Last updated 11 November 2026

Please read this notice carefully before accessing or participating in The Less Stress Co. Nervous System Regulation (NSR™) Toolbox.

The Less Stress Co. Nervous System Regulation (NSR™) Toolbox (“Toolbox”) provides guided wellbeing practices designed to support stress management, relaxation, focus and general wellbeing. These practices may include, but are not limited to, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, relaxation exercises and other nervous-system-based techniques.

By accessing or participating in the Toolbox, you acknowledge and agree to the following.

01Purpose of the Toolbox

The Toolbox is provided for general education, wellbeing and self-management purposes.

The content is not medical, psychological, psychiatric or therapeutic treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or mental health condition.

The Toolbox is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological or other healthcare advice, diagnosis or treatment.

If you have concerns about your physical or mental health, or are unsure whether a particular practice is appropriate for you, you should seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before participating.

02Voluntary participation

Participation in any Toolbox practice is entirely voluntary.

You are responsible for deciding whether a particular practice is appropriate for you at the time you undertake it.

You should not participate in any practice that you do not feel comfortable performing.

You may stop, pause or modify a practice at any time and for any reason.

03Breathwork and meditation

Some Toolbox practices involve intentional changes to breathing patterns, breath awareness, breath retention, deeper or slower breathing, or other breathwork techniques.

Depending on the individual and the practice, these techniques may result in temporary sensations or responses including:

  • light-headedness or dizziness;
  • tingling or changes in bodily sensation;
  • changes in breathing or heart rate;
  • feelings of warmth or coolness;
  • increased awareness of bodily sensations;
  • emotional responses; or
  • temporary feelings of discomfort or unease.

Individual responses vary.

Never force your breathing or continue a practice if you feel unwell, uncomfortable, distressed, dizzy or otherwise unsafe.

If you experience significant or persistent symptoms, stop the practice and seek appropriate medical assistance.

04Health considerations

Before participating, you should consider whether you have any physical or mental health condition, medical circumstance or other factor that could make breathwork, meditation or another Toolbox practice unsuitable for you.

If you have concerns about your physical or mental health, or are unsure whether a particular practice is appropriate for you, consult your doctor or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional before participating.

You should exercise particular caution and seek professional advice where relevant if you have a condition or circumstance that may be affected by changes in breathing, breath retention, altered physical sensations, relaxation practices or psychological or emotional stimulation.

You are responsible for informing yourself about any limitations or precautions that may apply to you.

05Safe environment

You agree to participate in Toolbox practices in a safe and appropriate environment.

You should not undertake practices while:

  • driving or operating machinery;
  • performing a safety-critical task;
  • in a situation where becoming distracted, drowsy, dizzy or less alert could place you or another person at risk; or
  • undertaking another activity that requires your full attention.

Where a practice involves lying down, sitting, standing, movement or changes in breathing, choose a position and environment that allows you to participate safely.

06Workplace participation

If you access the Toolbox through your workplace, participation does not replace your employer’s workplace health and safety policies, procedures or requirements.

You remain responsible for following your employer’s reasonable health and safety instructions and for participating only where it is safe and appropriate to do so.

If you undertake a Toolbox practice during work hours, you should ensure that your participation is consistent with your workplace’s requirements and does not interfere with any safety-critical or other work responsibilities.

07Personal responsibility

You acknowledge that individual responses to breathwork, meditation and wellbeing practices may vary.

You agree to use reasonable judgement, pay attention to your own physical and mental state, and stop or modify a practice if it does not feel appropriate for you.

You understand that The Less Stress Co. cannot assess your individual health circumstances through the Toolbox and cannot determine whether a particular practice is suitable for you.

08Understanding of risks

You acknowledge that participation in wellbeing practices may involve inherent and reasonably foreseeable risks, including temporary physical sensations, discomfort, dizziness, emotional responses or other reactions.

You voluntarily choose to participate in the Toolbox with an understanding of these potential risks.

09Responsibility and limitation of liability

  • your decision to continue a practice despite experiencing discomfort, dizziness, distress or other adverse symptoms;
  • your use of the Toolbox in an unsafe environment or while undertaking another activity;
  • your misuse of the Toolbox; or
  • risks that are inherent in or reasonably foreseeable from the particular practice.

Nothing in this agreement is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any right, guarantee, warranty, protection, duty, liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified under the laws applicable to you.

Where applicable law does not permit a particular limitation or exclusion of liability, that limitation or exclusion will apply only to the maximum extent permitted by that law.

10No guarantee of results

The Less Stress Co. does not guarantee any particular physical, psychological, emotional, performance or wellbeing outcome from participation in the Toolbox.

Individual experiences and results will vary.

The Toolbox is not designed to provide emergency medical, psychological or crisis support.

If you experience a medical emergency, psychological crisis, or believe that you or another person is in immediate danger, stop the practice and seek appropriate emergency or professional assistance.
