For us, it’s about building a connection. Our support workers see the same clients on a regular basis and participate in the same School Holiday Programs, STA’s and care as you do, so you can expand yourself within the comfort of familiar faces.

Directors Stu and Freida Suniula
We started Heart to Heartbeat to make a difference in people’s lives. We are continuously striving to build a better community for all, one family at a time.
With a deep Christian faith, we met at a young age, built a family, grew together on this journey of life, to finally find our calling in Heart to Heartbeat. We are both trained psychosocial recovery coaches with a raft of life experience caring for our own diverse family.
At home you will find us spending time with our adult children, both two and four legged. We feel most blessed that our children have joined us in this family business and look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your journey of life.

Hey, I’m Tyrone.
I believe every individual is unique and has different way of viewing the world, hopefully I can become part of it and help support you to greater things.
Spending time with my family and friends is what keeps me going. I think it’s important to surround yourself with positive, supportive people that have your best interests at heart.
I enjoy taking life slow-paced and enjoying it as much as possible along the way, you’ll often find me up a hill watching the view, enjoying a rugby match or simply hanging out with those that are close to me.

Eryn Bruhn
Hey there! I’m Eryn!
My passion is helping people to find laughter and joy in the simpler things in life.
I first entered the world of disability support work in early 2022, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I previously worked in childcare for 8 years and worked very closely with the children who needed that extra hand before I made the decision that I wanted to do this full time.
Knowing that I can be of assistance to you and encourage you towards your goals and endeavours, truly makes me happy. I hope together we can enjoy this journey called life, take the time to have a laugh, slow down to smell the roses and enjoy the sunset. Lets take life one day at a time.

Art, music, and photography are my passions I love exploring new techniques and expressing myself through different mediums. When I’m not lost in my creative world, you’ll probably find me hitting the gym, at the beach, or just soaking up the sunshine outdoors. But what really drives me is seeing others thrive and grow.
I’m all about creating safe spaces where people can be themselves and reach their full potential. Helping others find their spark brings me pure joy.

Brooke Lewis
Hi my name is Brooke,
Since commencing in the disability sector in December 2025, I have gained valuable hands-on experience supporting a diverse range of clients and adapting to different working environments. I’ve also had similar experiences in previous roles where care, patience, and understanding were at the heart of what I did.
2023 – 2025 saw me travel all over Europe and I’ve had the privilege to meet different people from all over the world, which has given me a deeper appreciation for different cultures, perspectives, and ways of life.
I’m a caring, kind, and passionate person who truly enjoys helping others and making a positive difference. Outside of work, I love anything creative or outdoorsy, and I’m always up for trying something new. I’m also very family oriented and bring that same sense of warmth and support into everything I do.

Chloe Gulliver
Kia Ora, i’m Chloé 🙂
I have always been a big empath with an even bigger love & passion of helping others. God, nature, animals, family, & helping others are all areas in which my heart resides.
Some of my passions outside of supporting others include cooking, plants/gardening, music, art, fitness, & natural healing/medicine. I love to incorporate these within my work to help others achieve their goals & live each day to their fullest capacity with independance. Kindness, resilience, & gratitude are a few key qualities I embody within my work in hopes of making a positive difference to people’s lives.
In my downtime you’ll most likely find me somewhere outdoors with my four legged better half, at home creating art, cooking up a storm, or cozied up near my garden indulging in a book/podcast. Life is short, let’s live it to the fullest!
