Legacy Counseling with Kindal Akers

08/09/2025

I had the opportunity to participate as a vendor at the Bumps & Beyond event this past week. It was wonderful to connect with all the pregnant and postpartum moms and their families! The event highlighted all the amazing resources in our area for perinatal families. I think I had the best spot sandwiched between the Rebel Chef and Poppets Play Place and directly across from Rebecca Young at Renewed Hope Chiropractic and the wonderful staff at Milestones Physical Therapy. Thanks Kayla Cooper at Ittybitty Ultrasounds for your hard work to make the event successful!

Boundaries -This is an analogy I use with kids. It works well. 😀

“If you invite someone into your home and they start breaking things and insulting your decor, you don't have to hate them, but you wouldn't invite them into your home anymore.

Boundaries are doing the same thing except your home is your mind. Your home is your heart. Your home is your time and your life.

Uninvite the guests who don't know how to treat your home with respect.”

If you’re in your 2nd or 3rd trimester, you’re invited! I’m a licensed professional counselor, and excited to lead a Postpartum Prep 2 hour class where attendees will:

•create their own plan for emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness during the 4th trimester

•learn about risk factors for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)

I have lived experience with PMADs after my first was born 6.5 weeks early, and the plan I will be sharing has components from what I used to avoid PMADs with baby number 2. I have completed basic & advanced training from Postpartum Support International & regularly help clients with birth trauma, NICU experience, and PMADs.

1. Doughlene (pronounced like Jolene)
