Welcome! I’m Amanda, a passionate massage therapist dedicated to enhancing well-being through expert bodywork. My journey into massage therapy is deeply personal, shaped by my own experiences with weight loss and female health. These experiences have fueled my commitment to helping others achieve their physical and emotional goals. Having navigated my own path to better health and wellness, I understand the challenges and triumphs involved in transforming one’s body and mind. This personal journey has enriched my practice, allowing me to offer a unique perspective on bodywork, particularly for women seeking to understand and optimize their physical health.

In my practice, I focus on three key areas:
Sports Massage:
I work with athletes to boost performance, prevent injuries, and support recovery. My tailored techniques address the specific needs of those engaged in rigorous physical activities, helping them maintain peak condition.​Bodywork for Women:
My own experiences with female health have deepened my understanding of the complexities and needs unique to women. I offer bodywork that helps women connect with their bodies, manage discomfort, and enhance their overall sense of well-being.​Personal Health Journey:
My background in weight loss and personal health informs my approach, allowing me to empathize with and support clients on their own wellness journeys. I provide guidance and care that reflects my own path to achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Whether you’re an athlete aiming for optimal performance, a woman seeking to better understand your body, or someone looking for support in your personal health journey, I am here to offer compassionate and customized care. Let’s work together to achieve your wellness goals and cultivate a healthier, more connected you.

Cindy McGuire has been dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals for over 20 years. A former competitive swimmer, Cindy’s passion for sports therapy began at age 12, inspired by her own experience with sports massage improving performance before a major swim meet. That moment sparked a lifelong dream of working with professional and Olympic athletes.

Cindy’s career started with a degree from the Ohio College of Massotherapy, where she studied under Doug Nelson, a leader in neuromuscular therapy. She expanded her education at the Sports Massage Therapy Institute in California, learning from the trailblazing Dr. Myk Hungerford, who introduced sports massage to the Olympics. Cindy carries forward Dr. Hungerford’s legacy of excellence, precision, and care.

Since founding Hands On Sports Therapy, Cindy has combined her expertise with personal experience as an athlete, competing in triathlons from sprint to Ironman distances. Her journey has shaped her understanding of injury prevention, recovery, and performance, allowing her to create customized treatment programs for athletes at all levels.

In addition to her private practice, Cindy has worked with the Hy-Vee Triathlon and the AAA Iowa Cubs, supporting amateur and professional athletes alike. One of her cherished moments was helping a baseball player improve his pitching velocity in his final season, a testament to the transformative power of sports massage.

Cindy remains deeply committed to her mission: helping athletes achieve their potential through intentional, focused care. Whether on the triathlon course, in the clinic, or at the ballpark, her passion for learning and understanding the human body continues to drive her work.
