“It has been a welcome joy to be here and experience a different pace in my working life.
“I am thankful to have more time to support women and their families during such an important time. I feel more able to apply my knowledge and experience to fully support women, rather than feeling rushed.
“The staff midwives at Temora Health Service have been extremely welcoming, and my transition to living and working in Temora has been a very comfortable one.
Pauline feels privileged to participate in the birthing journey for women in the community of Temora.
“I prefer to say we are working alongside women and their families, supporting them through their pregnancy, birth and parenting journeys.
“We are focused on providing women with balanced information so they can make choices that suit them as individuals and as part of a family.
“I have a sincere heart for helping women through the often hidden and unspoken challenges and unexpected parts of pregnancy, birth and parenting.
“Even though the size of the town is small in comparison to Sydney, the community in Temora has been very friendly, welcoming and really provides most of the services and facilities that make our family’s lives very comfortable and enjoyable.
“The only thing I do miss are a wider choice of cultural foods and restaurants, but I am sure that as more people move the friendliest town in NSW, these extra things will emerge.
And Pauline feels confident about that as she explains, “Of the 14 members in my immediate family, 10 of them accompanied me in our tree change to Temora.
“We currently all live in one very noisy, and chaotic home, while our new home is built, but we don’t mind.
“The quality of life here has truly enriched our lives and we have been very blessed to have found Temora.
