Hi, I’m Chelsey Hinger, the person behind The Focused Owl.

I started this business because I believe we should work to live, not live to work. After spending years in the corporate world, I realized I was constantly choosing between my job and everything else that matters: my mental health, my family, and just having time to enjoy life. I wanted more room to breathe, and I figured others probably did too.

I built The Focused Owl around things I care about: integrity, mutual respect, and a slower, more sustainable pace. I work with service-based business owners who value reliable support without the need for chaos, micro-management, or artificial urgency.

I’m detail-oriented, thoughtful, and calm by nature. I do my best work when there’s trust, clear communication, and a shared understanding that we’re both human beings with full lives outside of work.

When I’m not helping clients stay organized, you’ll probably find me hiking in the redwoods, curled up with my cat, or planning my next trip somewhere peaceful.
