Hello, I'm Leslie Arakelian, Postpartum Identity Coach, and founder of Becoming More than Mom.

I noticed very early on in my own motherhood journey how quickly our personal identity's slips away after we become a Mom, until we are suddenly only referred to as, "Liam's Mom."

And while I love my family and my son I became passionate about rediscovering who Leslie is now, what my non-negotiables are, setting boundaries, and working towards what I truly want for myself in this season of my life.

I created this workshop to reach as many new moms as possible. I want to help you discover your essential self within and beyond your role as 'Mom."

I know that you want change, that is why you are here. Come join us!

I know...

you're probably thinking 'why should I trust you?

SEE FOR YOURSELF 👉

"At first, I was nervous about trying this style of photography. I had never done anything like this before!"

"Leslie is super flexible and made sure I was comfortable. I got to choose which outfits and how much skin I wanted to show. I had so much fun during the shoot, and Leslie did a great job bringing out my genuine smiles and expressions, and not just the face I put on for the camera! She is fantastic with direction and gave me lots of compliments to feel confident about my poses and time in front of the camera. I loved being able to preview my photos on the same day they were taken as well! It was very empowering to see the results."
