Nicole Gainey L.M.P.

Nicole Gainey L.M.P. began her adventure in complementary medicine in 1991 when she graduated from the Seattle Massage School.

After working in a variety of venues,(a sports club, a salon and an onsite massage co-op) she opened her own business, Checkpoint Massage Therapy in 1993. Checkpoint grew into a successful injury clinic, specializing in motor vehicle accidents and repetitive strain injuries.

From 2004 to 2006, Nicole had the chance to travel to China, SE Asia and Hawaii. She studied Tuina (Chinese massage therapy), and spent time doing medical massage in a hospital in Shanghai. She studied Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. Particularly rewarding and informing were the hundreds of massages she received while in Asia. She came to appreciate the powerful role of aromatherapy, using it successfully to combat stress, jet lag and myriad of environmental challenges.

She brings this extensive experience and education to Chill Massage Therapy and Modern Apothecary, which she opened in West Seattle in 2007. A firm believer and advocate of the power of massage, she is available for free phone consultations to find the best therapist and treatment to meet your current body work needs.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you find the best way to meet your bodywork needs.
