At Jenny April Movements (JAM), we love working with complex symptoms and recognize that there are often multiple sites of pain and dysfunction that can coexist. These kinds of symptoms which travel throughout the body are often caused by imbalances of the fascial and nervous system. At JAM, we look at entire individuals and all the patterns, tissue layers and training that informs their movement intentions.

We will work with you to identify your complex & unique set of symptoms, and create a customized treatment plan. Through this process, JAM practitioners will teach you practices to hone your physical abilities, enhance your kinesthetic awareness and reclaim your joy of movement!

Mazarine Harris
(She/Her/Hers)

Movement has always had a central focus in Maz’s life. She trained as professional dancer during her teenage years, studied Kinesiology in school and continues her education through various movement modalities. She discovered GYROTONIC® exercise while navigating the challenges of multiple growth spurts as an elite athlete. After a career-ending foot injury, Maz retired from dance and went back to school. She supplemented her GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® certifications with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology & Health Sciences at William & Mary. She draws from her studies and her lived experience with chronic pain and hypermobility, serving as a catalyst for helping others. Maz guides clients to explore new mind-body connections with the goal of helping them break free from the cycle of pain. Her approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, with a sprinkle humor. Maz offers sessions in English and French. When she isn’t teaching, you can find her rock-climbing, reading, in a yoga studio or walking around Capitol Hill with her husband and rescue beagle, Olive. She is currently studying the pelvic floor, and pursuing a DONA International Birth Doula certification.
