My story and why I serve
Hi there and welcome!! My name is Cheyenne Dodson and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 9 years of combined education and hands-on experience supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum, and all things in between. I earned both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Nutrition from Appalachian State University, where I focused on maternal, infant, and child nutrition. My graduate research explored the barriers to breastfeeding in rural Western North Carolina, deepening my commitment to improving access to compassionate, evidence-based care in our communities. I also completed the IBCLC training program through UNC Chapel Hill to further strengthen my clinical skills. In addition, I am trained by the state of North Carolina to provide nutrition counseling, allowing me to support families not only with lactation, but with individualized nutrition guidance as well.
Beyond my professional background, I was fortunate to breastfeed both of my children, Harper and Hudson, and I understand firsthand the joys, questions, and challenges that can come with feeding a baby. My husband and I live in Zebulon with our children, and our family inspires the heart behind my work every day. I founded Milk+Magnolia to provide nurturing, empowering support and advocacy for families. My goal is to help you feel confident, encouraged, and deeply cared for throughout your feeding journey.
