About Dr Em
Hi!

I'm Dr Emily Watters, known as Dr Em to my patients.
I'm a Kiwi who studied biochemistry and psychology at the University of Canterbury, while working as a Personal Trainer and competing nationally in Olympic Weightlifting.
I studied Medicine in Western Australia, and worked through rural WA and the East Coast before starting my GP training.
My mum was a GP and I've always known that being a GP was what I wanted to do. I passed my GP examinations with the highest marks in QLD.
When I’m not at work, you can find me playing with my beautiful border collie, rock climbing with my husband, reading a good book or lifting weights at the gym.
My Passion
I have always been a passionate advocate for women, and I sank my passion deep into Perimenopause and Menopause when I was confronted by the lack of knowledge I was given in medical school and GP training about a hormone deficiency that will affect 51% of the population.
I founded The Pause Clinic to give women somewhere to go where they will be listened to, believed and supported through the difficulties of Perimenopause, and the decades after Menopause. Menopause is a natural process, though the female body arguably hasn't evolved to live with Menopause - as early as the late 1800s, the average woman died in her 50s. We now live for many years without hormones that are essential for our emotional, mental and physical health, which can have profound consequences for our hearts, bones and mental health.
I am committed to ensuring all of my patients are able to age well, and continue feeling their best into their 80s and 90s. I practice non-invasive cosmetic procedures for the same reason - women deserve to look their best, and this means something different to everyone. I use refined techniques to achieve natural results that enhance a woman’s existing features. Consults to discuss facial rejuvenation through treatments that relax muscles or provide structural support are available throughout the week and on Saturdays.
