About Summaiya
Summaiya Ayub is a parent coach, part-time teacher, and counsellor-in-training. A single mother of two, she blends lived experience, parent coaching training, counselling skills, and Islamic wisdom to help parents raise children who are healthy emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Her work centres on building inner safety and true presence in parenting – not just being there, but showing up with integrity and sincerity that can be felt so children feel deeply seen. From this foundation, she believes cooperation and joy naturally follow.
Rooted in faith, Summaiya draws on the Qur’an, the wisdom of her teachers, her love of learning about human relationships and healing generational trauma. As the daughter of migrant Pakistani parents, she honours her culture while thoughtfully choosing which parts to carry forward.
She sees the parent–child bond as sacred, guided by the Prophet’s (s) words: “Play with them for the first seven years; then teach them for the next seven; then advise them for the next seven.”
For Summaiya, this relationship shapes everything – from emotional and physical health to spirituality, relationships, and even how we approach money, food, and exercise.
Her invitation is clear: let’s honour this truth, take responsibility, and learn how to do right by our children — together.
Let’s raise children who feel seen, accepted, and loved as they are – so they can grow into the truest version of who Allah created them to be, find their purpose and do good in the world.
