Early life and education
Doreen Virtue was born Doreen Hannan in Southern California, spending her childhood in North Hollywood until her family moved to Escondido, San Diego in 1968.[3] She grew up as a student of Christian Science.[1]
Virtue earned a master's degree in counseling psychology from Protestant-affiliated Chapman University[1] and a distance learning PhD in psychology from California Coast University, before it was accredited.[4]
New Age career
Prior to 1995, Virtue worked as a psychotherapist. She was the victim of a carjacking that year and attributed "angelic intervention" for preventing her from death or serious injury; following the event, she chose to close her therapy practice and begin performing tarot readings. Over the next two decades, Doreen published over fifty books and divination cards through the New Age publishing company Hay House.[4]
The primary focus of Virtue's spiritual practice was "angel spirituality", a strain of New Age thought that attributes esoteric and occult qualities to traditional Christian angels.[5] Her works drew from symbolism across several religions; as well as Christianity, they incorporated elements from Hinduism, Celtic mythology, and Native American spirituality.[4]
Conversion to Christianity
In February 2017, she was baptized at Kawaihae Beach (Hawaii), by an Anglican (Episcopal) priest, Rev. David Stout from St. James Episcopal Church, where still today the Catholic mass is held. [4] Later that year Virtue publicly announced that she was renouncing her New Age beliefs, and embracing born again Christianity, and encouraged her followers and readers to do the same.[4][2]
Personal life
Virtue has been married five times.[3] She has 2 sons and a daughter. She lives on a 47-acre estate in Hawaii, with her fifth husband Michael and 100 rescue animals.[4]
