About Us

We help clients manage pain and chronic tissue issues by promoting self-awareness and self-care.
The Bull City Soles vision is to provide a collective of exceptionally well trained, and compassionate barefoot massage therapists to assist clients dealing with chronic pain and injury.
​
Hello, I’m Julie Hunt Marciniak, a dedicated bodyworker with 32 years of experience and the owner of Bull City Soles.
​
For over two decades, I honed my craft as a solo therapist, later expanding my vision to create a space where skilled massage therapists could thrive. Bull City Soles has since evolved into a collective of independent professionals, offering therapeutic services to help clients find relief and recovery through innovative bodywork techniques.
​
My faith and belief in the power of touch continue to inspire my journey. I view my work as a calling—using the gifts of mercy and skilled touch to address what I lovingly call “tissue issues.”
​
Beyond hands-on work, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring massage therapists. Through my role as an instructor at NC Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, I guide therapists to refine their skills and grow in confidence. Whether it’s helping them master barefoot massage techniques or supporting them as independent practitioners, my goal is to nurture their potential and advance their careers.
​
Bull City Soles is more than a massage practice—it’s a community dedicated to healing, learning, and growth, both for our clients and the professionals who serve them.
