Grounding Through Your Senses
Inhale, Exhale
See: Name 3 things you can see around you. Notice the colors, shapes, & details.
Hear: Name 3 things you can hear, near or far. Listen without judgement.
Rooted in strengths. Focused on independence.
At Holistic Abilities, my mission is to empower individuals of all ages to build independence and live meaningful, fulfilling lives. Through personalized and compassionate occupational therapy, I support children, adolescents, and adults in developing the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the community—honoring each person’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.
Feel: Name 3 things you can feel. This can be your feet on the floor, clothes on your skin, or a gentle stretch.

Services
At Holistic Abilities, sessions are designed to be engaging, individualized, and rooted in real-life goals. I use play-based, practical, and strengths-focused strategies to help children, teens, and young adults build confidence and independence in the skills that matter most to them. Whether we're working on fine motor skills, managing big emotions, or preparing for daily routines, therapy is always tailored to meet each individual where they are—while supporting families every step of the way.
Assessment
Comprehensive Evaluation
Holistic occupational therapy assessments use both standardized and non-standardized tools to understand a client’s strengths, challenges, and daily routines. The results guide personalized goals and practical recommendations for success at home, in school, and in the community.
Payment
Holistic Abilities is a private pay practice, and I am not currently accepting insurance. I am happy to provide a superbill upon request that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
About Me
Hi, I’m Kirsten Youngstrom, OTR/L and the founder of Holistic Abilities. I’m an occupational therapist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults to build confidence, independence, and meaningful everyday skills. I take a holistic, strengths-based approach—focusing on each person’s abilities and helping them grow through personalized, practical support.
​
In addition to my clinical background, I’m also a Reiki practitioner and intuitive healer, integrating gentle energy work and mindfulness-based techniques to support healing on a deeper level—mind, body, and spirit. I believe that true progress happens when we nurture the whole person, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward a more balanced and empowered life.

Reiki
Discover the healing power of Reiki at Holistic Abilities. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that helps restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki works by channeling universal life energy through the practitioner’s hands, encouraging deep relaxation, emotional release, and natural healing. At Holistic Abilities, Reiki is offered as part of a whole-person approach to wellness. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve energy, or find emotional balance, Reiki provides a supportive space to pause, breathe, and restore.
My Approach
As both an occupational therapist and Reiki practitioner, I bring a unique integrative perspective to every session. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can feel nurtured, grounded, and empowered in your own healing journey. Reiki at Holistic Abilities is not about “fixing” but about supporting the body’s natural ability to restore balance.
