Health and Spiritual Direction Disclaimer
This disclaimer applies to all services offered by Slow Waters, llc including but not limited to spiritual direction, yoga instruction, Room by Room, coaching conversations, retreats, and any written, audio, or video content shared on this Site or through our email communications.

Not Medical or Mental Health Treatment
Susan Moorefield is an ordained Presbyterian minister, certified yoga teacher, and professional photographer. She is not a licensed physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or licensed mental health counselor, and nothing offered through Slow Waters — including spiritual direction, yoga instruction, or written content — constitutes medical advice, psychological treatment, diagnosis, or therapy.
Spiritual direction is a contemplative practice rooted in listening, presence, and reflection. It is not a substitute for medical care, mental health treatment, or crisis intervention.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please contact 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988).
---
Yoga & Physical Practice
Yoga and movement-based offerings involve physical activity and carry inherent risk of injury. You should consult a physician before beginning any new physical practice, especially if you have a pre-existing injury, condition, or health concern. You are responsible for listening to your own body and modifying or discontinuing any practice that causes pain or discomfort.
---
Personal Responsibility
By participating in any Slow Waters, llc offering, you acknowledge that:
- You are voluntarily participating and are responsible for your own physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing
- You will consult appropriate licensed professionals (medical, psychological, financial, legal, etc.) for matters outside the scope of spiritual direction, coaching, or yoga instruction
- Individual results and experiences vary, and no specific outcome is guaranteed
---
Confidentiality
Conversations within spiritual direction sessions are held with care and discretion. However, spiritual direction is not a legally privileged or confidential relationship in the way that licensed therapy or clergy-penitent privilege may be in certain contexts. If you have concerns about confidentiality, please raise them directly.
