ISD Oneonta offers a strenuous program of study, experience, and mentorship to become qualified to be a Certified Healer in any of the Institute for Spiritual Development Centers in the U.S.   Our Healing Certification Program was put together by Rev. Diana Friedell and Reiki Master Healer Jackie Madden, in consultation with ISD- Sparta and ISD- Washington,DC. Our Energy Healers serve as chair healers in the first Church Service of every month,  

Our first certified Energy Healers were "Sanctioned" after having challenged and met the standards of the Healing Certification Program, by having years of study & experience in their own healing practice.

Diane M Foster

Master Energy Worker

Sanctioned Healer at the Institute for Spiritual Development



Diane is certified as a Master Practitioner in both Usui and Karuna Reiki® and has also obtained her certification as an Integrated Energy Therapy® Master Instructor. She has studied Jin Shin Jyutsu® and is also a certified Metatronic Healing® Practitioner. She is a member of both the International Association of Reiki Professionals® and the Association of Professional Metatronic Healers. She is also an Ordained Minister.

Through receiving Master Attunements in the various disciplines of energy, Diane has developed a Signature Energy Session utilizing all modalities she has studied. This allows her to intuitively feel and remove energy blocks within a client’s energy field, feel and realign energy flows that are out of alignment as well as to see their energy pattern (SoulDNA).

Each session is unique to every client as she connects with their spirit guides, angels, ascended masters, totem animals, past lives and more for the healing of their whole being.

Her philosophy is a simple one...

“To do all things for the highest and greatest good of all, and to try to balance my human ego with my spiritual self so they are in harmony. These things I strive for each and every day.”

JoAnn Wormuth
Jo Ann experienced a dream visitation by Archangel Gabriel while recovering from a life-threatening illness in 2014.  She came to understand that this visitation was her calling by God to use her gifts as a “Lightworker” to help humanity on Earth.  JoAnn began a path to become an Energy Healer by completing Eden Energy Medicine Foundations.   She is now a Reiki Master Level Practitioner and an Integrated Energy Therapy® Master-Instructor.  She is also a Sanctioned Healer with the Oneonta Chapter of the Institute for Spiritual Development. In all her practices and teachings, she strives to impart that true health is a balance of physical, mental and spiritual bodies.  She is a sanctioned healer with the Institute for Spiritual Development in Oneonta, NY where she participates in the Sunday "healing chairs" once a month as a volunteer.


Alexandra Sutton-Pyle:  If you know Ally, you know you are working with one of God's Angels of healing.  While working as an EMT, Ally witnessed the spirit of a young child leave his body following a tragic accident at a parade.  The shock of that experience opened Ally up to a spiritual calling to heal others, and so she began her training.  15 years as an EMT and Nurse, plus training as a Reiki Master AND an Integrated Energy Therapy Master-Instructor developed her profound gifts.  Ally also discovered her abilities to see and feel intuitively, and uses that gift to inform her healing gifts. She is a certified "Fairyologist" through the Doreen Virtue program, and also regularly attends advanced trainings at Lily Dale. She is a sanctioned healer with the Institute for Spiritual Development in Oneonta, NY where she participates in the Sunday "healing chairs" once a month as a volunteer.  Working with Ally is a profound experience you won't soon forget.
