🌟 Amanda Davis is FOR Cenla 🌟
When you meet Amanda Davis, it doesn’t take long to see that her heart is deeply rooted in this community.
Amanda is a proud native of Cenla who grew up in Fishville, Louisiana. She has been married to her high school best friend, Terry, for one year. Together, they share a beautiful blended family of five children—three of Amanda’s and two of Terry’s—and are now enjoying the blessing of six grandchildren.
Amanda became a massage therapist in 2010 and spent several years working in local spas, physical therapy clinics, and chiropractic offices, gaining experience while building relationships across the community. In 2016, while working as an EMT and offering house-call massage therapy, Amanda decided it was finally time to step off the ambulance and start her own business. That’s when Massage Therapy Kneads + Skincare was born.
For the first four years, she ran the business on her own. Then two of her daughters joined the journey—Annabelle as a cosmetologist and Abbygayle as an esthetician—helping expand the vision and services offered. Today, Amanda and Abbygayle continue serving the community together, creating a space that feels cozy, welcoming, and peaceful rather than clinical.
For Amanda, being For Cenla means being here for everyone. No matter who you are or what your background is, her goal is for every person who walks through the door to feel at home and find a place of complete relaxation.
She’s also quick to give credit to the community that has supported her along the way. Amanda loves how small business owners in Cenla encourage and uplift one another, and much of her business has grown through word of mouth from people who believe in what she’s built.
Her mission is simple: to give people a place to step away from the stress of daily life and experience rest—even if it’s just for a couple of hours.
That heart to serve is exactly why Amanda Davis is our next For Cenla Hero! ❤️
