Our Practitioners
Janet Burford
Counsellor
Janet became interested in counselling while involved and facilitating groups, and having encountered in her personal experience, the need and value of having a safe space to be able to share vulnerabilities and fears without judgement. As a result, Janet is passionate about being a listening witness and speaking to the struggles as well as the strengths of people as they work through painful human experiences.
Janet believes that transformation can take place when one has truly embraced those aspects of being human that make us feel vulnerable and when one begins to assimilate self-compassion for those hurting parts. In her experience, the very act of witnessing and embracing the common realities and paradoxes of authentic humanity can be a powerful endorsement for self-compassion. Where it is important to the client, Janet also welcomes counselling that integrates the client’s spirituality.
Janet has a great deal of experience working with people in various domains, more recently, working from Lifewell using the consulting rooms at Gawler. Janet incorporates an integrated approach targeted to specific needs.
Janet has been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Marriage and Relationships with a focus on couples as well as Addictions. Janet’s qualifications are Bachelor of Social Sciences (Counselling) and Graduate Diploma in Counselling with a commitment to professional and personal development through relevant workshops, training and supervision.

Jill Zupanic
Relaxation Massage Therapist
My name is Jill and I have recently completed a Certificate IV in Relaxation Massage through the Evolve College in Norwood, South Australia. I am a registered therapist with The Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS) and I am pleased to be joining the growing number of professional LifeWell practitioners, to compliment the services that they already provide.
Relaxation massage calms and soothes the body by using rhythmic, long, flowing strokes and a gentle touch to help calm your body and mind, allowing you to stop and unwind, performed at the client’s chosen pressure.
Relaxation massage quietens the nervous system and encourages the release of feel-good endorphins; it improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, relaxes muscle tension, reduces pain, helps you get a better night’s sleep, all while promoting general overall well-being.
Touch therapy is an important part of healing the whole person and it is a privilege to provide this service at LifeWell.
I am a passionate mum, wife and LifeWell ambassador. I have been married for over 20 years to my best friend and have three grown children whom I adore.
Fees:
$40 for 30 min treatment
