“JoAnn’s Reiki sessions have become an integral part of my self-care routine. The experience is so welcoming and serene, and I always leave with a deep sense of calm and peace. Her insights during our sessions have also been invaluable in my spiritual life journey. One session in particular for Cell Memory Technique was life changing. It allowed me to release an inner fear that was intertwined in my life for as long as I could remember but I never understood its source to heal it. After that session I felt like the weight of the world was released. Everything I experienced after was clearer and more vivid. I could move forward in life with a sense of strength and peace that had always eluded me in the past. After each Reiki session, I feel I’ve elevated to another level of understanding and inner knowing, while feeling deeply connected and rooted. The impacts last far beyond the sessions themselves and she offers words of wisdom and tools to help you achieve similar positive experiences on your own. The experience is truly a merging of the mind, body and spirit, a window into our true whole being and a reminder of how to create alignment in a world that often feels deeply disconnected. I would highly recommend anyone experiencing physical or emotional pain or even just someone struggling to maintain balance within everyday life, to schedule a Reiki session with JoAnn or join the monthly writing mini retreats to connect with other like-minded souls for a fun, positive sharing session where we learn about others and ourselves.” – AG, Finance Manager
“JoAnn is a gifted healer. I went to her 9 years ago after dealing with medical issues that were difficult to understand. I had tried everything except Reiki. In the first session I knew something special was happening. She had insights that were amazing, and I could feel the calmness in my body. I knew healing was taking place on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. After a few sessions, I decided to take the first Reiki class and I was hooked. She is a wonderful teacher (so much so, that I took all three levels with her). JoAnn is truly connected with the divine realm and brings guidance, healing and love into her work. I highly recommend JoAnn.” – MA, Retired Teacher, Energy Healing Practitioner
“I first met JoAnn in 2018 through her twice monthly Reiki Shares group. The Shares proved to be a wonderful way for me to practice feeling and running energy with a group. We’ve continued meeting on Zoom since 2020 when JoAnn seamlessly transitioned to digital. The energy continues to be strong and powerful along with the insights, connections and healings. I’ve also been enjoying JoAnn’s Monthly Writing Groups where we pull from various card decks, enjoy guided meditations and compose automatic writing both for ourselves and each other. We are all always consistently delighted and inspired by what develops from each and every session. JoAnn is a gifted healer/creative facilitator and I highly recommend any of her offerings at Turning Point Reiki.” – G.M., Artist
“Through the past ten years, Turning Point Reiki has been a Godsend for me during the Reiki sessions with JoAnn Inserra. During times of severe back pain, she was able to discern the problem both physically and emotionally. Turning Point Reiki offers comfort, healing, understanding, support, and empowerment.” – N.B.
“I recently visited JoAnn for Reiki, with an intention to heal childhood trauma. As an energy worker myself, I have great respect for JoAnn and her ability to connect to and follow her guidance. My session was peaceful yet dynamic. JoAnn offered me potent symbols for healing that I still use to this day.” – E.K.
“I have been receiving Reiki treatments from JoAnn for many years. She has helped me through cancer, back pain and energy blockages. JoAnn is a beautiful combination of intelligence, compassion and spiritual gifts. Treatment sessions with JoAnn are life changing!” – C.H.
“In 2015 I needed to find a new Reiki practitioner as mine had moved out of the area. From my first appointment with JoAnn I knew I had found the right person. After my sessions with her I always felt more grounded and spiritually centered. I am a Reiki practitioner and also joined her once a month Reiki shares and found a wonderful community of healers. I moved to Massachusetts in 2017 and I hadn’t been able to find anyone that I felt could equal JoAnn. I had continued getting her monthly newsletter and in 2020 I realized she was offering Long Distance Reiki sessions remotely and also on zoom. So my journey with JoAnn continues. The insightful messages she receives during the sessions are very healing and powerful and I know they have helped me to grow and heal on many levels. I am very grateful for the work that JoAnn does and feel fortunate to have found her.” – N.K
“Just a friendly reminder that you have been an incredible light in my life in offering your gifts of healing and compassion. Working with you has made me a better person, a better therapist, and has allowed me to heal and grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. Thank you for being your awesome self, I am so blessed to know you. Always grateful for you.” – MM Therapist
“I highly recommend working with JoAnn at Turning Point Reiki. There are many reiki practitioners, but not many that have the ability to truly channel transformative healing energy in the way JoAnn’s gifts can provide. In each session that I have had, I experience a profound healing that is all encompassing with powerful love and light.” – A.S.
