Meet Our Founder, Dahlia

I believe the body is born knowing how to heal, learn, and connect.

As a second-generation Mexican-Indigenous woman, I learned early how to navigate spaces where my body didn't feel safe.

Code-switching became survival. That experience taught me something profound - when bodies feel unsafe, learning isn't possible.

I've spent years bridging ancient wisdom my ancestors carry with modern science that validates what they always knew: learning happens in community, through the body, in relationship with the Earth.

Why this work...

I got tired of educational systems that ask bodies to be still, quiet, and disconnected.

Our nervous systems aren't designed for that. Our spirits aren't meant for that.

Founding Liberated Learning is my way of creating the learning spaces I needed as a child - places where bodies are honored, emotions are welcome, and wisdom is remembered rather than downloaded.

My Training

* Certified somatic movement guide
* Trauma-informed learning specialist
* Restorative circle facilitator
* Master's in Curriculum & Instruction
* Community Engagement specialist
* Reading intervention & SEL specialist

My deepest training comes from my own healing journey, navigating systems that weren't built for bodies like mine and the hundreds of people who've trusted me to hold space for theirs.

Our Values

Unity

Unity is our foundation - the knowing that we are already connected, already whole.

When we practice together, barriers dissolve.

When we move together, separation becomes illusion.

When we heal together, individual transformation serves collective liberation.

Unity is the body's truth that what heals one heals all. It's why our practices are never for ourselves alone - they ripple outward, creating the world we move toward.

Love

Love is how we stay when it gets real.

When bodies remember trauma.

When old patterns surface.

When systems push back.

Love is the powerful presence that says 'I see you, all of you.' It's the force that keeps us showing up for each other's liberation.

This is our practice: to love beyond comfort, to hold space for what's difficult, to trust the process even when it asks everything of us. Love is what moves us through individual healing toward collective freedom.

Healing

Healing happens in relationship.

With each other, with the earth, with the systems that hold us.

We don't fix or cure.

We create conditions where the body remembers its wisdom, where communities practice restoration, where transformation emerges through connection.

This healing is movement toward collective liberation, where individual and community wellbeing serve the whole.

Freedom

Freedom lives in the body.

In the breath that moves freely.

In the movements that unlock what's been stuck.

When bodies move freely, systems shift. When voices speak truth, liberation ripples. When communities practice together, new worlds emerge.

We use somatic tools for collective liberation and to co-create spaces where authentic expression serves the whole.
