Kathleen Anish
Founder
Kathleen Anish is AuraStella’s Owner/Founder. I was raised in a traditional Greek home and somehow managed to go away to college and graduate with a BA/BS Dual Degree in Psychology and Special/Elementary Education from the College of New Rochelle. I completed my Masters in Biological Sciences from SUNY Stony Brook. I taught both Elementary and Special Education for several years. At the age of 27, I married my High School Sweetheart, Paul and moved to Disney’s hometown, Orlando, FL. I worked with my Entrepreneurial husband establishing Art Publishing and Framing companies. I soon got the bug and branched off starting my own art publishing company. After a successful 10 year reign, at the age 42 years old, we decided to have another baby. I saw pink ruffles, dresses and dolls in my future. We both sold our companies and had our fourth boy! Now, with my continued drive and ambition for art and design, the love of teaching and my entrepreneurial spirit, I am excited to continue my quest in life, with AuraStella. My goal is to brand AuraStella as the most beautiful wearable art in the world!

Kathleen Peterson
President of Sales / Co-Founder
Kathleen Peterson is AuraStella’s President of Sales/Co-Founder. Entering Direct Sales before she even entered college, she now has over twenty years of experience. From field sales as an independent consultant to corporate management, she has worked with companies such as Avon, Creative Memories, and Tastefully Simple. She brings experience and a high level of expertise to strategic planning, recruiting, training, and coaching.
Kathleen is a true believer in direct sales. She has personally seen women soar to the top making six figure incomes, and changing their lives for the better. She knows that the people that advance are those that help others succeed.
Moving to Florida two years ago from Minnesota offered Kathleen a chance to work with several start-up party plan companies. In her experience with new and established companies she states that she has never seen a Consultant compensation plan as enriching as AuraStella’s.
“I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting new adventure. I look forward to partnering with all of the new AuraStella Consultants on this sound clear path to success. It takes three main ingredients to succeed in the party plan industry. They are:
Great PRODUCT
Wonderful PEOPLE
Outstanding Compensation PLAN
We have all three!"
Aurastella advised Npros on January 21, 2009 that Kathleen Peterson, President and Co-Founder, is no longer with the company.