Teacher/Class Testimonials
“Deana and JoAnn, What a great Spirit Guides Workshop this afternoon. From the guided meditations to the attunement finale – wow! You are a powerful duo! Thanks for helping us all rise higher and get the help we need along the way.” –C.H., Teacher
“I just wanted to say thank you for an uplifting and relaxing learning experience in your Reiki I class. After my attunement, I felt/saw a warm blanket was wrapped around me. It was such a comforting experience. I had a nice, deep sleep the night of the class too. It was a pleasure meeting you.” DK
“I feel so blessed and privileged to have met you. It’s not a coincidence that of all the Reiki teachers in the world, I found you! Thank you for all of your guidance and teachings through this process. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be at a class like I was today. Like the Tarot Card, The Heirophant, when the student is ready, the teacher appears, I just did not know I was ready!” MD, Teacher
“JoAnn Inserra’s Reiki level I class is a life changing experience not to be missed out on. She gives you the foundation and basic skills to practice this profound healing technique. It has been a joy and a privilege to learn from such a knowledgeable teacher and I look forward to taking further classes.” CAH, Retired Teacher
“Amazing is the word I think of to describe JoAnn Inserra. I was recommended to her by Anna Raimondi…….need I say more? JoAnn is a gifted and compassionate healer. I have had several Reiki sessions with her and am releasing what no longer serves me layer by layer. I was intrigued enough to sign up for the Reiki Level 1 Class. It was by far, the most moving experience I have ever had.” MD, Teacher
“Master JoAnn Inserra has a bounty of gifts, including but not limited to her foresight, positive energy, glowing accountability, professionalism, and accuracy. I was privileged to attain my Reiki Level II certification recently through one of her weekend workshops. I appreciate Master JoAnn’s grace and joyful personality. I will continue on my path learning more healing modalities with her.” BB, Intuitive Coach
“I want to express my gratitude for everything surrounding my Reiki Level I class including sharing with us the keys to Reiki with such clarity and ease. Although I left in a hurry, I left with a confidence that I knew how to use the energy to heal myself and, in time, others. You are a wonderful teacher. Very often, when discussing spiritual practices with the few mentors I’ve come to know, they tend to get their ideas all jumbled up. This work is very difficult to explain gracefully, but you have such a mastery of it. I’ve started a journal to record my daily Reiki practices and three things I’m grateful for, and yesterday you came up very quickly. “I’m grateful for JoAnn Inserra, because she opened my eyes to the power of Reiki, and did so with ceaseless generosity.” I intend to continue down this path as a Reiki practitioner, hopefully to become a master one day. I hope that I continue to learn and grow under JoAnn’s guidance.” ~SM, Student
“I woke up this morning, after the Reiki Level II class yesterday, and everything was different. I was calm, at peace and had an inner sense that all is good. I have an awareness that I did not have before, it’s almost an urgency to share my gift of beautiful energy. I used the CHO KU REI symbol in my cubicle and there is such goodness I can’t quite explain it. I thank you for yesterday, it was an incredible day. A colleague told me this morning that there was something different about me, she could see I was not stressed and radiated inner peace. I feel so wonderful that I never ever want to go back to the stressful, ungrounded mess that I was. I see the light and I see there was a reason you and I have come together.” ~JG, Scientist, Case Mgr
“I believe that Reiki is a different experience for everyone. I took all my class levels with JoAnn and attended numerous Reiki shares. One of the best things about all the time spent with her was that I could always feel safe and able to share without judgment. I was also able to bring other metaphysical ideas into discussions and they were always welcome.” -MS, Website Designer, Reiki Master
“Thank you so much for guiding me into Reiki I. I thought the Reiki Level I class was simply beautiful. I think you do a wonderful job as a teacher and I look forward to seeing you in the future and taking Reiki Level II.” -KC, Director of Registration and Student Financials
“JoAnn is not only a great teacher but a gifted healer. I had exhausted all modern medicine avenues only to find that JoAnn could help me resolve my physical/emotional pain almost immediately. What may have taken years for doctors and therapists to heal she did quickly and effectively and most importantly respectfully!!! On top of that she also gave me the tools with the Reiki training to help me to learn to heal myself. A tool that all beings need to learn and know. I cannot recommend her enough to people who need healing.”. -DD, Antiques and Consignment Store Owner
