Beginnings:
Born in Belgium and raised in New York City, she moved to Vancouver, Canada in the late 60s. She started her career in Reflexology in 1974. Her son was suffering from severe hearing loss and she was searching for an alternative solution to surgery. Although skeptical at first , she turned to reflexology and three weeks later, he began to hear!

Yvette Eastman is an innovator, and therefore a rebel! She has created one-of-a-kind workshops that are changing lives. She’s an insightful Instructor, who understands her students and her colleagues because she understands herself. As an author, she has written 10 books geared to learning Reflexology in all its attributes. Her manual “Touchpoint Reflexology, The First Steps” is in its 6th printing and is just as viable now as it was in its first printing in 1985. All her books are filled with clear explanations and many illustrations, describing the location of reflexes and how to work on them.
