She also conducts seminars periodically, being committed to the importance of education, both of new students and peers in clinical practice. 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 nine years. During that time she shared her knoledge and experience with the upcoming generations of intending Chinese Medical practitioners in the Acupuncture Clinical Internship program.

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!).

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 17 years of clinical practice.

Kyle is a keen photographer and has made a book of photographs about her travels in China.