“I had the privilege of attending both Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 with JoAnn, she’s very patient, caring and very knowledgeable, I would not have it any other way. I can’t wait to become a Master Reiki Practitioner under her tutelage. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of Teaching or Healing.”-JP, Green Home Services
“JoAnn is a highly gifted Reiki Master and teacher. I feel fortunate to have taken all my Reiki training from her, and I continue to deepen my practice through her Reiki shares. As a practitioner, JoAnn is unsurpassed.” -LL, Health & Wellness Counselor
“Reiki classes have given me a wonderful tool for healing that I use every day for myself, family and friends.” -IT, LaLeche League Leader

I have benefited tremendously from my Reiki experience and continue to practice on myself, friends and family. It’s a wonderful tool for keeping us healthy and happy. I highly recommend it!” -EK, Office Manager, Reiki Master
Healing Sessions Testimonials
“JoAnn, I’ve been thinking of you and want to thank you for your courage, compassion and integrity as a practitioner. The healing support and information you shared with me during our sessions began what has been a deep dive into awakening and now ever expanding awareness of knowing Who I Really Am. Your caution for protection and discernment in working with other practitioners and what situations and settings may not be best for me was invaluable information that I was not always able to integrate at the time. However, in recent weeks in particular, it has come to light how imperative these principles really are and I am now on a Peaceful Warrior path to becoming a truly sovereign being. I am forever grateful to have met you and for the path it set me on there after.” ~KM Holistic Health Coach
“I have been struggling with chronic back issues due to an injury I suffered over 2 years ago. I have received lots of physical therapy, but nothing made me feel as realigned as my session with JoAnn. After her working on my lower back I felt pain-free and energized, more than any time since my injury. Thank you dear, so much!!” YM, Therapist
“I must tell you that the Reiki session last week was life changing for me. Firstly, my back pain has lessened significantly. Secondly, I have more energy, and feel lightened emotionally. Now, if thoughts of my son come up (which they do often), I feel that things are going to be OK, instead of worrying. I feel that working with Mother Mary has been very healing for me. Thank you so much for your healing work!” NB Teacher
“My deepest gratitude for a beautiful Reiki session which gave me so much
valuable information and confirmations. I love your insights and feel restored. I am fascinated by your ability to feel things.” LF Reiki Master & Intuitive
“No one deserves success more than you. Not only did you try everything in your power to save your own marriage, you maintained your decency and dignity throughout, you DID all the enormously hard work to grow yourself, but the truly extraordinary, remarkable part is how many, many people you have managed to help heal along the way. Sometimes I swear I see the outline of your wings!” JM, Liaison/Advocate
“I want to thank you for the wonderful Reiki session today, which helped me tremendously. For the first time in weeks, I finally feel like I have some perspective on my emotional health, and the anxiety I’ve been experiencing feels so much less right now. Your intuition and guidance on so many things were right on, enabling me to see the whole picture and understand what is necessary for me to heal and move forward. I feel such a sense of peace and renewed resolve after our session.” CF, Retired
“I had a recent experience that was plugging Into a lot of emotions from my past. I had one reiki session with JoAnn and it helped me to “let go” so I could function in my day to day life without crying throughout the day. I had been to talk therapy many times before and I felt the relief I got was equivalent to six to eight sessions of talk therapy…all in one reiki session! I returned three weeks later to JoAnn thinking I would just go for a “tune up” and was floored when the second reiki session was even more powerful than the first. Not only did I get back to functioning and being present but I was also able to really dig up and let go of my past hurts that I had been carrying around for over twenty years! I went on for a third session and feel as though the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. I truly am happier and feel tremendously less stressed as a result of these reiki sessions. I will forever be thankful to JoAnn for helping me. It’s as if I am starting anew. It feels great!” L.S.
