The purpose of that particular phrase is to bear no ill will or malice towards your enemies, which is a basic tenet of Christian faith. What she's saying is that if you were to wrong her in some way, she would most likely forgive you and give you a chance to redeem yourself... or hurt her again.

Respond meekly or mildly to insult or injury without retaliating. For example, There's no point in arguing with that unreasonable supervisor; just turn the other cheek. This expression comes from the New Testament, in which Jesus tells his followers to love their enemies and offer their other cheek to those who have struck one cheek (Luke 6:29).
