MEET THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

Kristy Yurichak is an occupational therapist with advanced training in neurodevelopment, sensory‑motor foundations, somatic regulation, and fascia‑focused therapeutic techniques. She earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from Wayne State University in 2012 and has spent 14 years supporting children with autism, sensory processing differences, attention challenges, developmental delays, motor coordination difficulties, and retained primitive reflexes. Her work emphasizes the foundational systems that support regulation, confident participation, functional independence, and meaningful engagement in daily life.

​

In addition to pediatric care, Kristy provides adult somatic work, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR), and soon Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). These hands‑on approaches address fascial restrictions, support lymphatic flow, reduce pain, and improve nervous system regulation. Her training in interoceptive awareness and her certification as a Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist allow her to integrate body‑based and somatic principles across both pediatric and adult sessions.

​

Kristy founded Ready, Set, Bloom Therapy LLC to offer developmentally aligned, individualized care that honors the whole person. She is deeply committed to creating a calm, supportive environment where clients can reconnect with their bodies, feel safe in their nervous systems, and experience meaningful change. Her practice is also shaped by her faith, which informs her belief in dignity, gentleness, and the innate worth of every person she serves. She holds a core belief that healing happens when the body is listened to, not pushed — and that true growth comes from safety, attunement, and respect.

​

Whether she is helping a child build emerging skills or supporting an adult through restorative bodywork, Kristy brings a grounded presence and a whole‑body perspective to every session.
