Dr Robyn Thompson

Founder of The Thompson Method

RM, RN, M&CH, BAppSc, PhD

After spending decades guiding women through labour and birth as a midwife, Dr Robyn made a curious observation:

Women who gave birth to their babies at home had significantly better breastfeeding outcomes than those who gave birth in hospital.

Dr Robyn made it her mission to find out why that was the case and, at the age of 70, she was awarded the world's first PhD in nipple trauma.

Her seven years of PhD research became the basis for The Thompson Method, and her online programmes have helped tens of thousands of women all over the world prevent and overcome common breastfeeding challenges.
