Redefining Wellbeing Through Philosophy & Holistic Healing – Dr. Joelle Samaha

Dr Joelle Samaha

The Vision Behind PhiloLife

Dr. Joelle Samaha, Founder of PhiloLife Wellbeing, PhiloLife Coach, Assistant Professor, Author, and Podcaster, has dedicated her life to transforming the way people approach health and healing. With a background in philosophy and holistic wellbeing, she helps individuals gain clarity, emotional resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Her journey into wellbeing was shaped by personal loss—the passing of her father to cancer. His final words stayed with her:

“Life is beautiful. I wish I knew it earlier.”

These words sparked a lifelong quest to understand what it truly means to live well. Through years of research, she discovered that healing isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about emotional balance, self-awareness, and inner peace. This insight became the foundation of PhiloLife Wellbeing Education Center, where she merges philosophy, mindfulness, and holistic coaching to help individuals live more fulfilling lives.

A Transformational Approach to Life Coaching

Joelle’s PhiloLife Coaching is more than just setting goals—it’s about creating a personal philosophy for life. Her approach helps individuals rethink their beliefs, heal emotional wounds, and break free from toxic patterns.

By integrating philosophical inquiry, emotional reflection, and holistic healing, Joelle helps clients move beyond surface-level fixes. Her methods include philosophical counselling, NLP, hypnotherapy, and somatic healing, allowing individuals to cultivate clarity, purpose, and true transformation.

Her work is especially impactful for those recovering from toxic relationships, emotional burnout, or self-doubt. Rather than focusing solely on external success, her coaching encourages deep inner work, helping people reclaim their emotional independence.

PhiloKids & PhiloTeens Coaching: Empowering Young Minds

A key part of Joelle’s work is PhiloKids & PhiloTeens Life Coaching, a groundbreaking program that helps children and teenagers develop emotional resilience, confidence, and self-awareness.

Unlike traditional coaching, this approach blends philosophy, emotional intelligence, and holistic techniques to give young people a safe space for self-exploration and emotional processing. Using tools like philosophical dialogue (P4C), mindfulness, sound therapy, and art therapy, Joelle helps children navigate their emotions and overcome limiting beliefs.

The structured six-week program concludes with a Vision Board session, where participants set aspirations for their future. They also receive a KHDA-approved certificate, adding value to their personal and academic growth.
