8 Weeks to a New Nervous System & New You
When you’ve tried it all, this is the missing piece.
Maybe you’ve tried everything.
You’ve changed your diet. Taken the supplements. Gone to the doctors. Read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Worked out, meditated, journaled, optimized your sleep, and tried to do all the “right” things.
And yet, you still feel off.
Maybe it shows up as gut issues, tension, pain, fatigue, poor sleep, headaches, inflammation, or symptoms that seem to come and go without a clear explanation. Maybe your tests look “normal,” but you know you don’t feel like yourself.
At some point, you have to ask: What if there’s a piece I haven’t looked at yet?
The State Shift explores the piece that often gets overlooked: the relationship between your stress, emotions, learned patterns, nervous system, and the way you experience your body.
Because sometimes, the next step isn’t another supplement, protocol, or piece of information.
It’s changing what your body has been carrying.
If you’re tired of feeling off, this is for you
The State Shift by Detox House is for people who have tried it all but are still experiencing physical symptoms.
The strategies that built your life may be costing you physically. This may be especially resonant if:
You have been experiencing physical symptoms that persist despite medical interventions.
You can run a team, a company, a household, and still not understand why your own body won't cooperate.
You've started canceling plans to protect your body, and you refuse to let your life get smaller because of it.
The workout, the scrolling, the glass of wine at night: whatever you use to unwind isn't working anymore, and the people closest to you can feel it.
You're tired of starting over with another protocol and getting your hopes up.
You’re tired of performing ‘I’m fine’.
What The State Shift helps you do
Understand What Your Body Is Telling You
So your symptoms stop feeling random, and you learn to read the signals your body has been sending, before they get loud enough to stop you.
Feel less hijacked by stress
So you're less at the mercy of old reactions like shutdown, overthinking, irritability, and overwhelm, and your body isn't left to absorb every high-pressure season.
Bounce back faster
So when life gets intense (as it does), you can trust yourself to meet it. You learn to find steadiness instead of spiraling, snapping, numbing out, or staying activated for hours.
Keep the Big Life
So you can hold more of what matters (your work, your family, your decisions, your ambition) without your nervous system and body taking the hit. You don't have to make your life smaller to feel better.
What makes The State Shift different?
-
Therapy can be incredibly supportive, but a lot of it stays in the head. Stress responses and survival patterns are not rational. They don’t live in the logical brain. This work goes beneath that. It’s a training system for your nervous system. Less overthinking, more working with the body and interrupting the pattern where it actually lives.. It can absolutely complement therapy, but it’s doing something different.
-
Meditation is beautiful. It’s been game changing in my own life. But for a lot of people, meditation gives relief from the pattern without actually rewiring the pattern. State Shift is designed to help you get to the root of what keeps getting activated so you can respond to life with more clarity, precision, and choice. It doesn't mask the symptoms, it addresses them at the root.
-
You can absolutely try free breathwork on YouTube. While it can be great for quick relief, it won’t get you to the root to create lasting change. These resources lack a framework, lack a witness, and a coach.
It is not the same thing as transformation. The State Shift is a structured process. Repetition matters. Coaching matters. Practice matters. The goal is not to have one powerful experience or reduce stress in the moment. The goal is to build a different baseline and create lasting change in your nervous system.
-
Because eventually that strategy starts costing too much. Your sleep, your health, your relationships, your energy, your joy. A lot of high-functioning people are incredibly good at overriding themselves. Until they can’t. Information alone usually doesn’t change behavior. Real change takes support, accountability, and practice. The people operating at the highest level almost never do it alone. Athletes have coaches. CEOs have coaches. High performers use support because pressure distorts perspective, and skill under pressure has to be trained.

Why This Works
Why This Works
Many physical symptoms have an underlying emotional root cause that rarely gets addressed.
You may already know you’re stressed. .
You may already have insight into why.
You may already have tools to address it when it comes up.
But your stress responses and survival patterns are not rational. They do not live in the logical brain. Many stress responses run automatically, below conscious thought, through your autonomic nervous system
That’s why The State Shift is a body-based training system designed to help you interrupt old stress patterns where they actually live.
Instead of using tools as a bandaid, we get to the root so you can stop experiencing it altogether.
Something needs to change.

