Her Journey

Luísa Marteleto is a writer, speaker and faith communicator. Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, she has lived in the United States since 2008 and has devoted her life's work to sharing a thoughtful, conscious spirituality deeply connected to the teachings of Jesus.

With a degree in Theology and a postgraduate degree in Archaeology, History and Interpretation of the Bible from UNASP, Luísa brings together research, spirituality and communication in language that is accessible, sensitive and welcoming.

Her aim is not only to share information, but to build bridges between knowledge, lived spirituality and concrete action.
