Amanda Svachula

I’m a writer, editor and licensed social worker (LMSW) based in Brooklyn, NY. I primarily write about health and wellness.

I graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 2018, and I received my master’s degree in social work from Fordham University in 2025.

My work has been published in publications including the New York Times, New York Magazine, Slate, Business Insider and Women’s Health Magazine. I’ve also worked on content for health and wellness brands including Noom, obé Fitness, PlushCare and Zocdoc.
