Shahrzad Javid
Shahrzad Javid is a full time working single mommy of a beautiful six year old daughter. Being a social butterfly and obsessing about the details in any special occasion has translated into her being “that Mommy”, celebrating anything possible. She prides herself on being an open book, discussing her traumas, as helping others pushes her to constantly be stronger. Self love, her daughter, family, friends and all areas of health continue to be at the forefront of her life. Each day is beautifully chaotic in her busy life!
