Meet the Founders: Gracie and Anna

With 17 years combined experience in business and marketing, Gracie Evans and Anna Grutzner are best friends and business partners, who met working at L'Oréal ANZ. While living in London, they connected over shared wellbeing experiences – and were inspired by an integrated dance, movement and sound class. Upon returning to Australia, they made it their mission to develop this concept in line with their unique movement and mindfulness backgrounds - sharing their first iteration of Soluna with the Australian market in 2024.

Gracie Evans (left)worked in corporate branding, marketing, events, social media & communications for 6 years, across 2 global companies. With her knowledge of business, she shifted into wellbeing to follow her lifelong passion for the mind, holistic wellness & helping others - teaching meditation, yin yoga, EFT tapping and somatic techniques.

Anna Grutzner (right) spent over a decade managing PR, communications and marketing for global luxury brands. These high-pressure environments taught her to balance external demands with internal wellbeing, where she leaned into holistic modalities to regulate her own nervous system. The tools that supported her most became the ones she qualified to teach in – including yoga, pranayama breathwork, Pilates, human design, EFT tapping and somatics.
