Meet the Staff Pauline Dillard, Ph.D.
Before getting her graduate degrees in Christian Clinical Psychology Pauline was a childbirth educator and doula for twelve years in the San Jose, CA area. She was originally certified with the Bradley method, and then gave that up when the Lord led her to teach childbirth classes from a Christ-centered point of view. She also trained other Christian educators and doulas. She wrote Discerning Childbirth™ with her former partner, Vaughn Marie Rodriquez, in the mid 1990s. This is the foundational material for the Dunamas™ Center’s Discerning Childbirth™ classes and Choices in Childbirth seminar. Watch for a revised version under the name Choices in Childbirth: A Discerning Childbirth Guidebook for Christian Parents in the Making.
Before she was a birth educator or a Doctor of Christian Clinical Psychology, Pauline was first and foremost a wife and mother. She now has three grown sons. She has one granddaughter, who is now seven years old, and is the light of her life. She has had experience as a public school mom, a private school mom, and a home schooling mom. She has been married to her husband, Mike, for 27 years and looks forward to another 27 years, (and more!) in the Lord with him.
Pauline has written two novels and Choices in Childbirth which will be available through our bookstore when the shopping cart is completed.
Jeff and Catherine Pearson
In March 2008 Jeff and Catherine completed Christ centered, heart connecting, and marriage focused counseling with Dr. Dillard. In October 2008 they completed class studies for childbirth education through the Cascade Christian Childbirth Association. Since fall of 2008 they have been studying with Dr. Dillard, learning the Discerning Childbirth™ method of childbirth education. They were also privileged to observe John Regier at Caring for the Heart Ministries. During this time of training they studied materials by Kelly Townsend, Sheila Kitzinger, Marsden Wagner, M.D. and Pauline Dillard.
In addition to training to be the Dunamas™ Center’s childbirth education team, Jeff has been the driving force in the development of the brand design and marketing materials for the center. If you would like to have Jeff help you with your brand identity contact the Dunamas™ Center and we would be happy to get you in contact with him.

Pauline is the founder of the Dunamas™ Center, for Marriage, Birthing, and Family Studies. Pauline earned her Masters and Doctorate degrees from South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary, through their distance learning program. She has been in private practice as an unlicensed psychotherapist in Colorado since 2003. In addition to her education in Psychology, Pauline is a certified Biblical Health Coach, and has trained in heart centering marriage counseling with John Regier of Caring for the Heart Ministries in Colorado Springs, CO. Pauline believes that God has made us body, mind, and spirit and all three aspects of who we are need to be addressed and cared for in counseling and in relationships.
Jeff and Catherine are Colorado natives who grew up in Fort Collins. After their wedding in June 1999 they moved to Colorado Springs. They have three children: Elizabeth, born in 2003, Nicholas, born in 2007, and Kacia, born in 2009.
Sharon was born, and lived, in the Topeka/Manhattan, KS area until 2003 when God called her to move to Colorado Springs. She became a nurse in 1983, and has worked in all areas of nursing over the years. Before moving to Colorado, Sharon knew that the Lord was leading her to move in the direction of working in ministry. In 2008 she started working with Dr. Pauline Dillard in the development and formation of the Dunamas™ Center. In 2009 she came on staff full-time as our office manager. When you call the Dunamas™ Center Sharon is the person you will most likely interact with first. Although the Dunamas™ Center is a private organization, it has a ministry heart—fulfilling the call God put on her heart back in 2003.      |
