Meet Alexandra "Alex" Hemelt, our dedicated lead trainer who brings scientific expertise and genuine passion to The Butterfly Effect Studio.
Alex earned her Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation from the University of Delaware, where she developed a deep understanding of biology and behavior—knowledge she now applies to helping clients achieve their wellness goals.
When she's not in the studio, Alex is a devoted animal enthusiast who shares her home with five snakes, seven lizards, five schools of fish, and a beloved tortoise named Theo. Her patience and attention to detail in caring for these creatures translate beautifully into her individualized training approach.
Alex finds balance through quality time with family, gaming, and exploring nature trails. Her scientific background, combined with her empathetic nature and commitment to growth, makes her an invaluable team member ready to guide you toward transformation with science-backed strategies and heartfelt encouragement.
Meet Jill, our newest trainer who brings a naturalistic, grounded perspective to The Butterfly Effect Studio.
Jill is working towards a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Ecology and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology at the University of Delaware, and comes from a family of yoga instructors and outdoor enthusiasts.
When she's not in school or the studio, Jill is focused on the fine arts, animals, and adventures in the great outdoors. She's often drawing, writing, hanging out with her pets, fishing, or out exploring on hiking paths or 4x4 trails. Through these pursuits she gained a drive towards understanding and gaining a healthy body and mind- you can't go on many adventures without those!
Her passions for nature and culture make Jill a valuable asset to the Studio, where she encourages clients to pursue their own balance in life and explore all that they can. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you on the path to life's adventures.
