About your host Aleks:

Aleks Chojnacka has been on a health journey for many years, learning so much along the way. At a young age, she experienced debilitating fatigue but was unable to solve it through a Western medicine approach. Eventually, she turned to alternative methods and experienced a transformative shift in her health. By discovering the power of the mind, body, and spirit connection through different tools and practices, she was able to regulate her nervous system and step back into the most energized version of herself.

Knowing that so many others have had similar struggles, Aleks pursued credentials in health coaching and breathwork and started her own wellness studio. Detox House provides people with what Aleks found to be the MOST effective tools in her own healing–the trifecta of saunas, cold plunges, and breathwork. Her end goal is to empower individuals to get rid of the things that no longer serve them, whether a difficult mindset or physical ailment, and step back into their truest selves so they can live their most joyful lives.

Aleks' dedication to sharing these life-giving practices establishes Detox House as a community marked by positivity and transformation.
