About Us

Genuinely Stellar is the culmination of countless unfinished tennis matches between two childhood friends. 

For years, rather than declaring a winner, our tennis games would end at the net, musing about a venture we could launch together. The result, is a weekly newsletter that will deliver five quick features about women who are doing something we believe will enrich the lives of other women. 

Between the two of us, we have deep experience in lifestyle endeavours. Tonia as an Executive Chef in restaurants and European embassies, and as a sommelier and writer penning articles and a book on the topics of wine, beer and food. While Aynsley has worked as a luxury brand communicator and entrepreneur, launching and advising e-commerce businesses in fashion and travel. Prior to that, she spent 10 years working with world-renowned luxury hotel brand, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts. 

Together their goal is to inspire and inform, while building a community of like-minded 

women and supporting women-owned businesses.
