About Us
Bull City Soles is a collaborative group of independent practitioners focused on long-term, whole-body health. For clients, we offer Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, Rolfing® Structural Integration, and private Sauna + Cold Plunge. For massage therapists, we host small-group barefoot massage classes.
We bring independent practitioners together under one roof to deliver specialized bodywork, Rolfing® Structural Integration, and recovery services that support long-term, whole-body health.
Therapeutic bodywork plus private Infrared Sauna & Cold Plunge (contrast therapy) to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and extend results between sessions.
Bull City Soles is a collaborative collective of exceptionally trained, compassionate practitioners offering Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and Rolfing® Structural Integration combined with Infrared Sauna & Cold Plunge. We work independently yet are aligned around shared standards of care. We aim to help clients addressing chronic pain, injury, and performance needs build resilience through skilled sessions, practical self-care education, and accessible recovery tools.

Julie began her bodywork career in 1992 after graduating from the Carolina School of Massage Therapy. After a decade of deep tissue work, she began searching for a more sustainable way to work, physically and professionally, which led her to Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage in 2002.
​
As her practice evolved, so did her questions. She became increasingly curious about how to create long-term change for clients rather than offering temporary relief. That curiosity ultimately led her to Rolfing® Structural Integration in 2005.
​
Over time, her work has shifted from session-based symptom relief to a more intentional, series-based approach centered on awareness, participation, and lasting structural change. Today, Julie offers the Rolfing® Structural Integration 10 Series as the foundation of her practice, along with maintenance bodywork to support continued integration.
​
In addition to her clinical work, Julie serves as a quiet mentor within the barefoot massage community and founded NC Barefoot Massage (formerly NC Ashiatsu), where she provides continuing education for licensed massage therapists under the Center for Barefoot Massage umbrella.
​
Rolfing® Structural Integration is currently available for online booking. Because Julie prefers to work with clients through the full 10 Series, availability may occasionally shift to a waitlist during busier seasons.
