My name is Jill and I have completed a Diploma of Remedial 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 a
part of the growing number of professional LifeWell care practitioners, complimenting the services that they already provide.
Massage is the systematic manipulation of soft body tissue. It has been used for thousands of years for relaxation and to restore and promote the good health of body, mind and spirit. Massage releases chronic tension and pain in muscles,
improves circulation, increases flexibility in the joints, and reduces mental and physical fatigue.
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.
