See beyond the difficulty… and ask for help!
Partnership in building a more autonomous life in childhood and youth.
Vanessa Meirelles
PSYCHOMOTRICIST AND PSYCHOPEDAGOGUE
It was in the last century...
In the last century, I completed the last year of my high school in the United States and returned to Brazil, full of dreams… My mother told me: “Go teach.” But, of course, I didn’t! So instead, I arrived in Rio de Janeiro, the city where I was born, and proceeded through the Hotel business, studying History and Tourism all at once.
​
I’ve kept going steadily in the profession and, in a few years, I was already part of the Public Relations team of some hotels in the Copacabana-Leblon-Ipanema axis. When Brazil won its fourth Cup, my mother proposed that I live again in Sampa, study German, and prepare my way to follow through with my master's degree in Neuchâtel.
With bag and baggage, there I went to revisit the land of the drizzle. But… the winds blew in another direction and, as soon as I arrived in town, I accepted the invitation to teach English to children – I was hooked! Right there, I was charmed by the space that is built between the teacher and students. My mother's advice seemed to make sense now!

Perhaps, the best way to understand the work I propose is to reflect on the infinite possibilities we create together when we are invited to look at each individuals difficulty and capacity to overcome themselves.

The popular Brazilian expression, which means saying something in a low voice, almost in secret, inspired me to start creating this space for conversation with whoever wants to venture into my work of yesterday, today, and tomorrow…
And that’s how my “By the ear” begins, a space to share what we find relevant on our daily routine.
​
My desire now? Simple…
​
I want many ideas to sprout into your mind, and, who knows, you may feel like sharing them with me.
Can I count you in?
