Amanda Daniels

FOUNDER AND CEO

Amanda Daniels, CEO of Heartquake Media, LLC, is an entrepreneur and advocate for women’s heart health. A native of Los Angeles, Amanda, co-founded the first peer-led support group for women living with heart disease in 2012 at UCLA Health. She coined the term "heartquake" to address the emotional impact of a life threatening diagnosis on survivors. Over more than a decade, Amanda has empowered individuals, through her own private client practice, small groups and large audiences on how to heal their hearts physically, emotionally, spiritually and everything in between after a "heartquake.” As a patient advocate, she also educates audiences about heart disease prevention.

Amanda holds a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s in broadcast journalism from USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Following the birth of her second daughter in 2010, Amanda dedicated herself to volunteering for the American Heart Association, becoming a featured speaker and walking alongside fellow heart disease survivors in the 2017 Rose Parade.

Amanda's commitment to women's heart health led her to train as a WomenHeart Champion and women’s heart health expert at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, graduating in the class of 2011. In January 2012, she co-founded the first peer-led support group for women living with heart disease through UCLA, simultaneously creating the empowering lifestyle brand, Flight of the Heart, and working with clients.

Notably, Amanda introduced the term “heartquake” to soften the trauma, shame, and blame often experienced by heart disease survivors. Whether working with individual clients or addressing large audiences, Amanda's mission is to empower others to access inner heart knowingness and intuition after experiencing a “heartquake.”
