I don't know of one in RAK, I'm afraid. Sharjah probably your closest, if you can get to them (the IBCLCs there are fantastic).
Other support options (e.g. telephone, e-mail, and Internet group support) are included in the Breastfeeding Support in the UAE (June 2011) thread: http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=151781
Hope you get the help you need - please don't hesitate to let us know how we can help.
Best wishes

Shame I don't see one listed for RAK, but I can assure you a visit to Dr Delphine would be worth it. She follows up closely by phone/email so you'd probably only need to do the one trip. I saw her recently and was very impressed.
Otherwise there are a number of Doulas here in Dubai who are also lactation consultants who may be prepared to travel to you. Not sure what your issues are, but a good consultant can make the world of difference. Really.
