Doreen Virtue PhD is a prolific New Age author with many books, products and workshops on angels and angel-oriented therapy. She has produced several oracle card sets, including ones focused on angels, fairies, goddesses, and dolphins. These oracle cards differ from traditional Tarot in that each card has an angel depiction instead of the four suits of the Tarot.

With her Angel oracle cards, each card represents a positive thought or belief; there are no negative cards. She has also written books on the Indigo Children idea, as well as on the Crystal Children idea.

Before she became involved in metaphysics, she was the founder and former director of WomanKind Psychiatric Hospital at Cumberland Hall Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, and she served as an administrator at Woodside Women’s Hospital in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both all-women psychiatric hospitals specialized in treating women's psychological issues. She also directed three outpatient psychiatric centers, including an adolescent drug & alcohol abuse center.

She publishes a large number of books and audio tapes through Hay House publishers, one of the largest metaphysical publishing houses created by author Louise Hay. Virtue's healing work is similar to that of others such as Esther Hicks and Ken Page, both of whom she has spoken highly of.
