Vibration Magazine's co-editor, Donna Cunningham has a master's degree in social work from Columbia University and 35 years of counseling people through a variety of modalities. A professional astrologer since 1970, she is internationally recognized for her lectures, seminars, and writings. She has written thirteen books and is the featured advice columnist for Dell Horoscope Magazine.

In the early 1980s, she began searching for healing tools to help her clients heal better and quickly found the flower essences. In the intervening years, she has given many seminars about the remedies and written the Flower Remedies Handbook, published by Sterling Press. She has edited three flower remedy journals--Shooting Star, CASE Reports, and Vibration. To reach her for an astrological consultation, visit her web site or send her email.

According to frequent Vibration contributor Joyce Mason,

... "Donna has blended astrology and the essences for over 20 years and written about the remedies in at least five of her books. She makes them, she knows them, she loves them, and as an astrologer, she has observed firsthand how they soothe the more difficult cycles of life. Best of all, she has the ability to bring difficult concepts into easy-to-get language and has become an amazingly talented graphic artist. The Net is her best medium ever! She knows not only the content in depth, but she has the talent to communicate the information in a way that brings it right into heart and mind."

"Vibration would be but a shadow of itself without Donna's continued presence. The fun of learning, writing, editing, and playing together to create this publication helps make it such a joy for me. And I am sure this quality comes through to our readers."
