Julie Pelly, Marketing & Administration
Julie grew up in Vancouver, BC where she attended York House School and then went on to complete her post-secondary degree at McGill University and Simon Fraser University. From a young age, her favourite activities were figure skating and the performing arts, taking the stage in musicals and drama productions at York House, Saint George’s and McGill University.
In her young adult years, Julie developed a love for running, and has completed a variety of races from 10km to Marathon distance. She’s also proud to have conquered the gruelling “Seek the Peak” race from Ambleside Beach to the Peak of Grouse Mountain – a North Vancouverite “must do”. Coincidentally, Julie met her husband Tod shortly before running the Las Vegas Marathon in 2010. At the time she was struggling with a recurring issue with her pelvis due to her extensive training load. After starting regular adjustments with Dr. Pelly, she was able to run pain-free for the first time in months. In recent years, Julie has completed 4 of the 6 Abbott World Major Marathons, including the Boston Marathon.
Julie has spent her professional years working in the world of Communications, Marketing and Public Relations. A career highlight was the five years she spent working for eBay Inc., managing worldwide communication programs implemented throughout the global offices which housed over 10,000 employees. More recently Julie has been working in Corporate Communications in the Mining Industry, concurrently while volunteering on a couple local not-for-profits boards, and her most important role, as mom to her and Dr. Pelly’s children, Reid and Kasey.
Since moving to North Vancouver in 2011, Julie has come to fall in love with “the best place on earth” and wholeheartedly feels that the North Shore is where her heart is. She is grateful for the warm community and surrounding beauty, and feels fortunate to have the opportunity to both support the wonderful team at the Pelly Clinic, as well as meet the many amazing patients that come through the clinic’s doors every day.
