Uraidla Family Practice

Dr Emma King is a Specialist GP and Lifestyle Medicine Physician living and working in the Adelaide Hills. She combines evidence-based medicine with Lifestyle Medicine, a whole-person approach that considers the biological, psychological, social, cultural and environmental context of each patient’s health. Using health coaching principles and the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection and avoidance of risky substances, Emma works collaboratively with patients to understand the drivers of health and disease, identify meaningful goals and develop practical, sustainable strategies. She has interests in women’s health, mental health, metabolic health, preventive health and longevity, supported by her unique background in medicine, molecular biology, biotechnology, research and medical education. Dr Emma sees patients in both Mount Barker and Uraidla and conducts telehealth from Uraidla Family Practice.
