MEET THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
KRISTY YURICHAK, MOT, OTR/L, CPRCS
Owner, Occupational Therapist
Kristy Yurichak earned her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Wayne State University in 2012. Since then, she has worked as a school‑based occupational therapist in both private and public settings, supporting children across a wide range of developmental needs. Throughout her career, Kristy has recognized the importance of addressing the underlying foundations that support a child’s ability to learn, move, and participate with confidence. This insight inspired her to create Ready, Set, Bloom Therapy LLC, offering flexible, individualized occupational therapy services that help children grow and thrive in their everyday environments.
Kristy takes a strength‑based, interest‑driven approach to therapy, with a focus on building confidence and supporting the developmental systems that make daily activities easier. She uses a holistic, whole‑child perspective to understand each child’s unique profile and tailors interventions to support the foundational skills that influence posture, coordination, visual‑motor integration, sensory‑motor development, and daily living skills.
Kristy has extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with sensory processing differences, attention challenges, developmental delays, genetic conditions, and motor coordination difficulties. Her additional training in interoceptive awareness enhances her ability to support children’s body awareness and self‑regulation. As a Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist, Kristy is trained in neurodevelopmental techniques that help integrate retained reflexes and strengthen the neurological pathways that support movement, learning, and functional participation.
Kristy is continually expanding her clinical skills and deepening her understanding of the body‑based foundations that support child development. She is committed to providing thoughtful, developmentally aligned care that helps children build the physical and neurological groundwork they need to flourish.
