About Us
Our Story
Galilee Life was founded in early 2018 as a Christian online marketplace for small business owners in the retail, handmade and digital space. Galilee life has stepped out from our founder’s dreams into a reality in the form of a safe online community – rich in empowerment, cooperation, and flexibility to strive to become the best, together.
Passion fuels everything that we do at Galilee Life, just as much as great style. We’re inspired by the carefree calm that you feel while browsing for something beautiful; the eager anticipation after checkout; the joy of opening a package just for you; the confidence of putting on a new outfit that makes you feel incredible. Galilee Life is about making life more beautiful so that you can shine inside and out.
Our Team
Our team comprises of many individuals. Our vendors are part of our team and family and we love each and everyone of them. They bring Galilee Life, to life everyday with their amazing products and willingness to work through the obstacles in life. They are growing with us and we couldn’t ask for anything better.
Within Galilee Life’s internal organization, we have special individuals that work alongside the founder to help in all aspects of our journey. At Galilee Life, we are a family. We love people and welcome all into our space, but most importantly our hearts.
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. John 15:12
FOUNDER
Neivis Paulino is a Christ believer, a wife, mom of two beautiful girls, daughter, sister and friend. Neivis is a Health Care Administration graduate, and an entrepreneur. Founding Galilee Life came with great sacrifice, but she was driven by her love, obedience to God and deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of many. Despite some troubled times in her own life, she is certain that her relationship with God is where she has found her true strength, deep love for herself, family and others. Trials of all sorts have only intensified her longing for empowering others. Working closely with people in need, she saw the power of personal connection and how something as small as a piece of clothing or handmade item could inspire joy through difficult times.
With Galilee Life, she longs to grow an inspiring unified community of makers, resellers, digital artists and business service owners. Her vision involves serving others with tools that not only lead to a financially free life, but a life of emotional and spiritual wellness and as cliche as it may sound, helping them make their dreams come true. She has the full understanding that money is one of the key drivers in creating a financially free life, but when there’s a community and a family to help encourage you along the way, there is a greater certainty in the possibility of making that dream come to life. She also desires deeply to provide hope, help, and stability through Galilee Life’s Christ focused vision by demonstrating his love through inspirational articles, quotes, and the sharing of life experiences.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
