HEY, I'M AISHA, the founder and dreamer behind Cup Of Parenting, on a mission to help mums navigate the challenges of parenting.

My story really began after the difficulties we all faced during the lockdown. 

With a new baby at home and eldest going through the challenging teen years, parenting was tough! This was when I decided to train in Positive Discipline parenting and The Incredible Years parent training. This made a huge impact on our family life, thus I decided to help other parents through coaching.
