She teaches at Webster University and St. Louis Community College, speaks to community groups, and provides consulting and training for therapists and educators.
Kyle is committed to the “Health at Every Size” philosophy, and to promoting the equality of all human beings.

Katy Kram,
MPH, RN, RD, LD. "Eating well is one of life's
great pleasures
...and YOU have the right to a healthy relationship with food without the dieting madness that locks you into a struggle to change your body.
At Freedom from Dieting, I base my approach on the belief that diets do not work and that people can regain the wisdom about eating they once had. Diets teach people to place their trust in an outside authority to tell them when and what to eat. This distances people from their intuitive knowing, causing them to stop hearing the body's inner voice.
People can learn, again, to eat from internal signals of hunger and satisfaction. With exhilaration and trepidation, they take steps to throw out external food rules and to give themselves permission to make their own food choices. They learn to challenge societal standards of beauty and move toward self-acceptance. In a supportive atmosphere, they look under surface hungers and discover what it is they really want in life.
As they continue in their journey, people also refine life skills around dealing with emotions, setting boundaries and nurturing themselves so that food, weight and body image obsessions no longer occupy the place in their life that they once held." -
Marna Goldstein.
"By focusing on what you desire, you will soon become
extremely clear why you want to lose weight and exactly
what you are reaching for. I will clearly and precisely
walk you into your vision so that you can create the most
detailed and powerful vision each and every day.
I will then work with your thoughts to retrain your brain to treat the CAUSES of your overeating. I don't want you to lose weight again, I want you to lose weight permanently. Through guided meditations, Law-of-attraction strategies, and behavioral and cognitive restructuring, you will begin to see your retrain your mind.
Through a comprehensive process, I will guide you simply and gently to examine your emotions and behaviors to become a naturally thin thinking and behaving person. With my 14 years of interviewing and closely examining (as well as personally transforming my body) these naturally thin people, l will attack the cause of your emotions that are keeping you overweight. I will take all of the mystery out of eating thin from within. Through this coaching process, you will see long-lasting body changes. As you begin to develop a naturally thin way of thinking, behaving and living, you will truly enjoy eating, and at the same time achieve a slimmer more beautiful body, while changing your long lasting beliefs. I will show you how to live without scales, calorie or fat-gram counting, without complicated food combining or fanatical exercise regimens. This method is natural and automatic. You will see belief and weight changes like never before.
This approach gives you total FREEDOM. Diets give you restrictive eating rules that may help you temporarily lose weight, so long as you continue to restrict your eating according to the diet. At some point, (when you lose the weight or when the diet fails), you always go off the diet. Thin From Within's FREEDOM Coaching™ techniques gives you permanent weight loss without any restrictive eating. There’s no diet to "get off of." This method not only permanently frees you from your excess weight but frees you to completely enjoy eating whatever you want to manifest your thin body that's been there all along..." - Anita

She integrates these approaches to mind and body healing to address the whole person. Clients describe her as gentle and compassionate in a strong way, tempered by an easy sense of humour."
- Chiara Manodori LCSW. "Eating Disorders can be caused by a combination of factors including: socio-cultural pressures to engage in body-hatred behaviors, family background, childhood events, current life stressors, and even personality traits. I use a combination therapy approach which includes cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and psychoeducational therapy as well as addictions and socio-cultural models. We begin with getting to know one another and establishing a trusting relationship and then work with specific tools to break the cycle of dieting/bingeing/purging. Once the symptoms begin to decrease, we can then address underlying feelings and conflicts that supported the eating disorder."
