Talia Eisenberg is a serial entrepreneur and the co-founder of Beond Co, a San Francisco- and Mexico-based company providing safe and effective psychedelic-assisted ibogaine treatment for those suffering from trauma, addiction, and behavioral disorders. Her passion for supporting others in healing through Ibogaine is personal, as it was the treatment that catalyzed her recovery nearly 15 years ago. It’s what inspired her to open her retreat center in Cancun, where people can come to be safely and comfortably guided through recovery, transformation, and integration. Her unwavering mission is to directly impact and help thousands of people heal and to go on to lead meaningful and purpose-driven lives. It’s been extraordinary for her to witness people come back home, to themselves, in such short periods and to watch them come alive when they connect with their soul’s unique gifts and purpose.

Talia was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and moved to NYC with her family in her teens. She received her bachelor’s from the New School and opened one of the first young emerging art galleries on the Lower East Side, Heist Gallery, when she was just 20 years old. Talia’s path took a trajectory of despair when addiction took hold following a routine dental procedure, spiraling into a secret battle with opiates. Her journey through the US’s best rehab centers offered no lasting solution, leaving her trapped in a relentless cycle of relapse. It was through a friend sharing his transformative experience with ibogaine that she discovered a glimmer of hope. Despite her fears and doubts, she embarked on a journey that would challenge her deepest fears and ultimately free her from the chains of addiction and catalyze her healing from intergenerational trauma. Within 10 hours of the ibogaine treatment, everything changed, and Talia left without any physical withdrawal symptoms or a single craving.

After her experience, Talia continued with her self-work and integration. She received her MA in Energy Medicine from the Academy of Intuition Medicine and her MBA in Sustainable Solutions from the Presidio Graduate School. Recovery also fueled her entrepreneurial spirit and she went on to found several companies including Henley Premium Vapor, Re:Mind, a platform of virtual reality solutions aimed to introduce and popularize meditation practices for everyday people, and the Healer Collective, a digital marketing and business development agency specializing in mission-led and social impact companies.

However, it was her experience with ibogaine that changed her life most. Although extraordinary it was also fraught with risks due to inadequate medical support and therapeutic preparation provided by the facility. During her journey, she saw a vision of a space where others could recover and transform under the safe guidance of medical and therapeutic experts and where other healing modalities and energy work could be incorporated. It was this vision that inspired Talia and her husband, Tom, to establish Beond, providing the highest level of personalized medical care offered by a team of doctors and nurses who have been working with ibogaine for decades housed in a luxury villa providing all the comfort of a boutique hotel.

Fifteen years ago, Talia could never have imagined where she is now, leading a life of stability and meaning as a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur who supports others in their wellness journeys. Through her own experiences, she’s reclaimed what she believes is everyone’s foundational right to happiness and purpose. Witnessing hundreds of clients come through our program and find their gifts has become the essence of my mission. It's not just about recovery. It's about finding meaning, healing, and embracing a brighter future.

What are your secrets to living a high-vibrancy life?

I work with psychedelic medicines and I have spent years integrating them. I don’t do them often but when I do they are intentionally pointed at creating deep change for personal growth. I use daily tools like energy medicine healing and meditation, listening to leadership and personal growth podcasts, regularly testing my blood at Beond, and adjusting supplements.

I have a solid relationship with my husband that’s always evolving. We share daily and keep no secrets. I am blessed with a few good girlfriends I regularly connect with and that connection deepens over the years. I surround myself with positive people who are on the planet living their mission. I play with my kids daily and am reminded of pure presence and joy, our foundational state preprogrammed by fear. 

I listen to my intuition. The small voice within has grown bigger and bigger through the years. I often search my mind for fearful thoughts and prove them wrong by taking love-based actions and the opposite of skewed thought. I orient my mind to what I can change, not what I can’t. I try to do what I say and say what I do. Integrity is important. 

I witness daily transformations in others at Beond, proving that change is possible even for the toughest cases. 

Who is a woo-woo working woman that you admire and why?

My grandmother, Bella Eisenberg, who I just named my 11-week-old daughter after. She survived the Holocaust and instead of being bitter, she chose to be empowered. She was service-oriented and helped many people just by being kind and a good listener. She opened an art gallery in the US and traveled the world with her girlfriends. She practiced forgiveness and was a joyful, dynamic, very intuitive person.

She always said happiness is a choice. She didn’t go to high school or college because she was in Auschwitz but she taught me to read The NY Times every day. She taught me about art, culture, and she took me around the world when I was a child. 

How do you balance work, wellness, and spirituality?

I use my internal compass to check in moment to moment related to what needs attending to and I manage these various areas actively. I turn off my phone regularly and be present or spend time with my family. I then use intentional blocks of time to focus on improving the company by working on an area of business development, responding to emails, meeting with team members, or checking in with clients. I ask myself, “where can I make the most impact in the least amount of time” and I do that. 

