Rakelia Pearson, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, IBCLC

Founder & Owner | Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner | International Board Certified Lactation Consultant

Meet Rakelia Pearson, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), perinatal mental health-trained healthcare provider, U.S. Army veteran, and founder of Uniquely Yours Women's Wellness Clinic and Uniquely Yours Lactation Services.

With more than 16 years of nursing experience, Rakelia brings a diverse clinical background spanning maternal and newborn health, labor and delivery, postpartum care, cardiac nursing, and long-term care. Her experience has shaped her commitment to providing compassionate, individualized healthcare that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term wellness.

As the founder of Uniquely Yours Lactation Services, established in 2022, Rakelia has spent years supporting mothers and families throughout pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the postpartum period. Through this work, she recognized an important gap in women's healthcare: while mothers often receive consistent medical attention during pregnancy, many struggle to navigate their own healthcare needs after childbirth.

This realization inspired her expansion into women's wellness and primary care, with a special emphasis on fourth trimester health, transitional primary care, and perinatal mental health.

With additional training in perinatal mental health, Rakelia recognizes the importance of addressing emotional and psychological well-being alongside physical health. She is committed to supporting women experiencing concerns such as postpartum depression, anxiety, emotional adjustment, and other mental health challenges during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Rakelia's approach to healthcare is rooted in the belief that a mother's health deserves just as much attention after childbirth as it does during pregnancy. She is passionate about helping women navigate postpartum recovery, identify and manage pregnancy-related health risks, address mental health concerns, and establish a foundation for lifelong wellness.

While maternal health remains a central focus of her practice, Rakelia provides comprehensive primary care for adult women, including preventive healthcare, chronic disease management, reproductive wellness, and mental health support.

As both a Family Nurse Practitioner and an IBCLC, with specialized training in perinatal mental health, she brings a unique perspective to maternal healthcare by integrating medical management, breastfeeding medicine, emotional wellness, patient education, and continuity of care.

Rakelia believes that healthcare should never be one-size-fits-all. She strives to create a welcoming environment where every woman feels heard, respected, informed, and actively involved in her healthcare decisions.

Her mission is simple: to ensure that women receive the care, attention, and support they deserve—not just during pregnancy or postpartum recovery, but throughout every season of womanhood.

Your Health. Your Journey. Your Care. Uniquely Yours.
