Luna Lactation and Wellness

What makes a full-day, in-person workshop different?

Time to ask questions, explore clinical gray areas, and understand the reasoning behind assessment and care decisions.

Throughout this workshop, you will have opportunities to ask questions and learn directly with Melissa Cole, MS, IBCLC, PMH-C, an experienced clinician and educator specializing in perinatal herbal care and infant oral function.

Bring your questions about herbal safety, clinical resources, milk-production concerns, perinatal wellness, oral assessment, ankyloglossia, functional feeding support, or post-frenectomy care.

We will work through evidence, clinical cases, and the "why" behind individualized recommendations—so you leave with information you can thoughtfully apply in practice.

Ankyloglossia HerbalMedicine PerinatalHerbalism ClinicalReasoning ContinuingEducation KeeneNH NewHampshire

I'm so excited to be a guest teacher at the annual retreat for perinatal professionals. Two days of clinical education and rejuvenation in beautiful wine country!

All perinatal professionals who support lactating people are welcome- this is a space for you to learn effective hands-on techniques to support your lactating clients and their babies in a breathtaking setting.

Between engaging lectures, you'll enjoy nutritious meals in community, yoga, a sound healing, time in nature, and build meaningful connections with colleagues who truly understand your work. Are you ready for all this oxytocin!?

Burnout among perinatal professionals isn't just a personal challenge—it's a community health issue. When birth workers are depleted, families receive less than optimal care. By investing in your own well-being, you're truly investing in the families you serve.

You'll leave feeling rejuvenated, with a restored nervous system and renewed knowledge to support families on their lactation journeys.

Space is limited to 24 participants.

Palm Springs Jan 2027 registration is open for a full day of thoughtful, practical clinical education.

This workshop brings together two areas of care that require us to look beyond quick answers: infant oral function and evidence-informed herbal support during lactation.

We’ll spend the day exploring oral assessment, feeding function, differential diagnosis, mindful care strategies, herbal safety, clinical resources, herb-drug interactions, and real-world care planning. My goal is always to help clinicians understand the why behind what they are seeing so recommendations feel more individualized, collaborative, and useful for families.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined me at the GOLD 2026 Lactation Online Conference for From Evaluation to Education: Navigating Herbal Care Options in Lactation Consultations. 🌿

I love teaching about herbal care because it lives in an interesting space—families are already using herbs and asking questions, yet many clinicians tell me they don’t always feel confident knowing what to say.

Reading comments like:

“I was not very confident addressing herbs with patients… thank you for the guidance and resources you have provided me with to better inform my patients.”

reminds me exactly why I teach this material.

Thank you for learning with me, asking thoughtful questions, and continuing to build care that is evidence-informed, individualized, and useful in the real world. 💛🌿
