Hi, I’m Melissa Cole, MS, IBCLC, PMH-C, neonatal oral-motor assessment professional, clinical herbalist, and founder of Luna Lactation and Wellness in Portland, Oregon.
For the last year, my community and colleagues have been asking for dedicated time and space to explore challenging topics so we can engage in meaningful dialogue with like-hearted peers.
LunaLab is my answer. A virtual space for critical thinking, collaborative learning, and refining your practice with clinical rigor, wisdom, and compassion.
A place to call our very own. One where accessibility isn’t limited by your location or expensive registration fees.
“This model is very unique. I feel like I’m sitting with friends and geeking about work. Thank you for building this community.”
IBCLC, LunaLab Member
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT LUNALAB
What To Expect From Lunalab
I will hold two, 75-minute virtual conversation circles online every month.
Some weeks there may be a theme, or case review, but the priority is always abundant time for live Q&A. Melissa Cole will moderate discussions.
Any clinical topics from oral function and herbal care to supportive technology, complex cases, and running a practice are fair game for community discussion.
The only rule is respectful dialog and an open mind!
1.25 L-CERPs included per session
Occasionally participants will get bonus access to a video, resource, or article to review before the monthly circles.
These are intended as additional support materials only. LunaLab does not require “homework.” I truly encourage you just to come as you are.
LunaLab is a safe space to ask questions that challenge traditional methodologies and expand your own understanding so you can gain and offer support, ideas, and community connection. No drama, no judgement.
LunaLab is for health and lactation professionals that want genuine connection and collaboration. LunaLab is an inclusive space for all aspects of feeding, lactation, and wellness to be discussed. Whether you are just getting started or are an advanced practitioner, LunaLab welcomes you!
“Love the collaboration and case studies! The case studies and “ask me anything” format is informal but professional nonetheless. Melissa is the best mentor in the world!" - LunaLab Participant
When Is LunaLab?
LunaLab will have two monthly 75 min options. We’ll meet at different days of the week and times to open these sessions up for as many members of our community as possible.
