At P'nimiyut, meditation and learning are how I come home to what is true.
Philosophy

P'nimiyut is small on purpose. Each piece is studied before it is written, and written before it is shared.

The scale is modest, the pace unhurried, and the language is doing real work rather than performing.

The work itself is called The P'nimiyut Method™. It draws on Torah and Kabbalistic study, on what psychology has named about the inner life, and on what the body remembers when the mind goes quiet. None of these stand alone here. They are read together.

Sessions with Sarah Leah

A season to think out loud.

Private one-to-one sessions with me. A 4-session minimum, by application, where you sit with what is actually on your mind.

P’nimiyut Coaching works underneath the surface of your story, in the place where wound and purpose meet. The ground is Torah; the method blends psychology and somatic work, in plain language. We sit with what is real, and the real thing changes from there.

The work underneath the work.

A note

About me

My name is Sarah Leah Melissa Sarramalho. I was born in Montreal, lived in Latin America and then in Europe — Lisbon, then Paris — and eventually came home. I studied psychology, and for years alongside it I studied Kabbalah, Torah, and Mussar, the inner side of Jewish wisdom. I was looking for what the mind alone couldn’t reach.

I’m not an expert. I’m a student who shares what she learns, mostly from Torah and Mussar. I also bring in what I know of psychology and somatic work, because the body and the mind each know things in their own way. Inner work grows in mind, soul, and body together. Each one opens the next.

P’nimiyut came out of that search. Meditations, a written course, and one-on-one work for women who are tired of their inner life and their everyday life being two different things. The body of work behind it is called The P’nimiyut Method™. I teach it, I write it, and I sit with women in it.

I write mostly in English. I also speak French and Portuguese. If something here speaks to you, write to me.
