Conjugate paths have free homotopic circle representations?

Is this statement true?

In a path connected space $X$, conjugate elements of $\pi_1(X,p)$ have free homotopic circle representations.

This is related to my other question here. Basically, I am trying to show that mapping a representative of a conjugacy class to the homotopy class of its circle representative is a well-defined map.
