Emily Bartlett

I grew up in a tiny coal town in Pennsylvania that boasted the second largest outdoor swimming pool in the state, one bowling alley, and whole bunch of churches.

My dad was a small town family doctor, and I always wanted to follow in his footsteps – minus the small town.

But then I got distracted. I studied classic literature and creative writing in college. Followed a passion for photography. Traveled. Bartended. Discovered yoga. Found Chinese medicine and moved to California.

Now, all grown up, I’m a mom and a wife.

In my clinical practice, I use acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and lots of listening.

I specialize in fertility and pregnancy – but I treat families for all sorts of conditions, and I like to imagine it’s much like my dad’s small town medical practice was decades ago. But my version is in Los Angeles.

At home in my kitchen, I’m a bit obsessed with real, traditional food, and can be often seen hanging cheese from a giant ceiling hook or stirring a soup pot full of bones. Sound weird? I like to make enchiladas and chocolate chip cookies too.

And whenever I can, I hop in the ocean.
