Juliane was a daughter of Landgrave Wilhelm von Hessen-Philippsthal (1726-1810) and his wife Landgravine Ulrike Eleonore von Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (1732-1795). Raised partly in Herzogenbusch, where her father served as a Dutch general, she received a German education.

On October 10, 1780, she married Count Philipp II Ernst von Schaumburg-Lippe in Philippsthal. Philipp Ernst, 57 years old and a widower at the time of the marriage, died after seven years of marriage. Together with Count Johann Ludwig von Wallmoden-Gimborn, Juliane took over the regency for her underage son Georg Wilhelm. Immediately afterwards, Landgrave Wilhelm von Hessen-Kassel had Schaumburg-Lippe militarily occupied as an escheated fiefdom. Juliane managed to get Wilhelm's troops quickly withdrawn by involving the Imperial Court Council and with support from Hanover and Prussia.

Juliane's government is considered extraordinarily beneficial. She carried out far-reaching reforms in the economy and the school system, restricted the household, continued her father-in-law's tolerant Jewish policy and was able to push through tax cuts. Furthermore, she accelerated the court processes through a new procedure code and shortened the military service period of the subjects to six years. She appointed Bernhard Christoph Faust as personal physician and supported him significantly in the introduction of smallpox vaccination.

Juliane had Hagenburg Castle redesigned and is considered the founder of the Eilsen spa. She was able to claim her title of prince because she was born in a landgrave's house, only her son Georg Wilhelm acquired the title of prince for the house of Schaumburg-Lippe.

She died after a bad cold and was buried in a mausoleum in the Schaumburg Forest. Count Wallmoden-Gimborn continued the guardianship of her son.
