Jane Catherine Severn is a practicing therapist, writer and menstruality educator in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Having realised in her mid-twenties that there is much more to know than we have ever been told about why female hormones behave in the ways they do, Jane Catherine embarked on her lifelong mission of offering women a new view of themselves, and the intricate, elegant and supremely purposeful design of their monthly and midlife changes. 40 years of studying women’s lives from the intimate perspective of her Psychotherapy/Pascha Therapy practice, combined with her deep respect for the ways of Nature and absolute faith in the integrity of the female design, gave birth to the unique and inspiring body of knowledge she calls “conscious menstruality” and her original model, “the femenome”.  In 2005 she created Luna House (www.lunahouse.co.nz) as an educational and therapeutic specialty service. She also offers professional development training in her new therapy modality, Femenome® Therapy. The psycho-spiritual perspective of Jane Catherine’s courses, workshops and seminars offers a genuine and empowering alternative to our accustomed medicalised approach. Her first book, “The World Within Women: the femenome guide to your menstrual cycle” is available at www.lunahouse.co.nz/shop and her second, “The Alchemy of Menopause”, is on its way.