I ask for help when I feel overwhelmed and I delegate as needed. I can’t do any of it alone. It takes community, mutual trust, and boundaries. I am always learning, I sometimes make mistakes but I try to improve. I talk to myself kindly which wasn’t always the case.

Was there any one significant event that moved you onto the path of becoming the woman you are today?

Yes, it’s been a slow evolution over the last five years but ibogaine was the catalyst. Before that, I was a victim of my mind, intergenerational trauma, and addiction. I became addicted to opiates at the age of 19 after a routine dental procedure, before I knew it I was buying them off the streets where I lived in NYC. This went on for a few years and after multiple failed rehab attempts at the best rehabs in America, a friend told me about ibogaine. I flew to Mexico and was dosed with ibogaine in a fairly stunning environment where there was no therapeutic preparation or medical staff to support me. Ibogaine has heart risks if not mitigated by a team of trained medical professionals. However, the ibogaine worked, all cravings ceased in a single night and I never touched an opiate again. More so it showed me that addiction was a symptom of unhealed trauma and anxiety. During the ibogaine, I had a fantastical vision that one day I would open up a world-class ibogaine facility that would help many people. Fifteen years later it has happened. 

It didn’t all get better right after ibogaine but took years and many different tools, patience, and effort. I am still in the process but so much happier today. It showed me that I had the power to choose how to live and how to respond to life. That maybe I was worth saving.

You have been fearless in following your vision for Beond and bringing it into reality. What did that look like for you?

A deep knowing that this was my mission. To help myself and then help support others unstuck themselves by offering a different option. I believe everyone comes to earth with a unique mission and gifts that, when activated, make them feel alive and fully connected. That is their purpose. Ibogaine is a tool that can help show each person what their unique purpose is and it can also show each person some hard truths. It’s a truth medicine. It’s up to the individual to continue to work through some of those hard truths to hopefully also become more connected to their unique mission. 

Following my vision in more practical terms looked like doing scary shit. I never thought I would get married and stay married, have babies, get an MBA, start companies, live in Mexico, and support my father in his end-of-life care with grace. I didn’t believe in myself for the first 25 years of my life. I had little faith or connection to my higher self and love.

How would you advise other women with a vision or a dream who are unsure how to take action to bring it to life?

Pause and listen. Do some writing. Get very specific about what you want (set an intention), change your mindset by visualizing what it feels like in your body as if it has already happened, ask for guidance, take action, and watch it happen.

Ibogaine is most known for its incredible power in helping individuals with chemical dependencies. However, its power of healing goes way beyond addiction. How would you describe ways Ibogaine helps individuals become the most magical versions of themselves?

Ibogaine works well for opiate and other chemical addictions but it also supports the interruption of behavioral addictions like relationship codependencies, sex, disordered eating, sugar cravings, and even phone addiction. It’s a natural antidepressant and can work in healing depression and anxiety. Some people come to us to get off SSRIs and reset their brains after years of daily use. It’s an incredible tool for healing PTSD and defragging the mind or helping to declutter. Ibogaine uniquely works on memories helping to remember and release old memories that may be keeping people in a negative belief system/fear

For biohacking potential, it promotes GDNF in the brain, which is a protein that helps with focus, joy, and curiosity. GDNF has also been shown to help with neurodegenerative disorders symptoms like Parkinson’s and tremors. Ibogaine is the longest-lasting psychedelic, meaning it stays in your system for up to 3 months supporting neuroplasticity (the ability to learn and implement new habits). 

It’s also unique in that it connects people to their ancestors. Many people come to us who have recently lost someone close to them. It helps people reconnect, say goodbye, and have closure.

I must stress that it gives people awareness and choice. It’s up to the individual in the months preceding to take action and make changes in their life.

It is said that we are our own best healers.  What are your thoughts on that? Any advice on how to tap into our own healing and guiding powers with or without the assistance of Ibogaine?

Fifteen years ago, during my first Ibogaine trip, one of the first things I realized when I opened my eyes was “I am my own best therapist”.

I understood I had to stop seeking answers from outside myself. I had been to the best therapists in LA and NYC and too often was seeking answers from experts. We are our own best experts. We just need to stop and listen.

What are ways one can continue to bring an emphasis on mindfulness, connection, and wellness into one’s everyday life after leaving Beond?

The power of community is very important. We are often broken through family community dynamics during early childhood. We can heal later through conscious community by encouraging one another through sharing, listening, and daily tools for living  

What is the best professional feedback you’ve ever received to help you grow as a woman, leader, and entrepreneur?

Always be learning. Always be integrating. Don’t be afraid to fail. Life is a school of learning.

Personal Mantra?

I have a TM meditation mantra but lately, I like to repeat to myself “I am love, I am free” in various moments of stress.

Advice to the Woo🖤Woo Working Women out there figuring out how to live their best high-vibrancy life?

Stop comparing yourself to others. Compare yourself to five years ago and actively look for the growth and celebrate yourself. Don’t forget to enjoy the ride. Laugh a lot!
