaching at colleges in 2007 and soon was invited to be a speaker and presenter for various companies. In 2014 I started my own consulting firm and have been providing instruction to business owners in all industries ever since. At my core, I am a web designer with exceptional writing talent (ask my friends about how my essays were always given 100% or higher throughout school and university). I do love to write but prefer to use my talents for copywriting (using words to sell!)

"An accidental cleaning expert, I taught myself everything about the industry when I started my eco-chic cleaning business in 2008. I quit my 9-to-5 a few weeks after launching and built my boutique cleaning company into a multi-million-dollar business. My passion is teaching people how to use marketing and smart business strategies to transform their business into a company they truly love."
