IT’S ALL ABOUT... Treating Yourself
When was the last time you were kind to yourself? Every day might just be the same ole rat-race; up at dawn, kids to school, do your chores, take care of the animals, kids, home, fix dinner, TV and bed, and maybe in the meantime, you try to earn a paycheck and work! Your muscles ache, your back hurts, you’re in a crummy mood and you simply can’t unwind enough to get a restful night’s sleep. Does that sound familiar? Honestly, when do you take time to relax and do something special for YOU? It’s time!
Let me tell you what is available to help ease the stress right here in Atlanta, Texas. We have our very own professional licensed massage therapist named Martie Smith. She’s located at The Cutting Company; 101 E Allday Street. (806-236-5329) Martie definitely has a “gift of touch” and she will adjust her massage touch to accommodate what feels the best to you. Some folks like a deep tissue massage; maybe a Swedish massage; or maybe just a nice relaxing rub down! If you have a specific problem area, don’t worry because she’s great at not only finding it, but solving the problem!
We all believe Martie has a God-given talent of massage. How did she get here from there because she didn’t start out in that field? She was born and raised in Amarillo, went to college and originally got a degree in accounting. Her first job was bookkeeping, payables and collections which she admits was just a job to pay the bills. She was searching for the missing link in her life and being drawn in a completely different direction; one of which she had only dreamed.
At the age of 40, Martie felt compelled to change careers and went back to college. God opened a door, gave her a unique touch and led her on a new path to practice and share her different and distinct techniques with all of us. The accounting background provided the basis for her new company which has now been in existence for more than four years. Even though her company is fairly young, she’s obviously doing something right as she was voted the “Best Massage Therapist for 2021” by the Chamber of Commerce.
My first experience finding out about a “Martie massage” was by winning a drawing! That was one of the very best days in my recent life! In fact, such an amazing day that it’s now impossible to go without a massage at least once every month. Massage is good for the body, soul and mind, and especially outstanding for a great night’s sleep. She introduced me to a CBD oil massage and that night I slept 10 hours, uninterrupted!
My life has been blessed with a multitude of trips and consequently massages all over the world…Austria, Germany, England, Canada, Brazil, Panama, Mexico, Alaska, and I will tell you, Martie is right up there with the best.
If you have never had a massage, please don’t worry that you are too fat or too skinny. It’s not about your body weight, Martie doesn’t care! She’s used to every structure, whether woman or man, whatever size you are. In fact, once I heard that a person with more weight is easier to massage than a skinny stick! You don’t have to be embarrassed for any reason since you are completely covered except for the body part that is being massaged. You start out lying on your stomach as she begins working on your back, and end up lying on your back so she can massage your arms and legs…covered as you turn!! The room temperature is perfect, the table is slightly heated, soft music in the background, as you unwind and relax! You are worth it. And, I guarantee you won’t stop with only one session…Good health and taking care of yourself is habit forming! Go ahead, try Martie, and treat yourself!