“Help in recovery from TOXIC family trauma is offered at Turning Point Reiki. With help & guidance from above, JoAnn skillfully attunes herself to the messages and energy sent from the angels and guides to heal the layers of our being that have been assaulted by harsh negative emotions, actions and behaviors. She is the reason I am starting to heal and Turning Point Reiki is exactly what is promised. JoAnn’s energy is divinely guided and I have healed more in the last year working with JoAnn than in the last 9 years, that is something to say.” CB, College Administrator
“I have been thinking a lot about you and some really interesting things have happened in my life that you received messages about in our sessions. I started to let things go. I had physical traumas in areas you said that I was working my body too hard. I was placing my emotional pain into all of this physical activity and finally I could not do it anymore, doctor’s orders. I tried to forgive and be at peace with things. I know you said that my heart chakra was blocked – and it was because of un-forgiveness. At that time I told you I don’t think I could ever get over that. It was just too hard. However, my middle sister reached out to me a few months ago and we have reconciled. I was able write a letter to my younger sister saying no matter what had transpired between us (for which I was very sorry) that this was more important. That’s it. I did it. It’s like a huge weight was lifted and I can’t explain it – but I feel calm. So, thank you JoAnn, even if it took me almost 9 months to do what you suggested to help me on my healing journey. Thank you.” ~SB, Medical Specialist
“When I was in the states visiting, the sessions of Reiki healing I had with JoAnn have resulted in my voice being free to speak with clarity and mental freedom. Such a relief when I want to express myself and find I have the flow of my words to do so. As well, JoAnn has helped me by being the catalyst for me to trust the path I am on to becoming a healer and I pray to always remain open to being informed and directed by spiritual guidance.” -SH, Homemaker, Australia

“Since you did Reiki on Duchess (our scared, shy rescue cat), she has been noticeably transformed to becoming more affectionate and comfortable to be with. She is much calmer. She and the other cats are still figuring things out, but she seems more centered in herself.” -JC, Architect & JL, Owner, Manager
“JoAnn helped me when no one else seemed able to. I had given up on traditional physicians. Her incredible sensitivity and safe atmosphere helped to heal emotional and physical pain from PTSD. Thank God I stumbled upon her. My sessions with her have been life changing and have helped me assimilate both emotional and physical healing. I recommend her to anyone wanting relief and an understanding of things unknown.” -DD, homemaker
“I have lived with chronic pain and symptoms of fibromyalgia for years. Because of my Reiki sessions with JoAnn, I can turn my neck almost to my shoulders. I cannot remember when I could turn that easily to the right. It boggles my mind, and yet makes perfect sense to me, how getting rid of old emotional traumas that were stuck in my neck could release my muscles. Thank you, JoAnn.” -EP, Retail sales
“At the time I went to my first session with JoAnn, I was in severe pain and in constant exhaustion due to Fibromyalgia and I was clinically depressed. I was taking antidepressants and pain killers on a daily basis. After the first session, I started to have more energy. Eventually, I was able to stop taking the anti-depressants and the pain killers. I still see JoAnn occasionally for a session and I even took Reiki Level I and II with her so I can do it for myself and my family. It has been two years since my first Reiki session with JoAnn and I still feel “Fibromyalgia” free.”
-TN, Admin assistant
“During my second pregnancy, I got what the doctor called ‘superficial hematoma’ in the varicose veins in my right leg. This is scabbing on the inside of the veins and was like having rocks under my skin – very painful. I had a wonderful Reiki session with JoAnn in which she focused specifically on the scabbed area and I had an amazing healing experience. Today – the scabs are gone – no more ‘rocks’ and I am pain-free! I know this is a direct result of the Reiki. Thank you so much JoAnn!!”-EK, Office Manager & Reiki Master
“I truly believe that without my Reiki sessions with JoAnn Inserra, I could not have survived the chemotherapy and done as well battling cancer as I have. I believe in universal energy and know instinctively and physically that Reiki works.”
-GE, Editor
“JoAnn provides a safe, professional and caring atmosphere for her Reiki Sessions. JoAnn has the unique gift of getting to the “core” of an issue whether it is something physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

And she does this with insight, grace and a deep spiritual connection.”-DP, Massage Therapist

-BP, Writer, Homemaker
“The sessions and Reiki Level I class have led me to a more spiritual path than I thought I’d ever be on! I have total confidence now that it’s not a “church community” that I need to continue developing as a spiritual person. Reiki speaks not only to my soul, but also to my physical and emotional being as well.” -BP, Writer, Homemaker
“As a Health and Wellness Counselor, I teach a variety of mind/body skills which empower my clients to better care for themselves. In my own personal care, I use Reiki more than anything else for physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.

Her suggestions at the end of the session help continue the healing and self-care and sustain me for a long time.” -FE, Kripalu Yoga Instructor

Reiki Shares Testimonials
“At JoAnn’s Reiki Share in March 2017, JoAnn and the Reiki Share members ‘unlocked’ my back! For the last several years, the soft tissue surrounding the thoracic vertebrae in the middle of my back was ‘locked up’, causing me pain and a lack of mobility in my entire back, shoulders and neck. I had been going to a chiropractor for over a year, and even though my chiropractor is excellent, she was unable to unlock the middle of my back. JoAnn recognized that while the problem with my back was manifesting on the physical level, the root of the problem was on the mental level. So she used Reiki, along with an Integrated Energy Therapy® technique, to pull the locked energy out of my back. Voila! My back has been unlocked ever since, and my chiropractor is amazed at how much better my back is. All of the kudos for this miraculous result go to JoAnn and her Reiki Share. Thanks, JoAnn!” JS, Data Analyst
“Thank you for creating a safe environment at Reiki Shares, to give and receive messages. It has helped me to be more aware of messages from Spirit, but more importantly to be more comfortable sharing them with others when prompted to. I really am so grateful for you being in my life and for the work that you do.”
