About Kyle Powderly: Masters of Health Science (TCM) Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) (Graduate 1st Prize for TCM subjects) Bachelor of Fine Art (UNSW) AACMA Accredited Practice Principal 18 years in Clinical Practice Link to Kyle's Food Photography blog: http://yum-oh.blogspot.com Kyle Powderly has been practicing as a Natural Health Care provider since 1990 - over 18 years - specialising in natural, preventative medicine and well-being maintenance. She has given over 25,000 individual treatments during that time, to a wide variety of people for their conditions.

In addition to running her busy private practice, Kyle consulted 1 day per week at the public Acupuncture Teaching Clinic of the University of Technology, Sydney, for 9 years. During that time she shared her knowledge and experience with upcoming generations of intending Chinese Medical practitioners in the Acupuncture Clinical Internship program. She now periodically conducts peer-education seminars, being committed to the importance of education and the sharing of knowledge. Kyle has traveled in China and Vietnam, observing treatments in clinics and hospitals there. Her most recent visit to China was in April 2007 to attend a conference in Shanghai presented by Dan Bensky, Volker Sheid, Jane Lyttleton and Professor Wu Bo Ping, followed by a clinical Internship programme at the Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou.

Her teaching background extends through Universities, TAFE, Schools, Community Colleges Women’s Health Centres and National conferences, where she has taught programs in health care, for both professional groups as well as lay-persons. These include: acupuncture clinical skills, therapeutic massage, nutritional education, dietary therapy, yoga, meditation, stress management and general health maintenance. Kyle’s expertise in Dietary Therapy developed through a variety of sources and is a vital part of her clinical practice. In her childhood, her parents ran a weekend catering company, where she formed her initial interest in things culinary. The company produced a wide variety of foods from many different cultures, including: French, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Indian and Japanese, depending on the occasion. Weekends were often spent in the kitchen peeling vegetables, rolling spring-rolls, filling cannelloni, battering croquettes, frying papadams, making mousaka, stirring fried-rice, etc, and slowly absorbing the aromas, textures and colours of international cuisine. In 1989, Kyle spent a year working as a chef in Laurie’s Vegetarian Restaurant in Darlinghurst, Sydney, while simultaneously studying remedial massage therapy. (It was a busy year!). Kyle now publishes delicious recipes and photographs on YUM-OH Food Photography blog: http://yum-oh.blogspot.com In 1990, Kyle established her first clinic in Wagga Wagga, in rural NSW. Committed to ongoing professional development, Kyle studied Classical Hatha Yoga at the Forest School of Yoga from 1990 and Tai Qi from 1993. She completed an accredited course in Teaching & Learning for Adult Education in 1993, and a VETAB accredited course in Counseling Skills in 1994. During the early years of practice, Kyle was fortunate to have the guidance of several professional mentors, including: Jaqueline Walsh, Val Clark, Toni Jewell, Will Adlong and Steven Peterson. In 1995 she returned to Sydney to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, receiving her Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture from the University of Technology Sydney in 1998, where she received the Chinaherb Graduate 1st Prize for academic excellence in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She completed her Masters of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine at the University of Technology, Sydney in 2001. The use of Palpation as a diagnostic and treatment tool has always been an area of particular interest. Her skill in this area developed from a variety of sources and has remained a key feature of her clinical practice. The initial development of this interest in ‘touch sensitivity’ began with three years training as a sculptor and multimedia artist at the University of New South Wales College of Fine Arts, (COFA) where she was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Art in 1988, and through her early massage therapy training. This skill has since become refined through what is now more than 18 years of clinical practice. Kyle is a keen photographer and has made a book of photographs about her travels in China. Her work can be found showcased at: http://kyle-5.smugmug.com/China Kyle currently owns and manages the Natural Health Clinic of Traditional East Asian Medicine in Annandale, Sydney, where she practices and provides a professional consultancy service for individuals, groups and organizations in the learning of skills for health care.
