***"Each time I walked the land I felt transformed. Now, living here the spell is unbroken.
The sawyer delivering the cedar siding said with typical Vermont understatement, 'You've got a nice piece of land,' to which I replied, 'Yes, I do.' When you come you will understand, you will feel.
"One-on-one and in small groups I look forward to sharing with you the fruits of my decades-long practice of yoga, Zen, vegetarianism, Kabbalah, alternative medicine and natural healing."

Dr. Fialkoff was licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Naturopathic Doctor in 1983. He opened Natural Medical Service, a general, private practice in West Hartford, Connecticut helping to pioneer the spread of naturopathic and alternative medicine in the northeast. He has worked extensively with HIV/AIDS patients as well as with elderly immigrant and inner city populations.
Dr David established Bald Mountain Retreat in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom as a place where people could be immersed in natural health- healing, Zen, yoga, Kabbalah, recovery, recreation, art, nature, peace and alternative medicine. "Come live the change."
Dr. Dave took an interest in natural health and spirituality from his youth, becoming a vegetarian and studying eastern spirituality, in particular yoga and Zen from his early teens. Seeking truth, he combined his spiritual practices with a study of the natural sciences, eventually enrolling in naturopathic medical school.
Dr. Dave has been a student of Kabbalah for decades. Kabbalah teaches that human body, psychology and soul are all reflections of universal patterns underlying and permeating the world.
Synthesizing eastern and western spirituality with naturopathic philosophy, Dr. Dave demonstrates that health is achieved through aligning our beings with the universal, natural order. "The way is like the bright sun in the clear blue sky. Yet, people ask, 'Where is it?'"
Dr. David has authored (see Writings),
The Mystical Affirmations of Israel
Kabbalah Primer
Kabbalah Healing; Descent for the Purpose of Ascent
The Poetry of Disease
Ways to Save (Your) Life
and a fantasy poem, not just for children

Dr. David Fialkoff, N.D. has practiced naturopathic, alternative medicine for almost thirty years. In addition to his naturopathic doctorate he has a B.S. in Agriculture and Natural Resources.
(Naturopathic medicine requires a four-year, post-graduate education very similar to standard medical school except that it teaches the use of alternative health care therapies which stimulate and strengthen the body's own detoxification and healing abilities. These natural health therapies include, nutrition, herbalism, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, live food therapy, manipulation, massage, weight loss program and more.)
