Join the Discussion…

AT OUR 30 MINUTE LUNCH TIME WEBINAR

Join us Wednesday 18 February at 12:30 PM for our latest Tonic And Me webinar.

Explore how emotional connection impacts heart health, stress, and longevity — at home and at work.

In this 30-minute wellbeing webinar, Becca Clayton, Founder of Tonic Wellbeing and Leanne Sumnall, our counsellor, explore the powerful link between emotional connection, heart health, and the nervous system. Drawing on evidence-based wellbeing and counselling-informed insight, the session offers a compassionate, human exploration of how relationships shape our stress levels, sense of safety, and long-term health – at home and at work.

This is not about fixing relationships or forcing vulnerability, it’s about understanding how connection works in the body, and how we can support it in realistic, human ways.

You will be encouraged to:

  • Use the chat throughout
  • Reflect privately and share only what feels comfortable
  • Leave with one clear, self-chosen habit they can realistically sustain
  • No pressure. No forced sharing. Just thoughtful engagement.

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Understand how the heart and brain communicate, and why emotional connection plays a vital role in health and stress regulation
  • Recognise how connection, trust, and emotional safety influence the nervous system and heart health
  • Identify the physical and emotional signs of connection and disconnection in themselves
  • Explore how relationships at home and work can either buffer stress or amplify it
  • Learn simple, evidence-informed ways to strengthen connection without pressure or overwhelm

Who This Session Is For:

  • Anyone experiencing stress, emotional load, or disconnection
  • Employees and leaders navigating relationships at work
  • People curious about the link between wellbeing, relationships, and health
  • Those looking for a gentler, more human approach to wellbeing

Don’t miss this chance to gain valuable insights and support. We look forward to seeing you there and thank you in advance for your participation!
