NC ESTHETICIAN #28897
Coming all way from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, I moved to Wilmington continuing my love for skin. I have been practicing my love for skin care for 5 years now, and I am passionate about all things skin. I love bringing a mix of relaxation, and effectiveness to all of my services. Aside from my love for skin I enjoy spending time with my dogs, and being at the beach. I can’t wait to help everyone feel as beautiful as possible that comes my way !
JUSTIN WHISONANT
NC LMBT #20808
Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Upstate New York, I ventured to the vibrant city of Wilmington, North Carolina, where I have called home for the past six years. My journey in the beauty and wellness industry began as a skilled nail technician, a path I dedicated myself to for five fulfilling years. However, my passion for holistic healing blossomed, leading me to transition into the realm of massage therapy four years ago. With a strong foundation in nail care and a newfound love for massage therapy, I am committed to providing my clients with a nurturing and rejuvenating experience, embodying the essence of well-rounded care and relaxation.

With nearly 10 years of experience in bodywork and holistic care, I bring a deeply intuitive and personalized approach to every session. Recently relocated to the East Coast, I’m excited to connect with a new community and share the healing work I love! Past clients would say I have a naturally deep touch and a knack for deep relaxation. Whether you need to unwind, un-knot, or just escape reality for a bit.. I’ve got you!

KATIE GUTHRIE
OWNER, SPA DIRECTOR
Katie and her husband Greg have been owners of Island Retreat Spa on Bald Head Island, NC since early 2016. Now a multi-service spa, salon, fitness and wellness center, Island Retreat is thriving.
Katie's desire to grow and lead her team through the seasonal slumps of an island-based resort community drew her to create a unique offering for her staff to offer their talents year-round on the mainland.
Inspired by her morning travels via ferry and the peaceful essence of being a seafarer, the idea for Seaward was born.
