My name is Rima Charara, and I am a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) dedicated to supporting mothers through one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences in life—feeding their babies.

I created Mothers First with a simple mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based lactation support that empowers mothers to feel confident, comfortable, and connected during their breastfeeding journey. As both a healthcare provider and a mother myself, I understand the emotional, physical, and practical challenges that come with feeding a newborn. My goal is to meet every mother with patience, understanding, and individualized care that respects her goals and honors her experience.

With years of clinical training and hands-on experience, I combine medical knowledge with a gentle, supportive approach. Whether you are preparing for your first baby, navigating the early postpartum days, or overcoming feeding challenges, I am here to guide you with clarity, reassurance, and real solutions.

Every mother deserves a safe space to learn, ask questions, and receive non-judgmental support. At Mothers First, you will always be heard, supported, and cared for — because your well-being matters, and your journey comes first.
