OUR STORY
Where Purpose, Partnership, and Home- Come Together
& Cleaning Meets Craftsmanship
Together, we’re building a life rooted in intention, family, creativity, and meaningful work with a shared belief that home is sacred, stability matters, and details make the difference!
Here’s how it all began — and where we’re headed.
Carissa — The Heart of Queen Cleaning & Sacred Spaces
Steve — The Structure, Skill & Craftsmanship
Carissa is the founder and heart behind Queen Cleaning. With a background in social work, real estate, wellness and home-energy alignment, her work centers around helping people feel supported inside and out.
Her gift is understanding connection between environments and well-being--- and creating spaces that feel calm, intentional and aligned.
Carissa also founded Sacred Spaces, a vision that began as a woman's holistic practice and is not evolving into nature centered retreat stays. The First step of the dream is unfolding through the Air Bnb and short-term rental decision of Queen Cleaning.
Her goal is simple:
Create spaces that help people breathe easier, feel grounded, and come home to themselves.
Steve brings strength, grounded skill, engineering logic, and creative craftsmanship to every project. His background in mechanical engineering and project management gives him the ability to turn ideas into reality — efficiently and beautifully.
Through his business, Beardwood Designs, he creates handcrafted barnwood pieces such as:
Fireplace mantels
Chests
Coat racks
Shelving
Rustic home décor
Personalized signs
With his hands-on expertise, Steve became the backbone of our Maintenance & Repair Division, transforming Queen Cleaning into a truly full-service home care company that handles everything from cleaning to skilled repairs, outdoor services, and property refreshes.

Together, we share a beautifully chaotic, full-of-life blended family
Our home is a mix of laughter, projects, pets, creativity, healing, kids, deep conversations, and endless dreams. It’s the heart of everything we build — and everything we hope to offer others.

Why our Story Matters
Queen Cleaning is not simply a service--It's a relationship, a philosophy, and a family-driven mission.
You're not hiring a crew. You're welcoming people who care about homes, families and energy in the same way they care for their own.
Carissa brings Heart.
Steven brings Hands.
Together, They bring Harmony.
That is the story behind Queen Cleaning--- a story built on intention, connection, craftsmanship, and the belief that home is where everything begins.
​
A Vision We’re Creating — Sacred Spaces
A blend of nature, healing, creativity, and intentional living.
​
Sacred Spaces began as Carissa’s women-focused holistic practice. Over time, as our relationship and partnership grew, it evolved into a shared dream:
To build unique short-term rentals, healing Airbnbs, and a regenerative farm and retreat center where people can learn:
Sustainable living
Survival skills
Earth connection
Nervous system healing
Intentional, mindful living
We see a future filled with treehouses, cabins, water features, gardens, animals, fire circles, community, and space to breathe.
Sacred Spaces is where all of our gifts — the heart, the healing, the design, the craftsmanship, the creativity — come together.
