ABOUT ME
A JOURNEY OF MOVEMENT, HEALING & CONNECTION
I'm Delice Headlam — a yoga teacher, psychotherapist, and movement specialist based in South London. My journey into movement and healing has been as dynamic and transformative as the practices I now share with others. I’d love to share it with you.
FROM ACCIDENT TO AWAKENING
In my early twenties, an accident left me grappling with a loss of mobility and a challenging rehabilitation process. This period was a turning point, leading me to discover the profound healing potential of mindful movement. Initially seeking strength through Pilates, I stumbled upon yoga by chance and experienced a class that felt like a hug from the inside out. That first savasana brought unexpected tears and a deep sense of release, awakening a passion that would guide my next steps forward.
Blending Disciplines for Holistic Healing
With a background in dance and a curiosity about the human experience, I studied Dance Movement Psychotherapy which invited a deeper dive into movement analysis and psychodynamic therapy which in tail also complimented my personal (movement) practice. , to complement my yoga practice.
​
This unique blend allows me to approach healing from multiple angles — honouring the physical, emotional, and psychological facets of well-being.
​
Through Decoding Movement Therapy, I aim to guide others in reconnecting with their bodies, navigating life's challenges, and embracing personal growth.
​
My Approach
I believe in a client-led, compassionate approach that meets you where you are. Whether we're flowing through a dynamic vinyasa, exploring therapeutic movements, lifting weights, or engaging in deep conversations, my focus is on creating a safe space for you to be honest with yourself.
​
It's about trusting your capabilities, both physically and mentally - as each strength compliments each other and encourage yourself to “be” on and off the mat, and allowing yourself to "be."
When I'm not guiding sessions or facilitating therapy, you'll find me cherishing the quiet moments — waking up at dawn to enjoy a restorative yoga practice or a walk in the park, cooking nourishing food, listening to podcasts during my skincare routine, or dancing around my home – or anywhere really – to reset and release.
Music fills my evenings, and singing in the shower is a non-negotiable (those acoustics!).
Beyond the Mat
Words to Live By
"We choose who we are by how we define ourselves."
This mantra underscores everything I do, both personally and professionally.
It's a reminder that our stories are ours to write, and every movement, breath, and thought contributes to the narrative
