Herb Beslanowitch
Herb Beslanowitch and Alla Gonopolsky are partners in life and in service of others. They are co-founders of The Black Lotus Academy, a unique school that helps current and aspiring healers become more skilled, confident, and effective in their work (and in their own lives). This “Hogwarts for Healers” combines the power of meditation, cacao, hypnotherapy, and other healing modalities.
Herb is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, EFT & NLP Master Practitioner, meditation teacher, and mentor with over 20 years of experience. Alla is a book author, yoga teacher and brand strategist. Together they love teaching, traveling, scuba diving, and drinking cacao out of giant mugs. (A true cacao couple, the pair first met on Keith’s porch in 2018 and have now hosted hundreds of ceremonies together.) Herb & Alla’s approach honors and utilizes their years of studying closely with Keith, ultimately in service of helping people get out of their own way and step into their own amazing power.
