LEARN MOREDr Robyn found the piece that most breastfeeding training doesn't cover.
Midwives and IBCLCs who come to the Academy are experienced, committed consultants already doing meaningful work with the women in their care.
What Dr Robyn's research uncovered was a specific gap - not in their skill or dedication, but in what the system had equipped them with. Particularly in complex situations. Particularly where there is no one to call.
The Thompson Method fills that gap. And the women in your care will feel the difference.
Dr Robyn built what lets you do more with it.
Doulas, physiotherapists, and allied health professionals are often the most consistent presence in a mother's journey â trusted across months, sometimes years.
What many describe is a gap at the point where breastfeeding begins. Not from lack of care or skill â but because structured, evidence-based breastfeeding preparation simply wasn't part of their training.
The Thompson Method Educator certification changes that. So that when the moment comes, you are ready for it.
