Dr Anastacia Tomson

Dr Anastacia Tomson is a multifaceted personality — a doctor, author, and tireless activist. Renowned for her expertise in LGBTQIA+ and transgender healthcare, Anastacia played a pivotal role in leading the process of crafting South Africa’s inaugural guideline on gender-affirming hormone therapy. Her unique journey as a queer, trans, autistic doctor fuels her dedication to creating a healthcare environment that is not only safer and more accessible but also infused with kindness. Anastacia’s immense capacity for compassion matches her deep-seated drive for justice.

Anastacia is a 2009 graduate from the University of Pretoria and refined her unique skill set across Mpumalanga, Gauteng, and the Western Cape. As a Mandela Washington Fellow, she studied public health and policy in Ohio and did professional development with Equal Rights Washington in Seattle. She managed clinical trials in Cape Town before joining MyFamilyGP, becoming managing partner in 2023.

Away from her professional endeavours, Anastacia finds joy and balance in various pursuits. You might catch her indulging in the exhilaration of a run, engaging in the creative assembly of LEGO, or admiring her cherished collection of fountain pens and vibrant inks, often contemplating their subsequent artistic use (or lamenting the lack thereof). Anastacia's culinary skills come to life in her kitchen as she crafts delicious vegan delicacies, sharing her passion for compassionate and sustainable living.
