Beyond The Birth Plan
A 3-HOUR IMMERSIVE WORKSHOP
BRIGHTON, QUEENSLAND
Sunday 6th December
9am - 12pm
You're pregnant again and the excitement is there but the fear is loud.
Maybe your last birth didn't go the way you hoped. Maybe it went so far off course that even thinking about this one makes your chest tighten. Or maybe this is your first baby and you've done enough research to know that birth can be unpredictable, and the idea of that terrifies you.
So you keep googling. You join the Facebook groups. You read the birth stories. You try to make decisions, but every time you think you've landed somewhere, a new what-if pulls you back under.
What if something goes wrong again? What if I can't advocate for myself in the moment? What if I freeze? What if my birth plan is useless the second I walk through those hospital doors?
You know you need support, you just don't know what kind, or who, or where to even start.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE BEYOND THE BIRTH PLAN COMES IN...
It's more than just creating a 'better' birth plan.
It's not a checklist or a one-size-fits-all birth plan template you tick and fill in.
It is an immersive workshop experience where you actually figure out what YOU want, what YOU need, and exactly what to do if things don't go to plan.
Over the three hour workshop we will move through four phases together:
VISION
You'll get clear on what you actually want from your next birth, not what Instagram, your mother's group or your last experience tells you that you should want.
VALUES
We'll uncover the values underneath your preferences so you have something solid to come back to when decisions need to be made.
VARIABLES
This is the part most birth prep skips entirely. We map the different pathways your birth could take and explore your options, preferences and decision points along the way, so that when something unexpected happens, you're not starting from scratch. You've already thought it through. You already know what you want. We play ‘The Game of Birth’ to help you understand exactly what this can look like.
VILLAGE
Your care team matters more than most people realise. We talk about continuity of care, how to build a team that actually advocates for you, and how having the right people in your corner changes your outcomes, not just your experience.
❣
Luxurious inclusions
With morning tea and refreshments at the ready, all you need to show up with is yourself. You will complete a provided workbook throughout the day so you leave with a clarity and a plan that felt impossible when you first walked in.
By the end of the day you'll have...
❣ A clear vision of your ideal birth, and the confidence to ask for it
❣ A plan for each pathway birth might take, including the unexpected
❣ Decisions made from confidence rather than fear or overwhelm
❣ An understanding of how your care team shapes your birth, and how to build yours
❣ Your printed workbook to take home, reference, and build on throughout the rest of your pregnancy
This Is for you if...
✾
You keep spiralling in the what-ifs, you know you need support but don't know what shape it should take & you want to make real decisions about your birth instead of just hoping for the best.
✾
Or you are pregnant after a previous birth trauma and want a genuinely different experience this time.
✾
Or you are pregnant for the first time and want to walk in informed, prepared, and grounded rather than terrified.
✾
Or you've been doing the research, reading everything, joining every group, and still feel like you're going in circles.
Hey there!
I'm Rhiannah!
I am a naturopath, counsellor, and birth cartographer. I've combined all three disciplines specifically because birth trauma doesn't live in just one part of you. It lives in your body, your nervous system, your thoughts... the whole of you.
I've also walked through two traumatic births of my own, a three-day induction ending in a fourth degree tear at 21, and an emergency caesarean at 26. I know what it feels like to come out of a birth room not knowing what just happened. I know what it feels like to face another pregnancy carrying that.
I've facilitated over 19 peer support groups supporting more than 100 women. I've trained health professionals in preventing birth trauma.
This workshop is built from everything I know, clinically, personally, and from years of sitting with women in exactly your position.
What women say...
The feedback I receive the most from women who’ve worked with me is how they finally feel understood, they feel safe to share their deepest, darkest thoughts and finally have an understanding of what happened to them and how it’s showing up in their world now so that they can move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my partner or support person?
This workshop is designed just for you, mama! You do leave with your completed workbook that you can go through with your partner and support people.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself! You will be provided with everything you need from the workbook and pen to morning tea and refreshments.
How many women will be there?
This workshop is limited to just 10 women to keep the space intimate, interactive and supportive.
I'm pregnant for the first time and/or I've never had a traumatic birth, can I still come?
Yes! This workshop is open to you if you've not had a traumatic birth or if you're pregnant for the first time. A lot of this work is done to prevent the preventable when it comes to birth trauma. My specialty and experience is in pregnancy and birth after birth trauma.
Do I have to be a certain number of weeks pregnant to come to this workshop?
Not necessarily! It's never too early to start planning for your next birth. However, I would recommend not booking in if you are 34 weeks or more pregnant at the time of the workshop, so that you at least have the time to prepare and don't go into labour too early!
What if I can't make it on the day? What is your refund policy?
Refunds can not be provided if you change your mind or are unable to attend due to a change in personal circumstances. The cost of your ticket can also be used for a different service or credit towards working with Rhiannah Pohlman if you are unable to attend. Your ticket can be transferred to another person that you can find if you cannot make it. If the workshop is cancelled by Rhiannah Pohlman, you will receive a full refund.
You've probably already spent hours researching.
Hours worrying. Hours going around in circles trying to figure out what you actually want and whether it's even possible.
This workshop isn’t about predicting exactly what will happen.
It’s about walking away knowing what matters to you, understanding the paths your birth might take, and feeling more equipped to navigate decisions along the way.
You don't need to control your next birth to feel prepared for it.
You need a map.
Let's build yours.
