Founder, Julie Kane (née Tilley), was born in Bonavista and raised in the close-knit town of Elliston—a small but strong community on the eastern coast in Trinity Bay.
Growing up surrounded by family, friends, and neighbors who looked out for one another, Julie developed a deep respect for community, resilience, and the value of caring for others.
After years of study, training, and experience as a Nurse Practitioner, Julie made the decision to return home. Her goal was clear: to give back to the people and places that shaped her.
Bird Island Wellness is her way of ensuring that local healthcare is accessible, professional, and rooted in the same values of trust and community that Newfoundland families have always shared.
Today, Bird Island Wellness offers hormone replacement therapy, weight loss support, and holistic health care tailored to the needs of Newfoundlanders.
With Julie’s unique perspective as both a local and a health professional, patients know they’re not just receiving care—they’re receiving care from someone who understands their way of life, their community, and their story.
At Bird Island Wellness, you’re never just a number. You’re a neighbor, a friend, and part of the community we serve.
Local roots. Local care. Local wellness.
