"One of the main reasons we are not able to operate effectively is because we do not have full access to our life force," explains healer Claudette Bouchard, whose work is to assist people in what she terms "life force recovery."

Bouchard describes health as "an alignment and flow of energy." She sees health problems as occurring when the life energy cannot flow.

"Illness, confusion and accidents result when this energetic flow becomes blocked or misdirected. These are signs from the soul that we need to re-evaluate and realign with our deeper self," says Bouchard.