A little about Aleks….
I’ve been a high performer my whole life (because I had to be). I’ve built a great career in marketing and tech: I’ve been part of three exits: Digital Impact sold to Acxiom, Yammer sold to Microsoft, ShopStyle sold to Rakuten. I worked my butt off to be in the right rooms. But my body wasn’t loving it. What this looked like for me was: chronic fatigue but pushing through with coffee, poor sleep but mitigating with supplements, a lack of presence (I couldn’t remember what I did last weekend), constant distraction by filling my calendar with plans, and numbing out by scrolling,
I was high functioning (and doing a great job hiding all of my symptoms) so it all seemed ok, until it didn’t.
I didn’t want to just quit and go on a sabbatical. I didn’t want to go become a monk. I wanted to expand my capacity to hold my life. I wanted to fully live in it without getting hijacked by stress and constantly feeling activated. That motivation sparked my journey in trying anything and everything to find my freedom and my joy. Ten+ years of trying all the biohacking, ancient rituals, new technologies I finally found something that really works — a unique combination of things to be exact.
In 2016, I met Wim Hof and tried breathwork for the first time — it was this moment that showed me the real time effects of breathwork. There was no “wait 3 months for this to kick in”. It was immediate. It was an aha moment for me. After that, I took a deep dive into all things nervous system health and studied polyvagal theory, the science of breathwork and contrast therapy, and trained under my mentor Lihi Benisty, from whom I received my breathwork certification. I devoured the works of Dr. Sarno, Dr. David Hawkins, Joe Dispenza, and more while I studied Functional Nutrition at MBG which gave me access to Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Stephen Gundry, Dr. Will Cole, and Dr. Frank Lipman as examples.. I combined all of this to create the Embodied Freedom Method™ which is what I share with you in my signature 8 week program: The State Shift.
I am currently partnered with Soho House, where we have a weekly residency in Nashville, I’ve also hosted workshops at Onsite and other healthcare providers.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I can say without hesitation that Aleks has been more invaluable to me than any other coach or support system in my life. As a high-achieving entrepreneur who lives a very full life, I came to her high-functioning on the outside but carrying so many things underneath that I couldn't quite name or untangle on my own. What Aleks does is nothing short of extraordinary: she consistently identifies the big things I miss amidst the thoughts and feelings in my own brain. I couldn't see where things happening in life across areas like work and finances are actually connected to deeper areas around family, relationships and my sense of identity and self-worth. Most importantly, she sees these layers with such clarity and helps me pause, recognize what's coming up and taking shape, and then helps guide me to ask the bigger questions that have led to incredible breakthroughs that have stayed with me. I have had more aha moments working with her than I can begin to count.”
“Working with Detox House has been pure magic. This experience has helped me acknowledge my blocks and intentionally move through them so I can truly live in joy.
The breathwork may be my favorite, and most transformative part for me. I love that there’s an app to help me stay consistent. Working with Aleks has honestly been one of the most impactful things I’ve done in my life.”
Rose Carter, Owner of James Rose Studio
“From when I started working with Aleks a lot has shifted. Each session has been different. I walk away each time with things to look at. It doesn't feel too deep or dark, it feels curious. When we started, I was up against some very old patterns and old anxious reactions. Lately I am anxiety free and easily letting go of outdated versions of myself. The expansion is real.”
Carlisle Hodges, Founder of Meditation with Carlisle
“What made this program so impactful was not just the breathwork itself, but the way the lessons, journaling, and breathwork worked together to create real inner shifts. It felt meaningful, worthwhile, and deeply transformative. I really trusted Aleks and respected her lessons. She has a very calm cadence to her voice that is powerful.”
Rich SImon, VP at Assured Guaranty
“Aleks’ breathwork is one of a kind. She created such a safe, nurturing and supportive environment to allow me to go deep and access deeper states of consciousness. I was able to see certain life situations with more clarity and get inspired for action during the practices. I can’t recommend her program enough!”
Kayce Laine, Founder of The Sound Healers Society

We use a three-part conscious connect breath in our work. Aleks was trained by Lihi Benisty (at Open in Venice, CA) and uses a similar approach while also borrowing inspiration from Stanslav Grof, the founder of holotropic breathwork.
Breathwork helps you access deeper patterning and build new responses (you’ll learn about the mechanism of theta/neuroplasticity in the program).
-
You shouldn’t enroll in this program if you’re not willing to invest time in yourself and push yourself outside of your comfort zone to achieve real change.
You should not enroll in this program if you are not willing to take accountability for your inner state.
The type of breathwork in our program is not suited for anyone who is pregnant, has recently had heart surgery, or suffers from seizures or epilepsy.

Embodied Freedom Method™ combines breath + somatic processing with subconscious rewiring and ritual-grade integration so your body doesn’t just understand change, it becomes it. Most approaches only do one piece (regulation or deep emotional work or mindset). This method does all three in the right order: stabilize the nervous system (safety first), access and release what’s stored, update the pattern at the root, then reinforce it through daily repetition and real-life integration. And because sequence and safety matter, you’re guided through the process so you don’t get stuck and feel supported in the practice. Aleks is also trained in energy clearing and intuition and will be using these tools in our sessions together.
