Regena Thomashauer (a. k. a. "Mama Gena") is a revolution: an icon, teacher, author, mother, and founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement. She believes that women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet, and she teaches them to turn on their innate feminine power to create a life they love. Thomashauer's approach stems from decades of research in the social, cultural and economic history of women, including the ancient Goddess religion, which dominated 30 to 50 centuries of recorded history. She opens doors for women with her distinctive style, which is at once irreverent, unwavering, inspirational, and moving. In addition to leading the School, Thomashauer has authored three popular books Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts, Mama Gena's Owner's and Operator's Guide To Men, and Mama Gena's Marriage Manual and has been featured widely as a leading expert in modern feminism. As a speaker, she has appeared at TEDxFiDiWomen, the Wharton School of Business, the Young Presidents' Organization, Hillcrest Hospital, and Cleveland Clinic, among others. In the media, she has been a frequent guest on NBC-TV's Today show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, as well as 20/20, The Ricki Lake Show, The Rachael Ray Show, Lifetime Live, The Other Half, and more. Her programs have been profiled in esteemed publications including The New York Times, Elle, and New York magazine. Thomashauer's unique perspective has also been quoted in Glamour, Newsweek, Marie Claire, Allure, Self, InStyle, and The Washington Post. She lives and works in New York City.
