As an award-winning Syrian doctor, trauma-informed coach, humanitarian, and social entrepreneur, Rola empowers frontline workers, healthcare professionals, and leaders to heal their trauma, overcome burnout, and become the healing presence our world needs. She has witnessed the devastating impact of war firsthand, helping build seven hospitals in Syria and supporting over four million people in conflict-ravaged communities. As a global transformational speaker, she has shared stages with presidents, celebrities, and grassroots activists, and my online talks have been viewed more than 11 million times, inspiring thousands to become changemakers. Honoured as the first Syrian TED Fellow, her TEDx talk, “From Clever to Wise: How Healing Our Traumas Heals the World,” distils her core message: true healing begins within—and by addressing trauma in a transformative, healing-centred way, we uplift individuals and empower entire communities.

Her healing approach is rooted in somatic and nervous-system regulation, guiding caregivers out of survival mode and beyond cycles of trauma and conflict. Compassion-led and collective by design, it invites us to heal together, so we can serve with authenticity and co-create lasting peace.
