Hi. I’m Elizabeth.
A Virtual Parent Coach, Licensed Pediatric Occupational Therapist, child sensory expert, Founder of Bud to Bloom – & most importantly, I’m a parent myself.
After years of working in a clinical setting, I began to recognize a disconnect between traditional therapy and what was able to be accomplished at home – even by parents who really cared & wanted to help their child to progress.
Although I value traditional therapy in a clinical setting, I also began to recognize that many families lack accessibility to therapy due to barriers such as insurance complications, scheduling conflicts & lack of communication between providers & caretakers. I have observed families who are exhausted, living in a chaotic cycle of decision fatigue and stress.
I began to suspect that a virtual parent-coaching model could give me an efficient link to families whose homes & hearts were being continually disrupted and that it could help me direct families to services such as traditional therapy, or programs that can help.
Bud to Bloom is also now offering Sensory Enrichment Packages that combine my group parent classes, parent coaching, individualized graphics, and 1:1 occupational therapy sessions. These are quarterly packages that provide a concierge approach to providing occupational therapy services. The comprehensive nature of Sensory Enrichment Packaging improves not only the functional independence of the student but also improves the independence and confidence of the parents!
With Bud to Bloom, I help parents by building a relationship with you and your child as we identify where you & your child need the most help. We create a realistic plan that works for your families life & helps your child.
My goal is to help you deeply understand your child’s experience so that you can develop new patterns, improve your relationships & reduce stress in your life.

She also is gaining experience as a school Occupational Therapist. She received her UX certification and has the ability to analyze content with an emphasis on enhancing the user experience.

“Elizabeth Arizpe has done a wonderful job with our 9-year-old son. Before we started working with Elizabeth, dinner time was frequently a struggle for us that usually ended with our son in tears and my wife and I very frustrated cleaning up a mess. After a few weeks of working with Mrs. Arizpe dinner time is back to being a very integral part of family life. We can definitely say that our son is more willing to try new foods. We are incredibly thankful for the knowledge that she has passed on to our family.”
