Manizeh Mirza-Gruber

Manizeh Mirza-Gruber, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist (ABPN), and a mindfulness teacher and mentor. She cares deeply about guiding others with kindness and compassion to become their truest selves.

Manizeh loves animals, especially dogs, and grew up with her first dog when she was six years old. Manizeh always loved reading books to her two children, and they are the inspiration for her becoming an author. She hopes to leave a legacy for children everywhere.

Manizeh lives in Houston, with her husband and their two dogs. She is “Paying it Forward with Cuddles.” A portion of the sales from each book will be donated to animal rescue shelters providing hope and a home to one rescue at a time.

Mama, I Will Send You a Purple Flower celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the moment Manizeh’s eyes and heart met with Cuddles for the first time.
