Jazmine Desarrae

Womb Hara Practitioner • Dance Movement Wellness Facilitator • Educator  

Photographer & Artistic Director

Jazmine Desarrae is an interdisciplinary artist and practitioner whose work lives at the intersection of embodied wellness, movement, creativity, womanhood, and spirituality.

Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jazmine was introduced to West African dance in her community and continued her artistic development and dance training at Milwaukee High School of the Arts. She later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of North Texas, and holds a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University. She danced professionally for a period before building a career in dance education.

For Jazmine, dance has never existed solely as performance. Through more than two decades of movement practice—and her own ongoing relationship with injury rehabilitation, physical fitness, and recalibrating pelvic floor strength after birth—she has come to understand the body as a vessel and a source of information, vitality, strength, creative devotion, and connection. Dance became her first gateway into a broader exploration of healing and wellness and continues to inform the way she approaches women's movement today.

Her interest in visual storytelling began even earlier. Jazmine first picked up photography around the age of twelve, but the practice took on new meaning years later when she was unexpectedly invited to teach photojournalism at the high-school level. The experience prompted her to return more intentionally to the camera and deepen her interest in the relationship between photography, literacy, and storytelling—how words and images can work together to document experience, preserve stories, and communicate meaning. Her work has since expanded into portraiture, writing, visual storytelling, and creative direction, particularly in service of women seeking to make themselves, their work, their voices, their stories, and their entreupreneurial endeavors more visible.

Her exploration of the relationship between body and inner life also led her to study at the Ananda School of Meditation and later at the Institute of Feminine Arts, where her studies included Womb Healing, and Womb Hara Massage. This work led to voyage overseas to deepen knowledge and practice which helped her articulate the body-centered philosophy that had already been developing throughout her life as a dancer, educator, and woman.

Today, these seemingly different paths converge through The Blossom Society, Jazmine's women-centered holistic arts and wellness practice. At the center of Jazmine's work is a belief that the body exists in rhythmic relationship with life itself, continually moving through cycles of birth and death, beginnings and endings, tension and release, flow and obstruction, strength and softness, decay and renewal. 

Her work invites women to slow down enough to experience the unfolding and mysteries of the feminine, embracing every dimension of themselves as they move toward a fully embodied life—held within the magnitude of God's eternal love, divine grace, and embrace.
