Dr Robyn Thompson is an experienced midwife; family, child, and maternal health nurse (MCaFHN); breastfeeding specialist; and founder of The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Program. For nearly five decades, thousands of women and their babies have experienced the benefits of her gentle and intuitive method of breastfeeding.

After being awarded a PhD for her research into why so many women were experiencing painful nipple trauma in the early postnatal period, Dr Robyn developed her online educational programs to help women all over the world strengthen their resolve in themselves and their instinctive skills.

She is a midwife called upon by midwives, and she has had the privilege of working closely with the Mater Mothers’ Hospital, Brisbane, where The Thompson Method has been tested by research under the watchful eye of Professor Sue Kildea.

More recently, Dr Robyn has been awarded an honorary appointment as Adjunct Associate Professor with the College of Nursing and Midwifery at Charles Darwin University, NT. She has become a mentor to a growing number of student midwives and health professionals, all keen to further their knowledge and experience.

In 2022, Dr Robyn oversaw the launch of The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Academy, which is now nurturing and educating the next generation of certified Thompson Method Practitioners and Educators.

Although you'll receive a certificate of completion, you will not receive certification through this program.  However, you will gain a thorough understanding of the foundational principles of The Thompson Method to assist you, if you already currently work with pregnant or breastfeeding women.

If you're interested in becoming a Certified Thompson Method Breastfeeding Practitioner or Educator, please consider joining The Breastfeeding Academy.
