Biography:
Lindsey Reeves is a Registered Dietitian, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and owner of private practice, Angel Food Lactation & Nutrition, LLC. She developed a passion for wellness almost 20 years ago and knew her career had to focus on empowering others with tools necessary to find their perfect balance of health and happiness. She completed her undergraduate degree in exercise science at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and worked in a corporate wellness center as a fitness trainer and health coach for a large company. Upon completion, she pursued a dual program combining her Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at Meredith College. Here, she found her ultimate calling in supporting families in perinatal and pediatric nutrition and lactation. She established her private practice providing nutrition and wellness support while completing her lactation training through the Mary Rose Tully Training Initiative at UNC-Chapel Hill. As she dove deeper into the field of lactation, she found the rich and impactful world of birth support. For a short season, she became a DONA Certified Birth Doula and childbirth educator to expand her understanding and improve her level of care for families during this huge transition in life. Lindsey has been an RD, IBCLC for 10 years and her love for this work grows with each year of practice. From one-on-one consultations in her private practice to teaching professional audiences of all sizes, Lindsey couldn't imagine a more honorable career and feels so blessed to be in this field of work! In her personal life, Lindsey is mom to 3 incredible sons and a wife to the most amazing and supportive husband. She has been pregnant and/or lactating for the last 7.5 years and is currently nursing their 2 year old 'mik' monster.
