Doreen Virtue Biography
Early Life and Career
Doreen Virtue is an American self-help author of her books and also a motivational speaker in the United States. Doreen Virtue was born on April 29, 1958, in Burbank, California in the United States. As of this writing, Doreen Virtue is 62 years old. Her mother was a Christian spiritual healer, while her father was a self-employed writer. Doreen Virtue was born in a Christian Scientist family, so it’s not a surprise that she already knows about religious stuff by reading the bible even as a child. She claimed that she’s conversing with spirits and psychic abilities, like ESP, mind reading, etc. since childhood.
According to the brief Doreen Virtue biography on her website, she grew up in the blasphemous religion of Christian belief and then joined the new age. Doreen Virtue is an American best selling author about new age books in Hay House, a top-selling new house publishing house. But before she became a queen of angel work, she lived a simple life as a psychologist. Doreen Virtue studied liberal arts first at Antelope Valley College. Then studied for Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 1986 at Chapman University in Orange, California.
Doreen Virtue also got her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at Chapman University as well in 1988. Doreen Virtue studied for her doctorate philosophy in Psychology at California Coast University in 1996, which has been credited by the Distance Education Accreditation Commission. Her research focused on the potential of adults who experienced sexual abuse in childhood to develop addictions, such as eating disorders.
On September 6, 1989, she got a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern license issued. She was also licensed as Registered Psychological Assistant at that time. She also became a psychological director of the women’s inpatient psychiatric unit at Nashville, Tennessee’s Cumberland Hall Psychiatric Hospital. Doreen Virtue also worked with a specialization in eating disorders.
Before shifting a career to a Christian spiritual healer like her mother, Doreen Virtue became a self-help author of her self help books discussing psychology topics like eating disorders and child custody. I have to say that Doreen Virtue already an achiever even in her field. But everything changes when she was saved from an armed robber who tried to steal her car. Doreen Virtue claimed that she was saved by an angel by sending warnings and telling her to scream.
From then on, she studied and taught about angel numerology and divine intervention. She became known for preaching how a guardian angel helped her saved from an armed robber and the use of guardian angels in healing and living a happier life. Doreen Virtue then created a program angel therapy. Angel therapy is your typical counseling with a psychologist, combined with the use of guardian angels as spiritual healing for some of our constitution issues. Promising healing through her program angel therapy.
Aside from her program angel therapy, she also had her own show at hay house radio show. As mentioned, Doreen Virtue also became a best-selling new age book author. She also had her own 44-oracle card decks, angel number calculator, and angel tarot cards.

Christian Conversion
Everything is perfect for Doreen Virtue as a successful author, speaker, and spiritual teacher. She was earning a decent amount of net worth and salary from selling books and decks on Amazon and on her website. But it all changed when she claimed she had a vision of Jesus in the church in January 2017. She claimed that Jesus had come to her vision and told her to stop making predictions and using tarots about anything. After a month, she was officially baptized and now considered as a born-again Christian. Doreen Virtue advised her followers to burn some of her books and the decks that were connected to them. It was not easy for her to just convert to another religion. She faced criticism, conspiracies, social media bash, and lost her publisher. Through her latest book, The Joy of Jesus tackles her journey on how she decided to leave every luxury she already had to be a born-again Christian.
Current Career
