Nature of Services
Studio Norae offers trauma-informed somatic and expressive arts programs integrating yoga, breathwork, and hand-sculpting in clay. All services are experiential and educational in nature. They are not medical treatment, psychotherapy, psychological counseling, or clinical mental health care.
Lauren Shin is not a licensed physician, psychotherapist, psychologist, or mental health clinician. Participation in any Studio Norae service does not establish a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or clinical relationship of any kind.
Not Medical or Psychological Advice
Nothing provided by Studio Norae — including instruction, facilitation, written materials, workbooks, or any verbal or written communication — constitutes medical advice, psychological treatment, diagnosis, or clinical intervention. Studio Norae content and services should not be used as a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.
Emotional Content
Studio Norae programs are designed to invite participants into closer contact with their inner experience. Difficult emotions, unexpected feelings, or psychological material may arise during or after participation. This is part of the process. If you are currently in a period of acute mental health crisis or instability, please consult a mental health professional before registering.
If you do not currently have a therapist and would like a referral to one of our clinical partners, contact lauren@studionorae.com.
Physical Participation
Yoga, movement, and clay work involve inherent physical risk. You are responsible for working within your own physical capacity at all times. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating if you have any medical conditions, injuries, or physical concerns.
Personal Responsibility
You are responsible for your own physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing during and after participation in Studio Norae services. No specific outcomes, results, or changes are promised or guaranteed. Individual experiences vary.
Emergency Situations
If you experience a medical or psychiatric emergency during or after participation, please seek immediate professional assistance. In the United States call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. For mental health crisis support contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
Clinical Collaboration
Some Studio Norae programs are co-facilitated with a licensed clinical therapist. The presence of a clinical collaborator does not extend clinical or therapeutic services to program participants individually. All participants are encouraged to maintain their own independent therapeutic support.
