I am truly grateful for Luka, for how she guided us with her abundant experience through this course. It has offered me next to it, valuable scientific studies that support traditional knowledge. This connection between empirical evidence and time honored beliefs and practices has confirmed and enriched my understanding and innate knowledge. I’m looking forward to keep studying in this direction. Thank you Luka for your loving ways.

Luka’s Birth Imprint class offered invaluable wisdom that continues to shape the way I see myself, my children, and my clients. It opened a new lens of understanding, helping me recognize how early imprints subtly yet powerfully influence our lives. What truly fascinated me was witnessing, in real time, how these imprints show up in individuals — and once identified, the patterns become unmistakably clear. I’m deeply grateful for this experience and excited to continue exploring this profound work.

Learning about birth imprints has opened up a brand new world for me. Even just standing at the gates of this new territory has given me countless opportunities of a true understanding when it comes to my own deep seated patterns, my children’s stories and those of the families I work with. I have been given new eyes and the gift of learning how to listen deeply. With this practice of presence, connecting the dots has come so freely.

Luka Barba founded Deeply Rooted Healing Traditions in order to serve the women and families of her community by providing the traditional care so often absent during the powerfully transformative postpartum period. By following the wisdom of generations of women around the world, Luka is able to uplift, empower and support new mothers as they bring life into our world. 

By bringing her training and ancestral intuition to the forefront, Luka honors the sacredness of birthing and the postpartum period, and helps her clients tap into their own intuition and  forgotten capabilities, allowing them to heal and thrive. Her work with mothers, newborns and families uplifts and supports them physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

At the foundation of Luka’s work is a focus on generational and lineage healing as she helps clients integrate and somatically process birth imprints (also referred to as birth trauma). Integrating these experiences allows individuals to avoid passing traumatic experiences forward into their future experiences as well as into future generations. 

This work is Luka’s calling in this lifetime. Her medicine to the world. The birth of her two daughters, ignited this Remembrance and True Knowing. Her desire to create a full spectrum care for women and babies led her to becoming a UCSD Certified Lactation Educator + Counselor, Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (specializing in Mom and Newborns), Holistic Tongue Tie Specialist, Certified Innate Postpartum Care Provider, and as of 2023, Assistant Teacher to Innate Postpartum training. As well, as steep herself in the wisdom and practices of traditional communities such as belly binding, yoni steaming, Abdominal Womb Massage. Luka is currently enrolled as a member of the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America (BCTA/NA) and has been studying from pioneers of Pre and Perinatal Psychology since 2016, as it’s been one of her passions and continues to this day. Luka is an educator for the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), PPNE and a Somatic Trauma Practitioner. Studying under, Anna Chitty, owner and founder of Colorado School of Energy Studies. 

Luka’s dedication to her work is on behalf of the birthing mothers, their babies, families, communities, and to Earth Mother herself. 

Birth Imprints with Luka was truly profound! I was first introduced to the concept of birth imprints through Luka’s teaching in the INNATE Postpartum Care training. During that time, I had a powerful realization about my daughter’s breastfeeding journey, it was a missing piece of the puzzle I hadn’t been able to see before. I found myself craving more, so when this longer course was offered, I was thrilled to dive deeper.

Throughout my life, I’ve sensed that certain imprints from birth were shaping my experiences, but I never had the language to fully understand or articulate them. In Luka’s course, I was able to explore these imprints more deeply and begin to see how they influence every area of my life. This work felt especially impactful as a practitioner who supports women.

This course is an absolute must for any birth professional, mother, or individual seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and others. Luka’s ability to guide this process with depth, care, and clarity is a true gift.

After having completed the Innate Traditons postpartum certification training, I felt a strong pull toward Luka's knowledge.

Much of her techniques are first and foremost based on observation and this innate knowing that babies are consistently telling their story. After years of studying and practice, Luka has a unique understanding of what a baby's journey through birth can look like.

Another aspect that stood out for me in Luka's birth imprints course was learning how to find your centre in order to be of service to mothers and families.

This is a life long work but through Luka's teachings one can get a deeper understanding of themselves by first diving into their own birth imprints and then using these acquired tools to support mothers. This is an essential step in choosing to work with people, especially as a birth worker/postpartum practitioner.

The second layer of Luka's breastfeeding knowledge is a whole universe to be immersed into. Part of me wants more and I will definitely be referring directly to her for consultations and guidance. I am grateful for these courses offered and would highly recommend it. With gratitude and in service to life.
