About

I care about homes because I care about the people living in them.

I've spent more than eight years inside Portland-area homes of every kind: busy homes with kids and pets, meticulously kept spaces, and homes that have simply gotten away from someone for a while. Life happens, and I've learned to meet each home exactly where it is. I'm also a mother, so I know what it's like to juggle work, health, and a family's needs all at once, and how a home can end up last on that list.

Inviting someone into your home is personal. I never expect yours to look a certain way before I arrive. My job is to notice what needs care, understand what matters to you, and help make the space easier to live in.

That perspective shapes both the way I care for clients' homes and the guidance I offer people caring for their own.

Guinevere

Owner of Cascadia Home Wellness, certified holistic health coach, and professional cleaner

Many clients and friends call me Jenny, so you may see that name in reviews, especially on Nextdoor.

How I work

I work with a small number of clients because I value long-term relationships. I get to know each home, understand its rhythms, and care for it with the same attention, visit after visit.

Why lower-tox

I primarily use lower-tox, lower-fragrance products because a clean home should not come at the expense of the people or pets living there. They perform beautifully and are more comfortable to work around day after day.

Beyond the work

Outside of my work in people's homes, you'll usually find me in the garden, making herbal tinctures or salves, exploring somewhere in nature, or halfway through one of the many projects I always seem to have going around my own home.

Why Cascadia?

The name comes from the Cascadia bioregion and the mountains, rivers, and rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest I call home. This place shapes how I think about caring for a home: not as something separate from the natural world, but as part of it. Read more about why Cascadia →

How I work

What you can expect from me.

Whichever kind of support you choose, here is what you can expect.

Personalized to you and your home

Whether I'm caring for your home directly or helping you build a care system for it yourself, the approach is shaped around your actual home, household, and capacity, not a template.

Thoughtful product choices

Products chosen for both effectiveness and home comfort, and guidance to help you make your own thoughtful choices when you're ready. The goal is a home that genuinely feels good to be in.

A calm, respectful presence

Having someone in your home is a matter of trust. You'll find me reliable, communicative, and easy to have around.

Practical, not perfectionist

Home care should support the people living within it, not become another standard they feel they're failing to meet. Whether that means a thorough cleaning visit or a realistic home-care plan, the work is grounded in what's actually manageable, not an idealized version of how a home is supposed to look.
