About Katie Walker · Licensed Massage Therapist & Henna Artist in Wilmington, NC
nice to meet youThe hands behind Inked Red.
Licensed massage & bodywork therapist, henna artist and professional knot-hunter in downtown Wilmington, NC.
Massage without the stuffy.
I'm Katie, the one-woman show behind Inked Red Massage Therapy. I opened this studio because I wanted a place where massage feels less like a hushed spa ritual and more like a reset button you actually look forward to pressing.
My sessions are built around you: your pressure, your problem spots, your playlist and whether you want to chat or totally zone out. From deep tissue and cupping to prenatal care and hot stone, I blend techniques to get you real, lasting relief. And yes, there are disco balls.
You'll find me in Suite 408 inside The Priestess Collective at 201 N Front St, right in the heart of downtown Wilmington with a view of the Cape Fear River.
What you can count on
Real talk
Tell me what hurts and what you like. I'll tell you what I'm finding and what might help between visits.
Your body, your rules
Pressure, draping, music and conversation are always your call. Speak up any time and I'll adjust.

Good questions
Where exactly are you?
201 N Front St, Suite 408, inside The Priestess Collective, Wilmington, NC 28401.
What should I wear?
Whatever's comfortable. For most massages you'll undress to your comfort level and stay covered with a sheet the whole time. Reflexology is fully clothed.
Which massage should I book?
Want to relax? Zen AF. Stubborn knots? The Knotty List or Suck It Up. One angry spot? The Oh Sh*t Special. Can't decide? The Works covers it all.
Is prenatal massage safe?
Yes. Womb Service uses pregnancy-safe positioning with plenty of pillows and gentle, supportive techniques. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, check with your provider first.
Do you do henna for events?
Absolutely. Send a DM on Instagram @inked_red_massagetherapy with your date, location and guest count and I'll get back to you.
