Career
Regena Thomashauer began her early adulthood pursuing a career in acting. After struggling with her acting career, she turned to a career of feminist pursuits. Thomashaeur and her husband have taught Relationship Technologies out of their home on the Upper West Side of New York since 1993. In 1998, she opened The School of Womanly Arts, starting with twelve students and now over thousands of graduates. Her sex-positive and women empowering career contributes to the feminist movement. Women come to Thomashauer to meet for nine weeks, once a week, three hours at a time, for a seminar program at a cost of $500. Women come to feel liberated as women and hone their potential as powerful women. She focuses largely on pleasure and how it can be used as a source of women’s power. Additionally, she places emphasis on community building and forming relationships with fellow women or “sister goddesses,” as Thomashaeur refers to the women around her. She promotes a mission for women to break free from a culture that devalues women in praise of male counterparts reinforced in patriarchy. Chasing one’s desires and understanding and feeling one’s feelings is a main premise of success in her philosophy.

Personal Life
Regena Thomashauer has one daughter named Maggie. She resides in New York City, New York, US and, for the summer months, moves to her home in Southhold, Long Island, US.
