In an attempt to understand others and to learn how to future-proof herself against life's vicissitudes, Roberta Vernon began studying palmistry and various forms of fortune telling, while also developing her own psychic gifts. She took an interest in chakra healing while working as a palmist. Like many who have experienced deep unhappiness, she was always more interested in healing her clients' emotional misery than their health issues. However, after spending over four decades working with people in the mind, body, and spirit field, she understands energy healing of all kinds, including how to mend battered and misaligned chakras, which can help to heal common ailments. She is the author of two books in the In Focus series: In Focus Chakra Healing and In Focus Palmistry.
