Regena Thomashauer (Mama Gena) is a revolution: an icon, teacher, author, mother, and one of a handful of pioneers on the planet researching the nature of pleasure and dedicating her life to the discipline of pleasure and fun. Self-taught in the social, cultural and economic history of women including the ancient Goddess religion, (which dominated for 30-50 centuries of recorded history) she uses her more than fifteen years of research and her knowledge of female pleasure to open doors for women today by giving them a context to maximize their power, passion, enthusiasm and creativity.

She has been profiled in The New York Times, Elle and New York magazine, and has been quoted in several national publications including Glamour, Newsweek, Marie Claire, Allure, Self, InStyle and The Washington Post.
