My Favorite Practitioners

Teresa Farr is my hairdresser, eyelash and eyebrow tinter and psychological sounding board who reminds me that to look good is to feel good. Her salon, Evolution, is a fabulous place.

Sharon Kraus, acupuncturist, has brought me a great deal of relief for peri-menopause, thyroid wackiness and digestive upsets. She also does Chinese medicine and nutritionally counseling. Plus she has a cute office cat. Email or 214-828-4558

Katherine H. Little, M.D., gastroenterologist, caring and ultra-competent with an excellent and happy office staff. She integrates diet and exercise advice with solid medical training. Be prepared though. She's very popular and new patients face a wait of two months or more to get in. But she's worth waiting for. 214-820-3040 http://www.dhat.com/physicians/little/little.asp

Loretta Peet, DDS, is my dentist, a charming and intelligent person. I'd had a bad run of dentists, with three in a row leaving their career due to mental instability. Dr. Peet repaired their wacky work and made my mouth feel good again. 972-530-6709.

Stephen Pounders, M.D., internist. Efficient and personable, up to date with the latest in medical technology, totally relaxing yet very efficient office and staff. Office in Oak Lawn. 214-520-8833

Debbie Ramaker, massage therapist, helps me work out tension from sitting at a computer too much and various injuries from working outdoors. She has a deft sense of anatomy that really helps when working out persistent problems. If I want simply total relaxation, I go for one of her heated stone massages. http://www.handsofpeace.biz

Cynthia Shaw helped me turn the corner on some serious tummy troubles through expert massage and reiki/energy work. She integrates emotional issues with her physical healing. Her 25 years of experience really shows! http://www.cynthiarshaw.com

Jennifer Walz, LMT: Ended in one session 10 straight months of menstrual pain and helped me with an odd period of insomnia and anxiety -- all with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She is now on hiatus while raising a beautiful boy. http://consciouscrossingsinc.com/

Funny Times, an absolutely hilarious collection of cartoons delivered monthly. My mental health depends on it. The best bathroom reading in the world. http://www.funnytimes.com/

Jacquie Lawson. The classiest e-cards on the web. http://www.jacquielawson.com/

Similasan. World’s greatest natural eye drops -- in three varieties. http://www.similasanusa.com/

WeatherUnderground. When you REALLY want to know what’s going on. http://www.wunderground.com/

XM Radio. Satellite radio that feeds my need for aural stimulation in the radio wasteland that is North Texas (IMHO). http://xmradio.com/
