Brita Sigourney is a U.S. Ski Team and X Games silver medalist. Joseph Collins plays for the New York Jets after earning male athlete of the year at Weber State. Michael Avila was signed by the Carolina Panthers last season after huge careers at Seaside High and San Jose State. Each of them turns to Gaily to keep them competitive, but it’s not the big star pro athletes that define the Carmel Valley native’s practice, it’s the small things: the clear tableside communication, the easy-to-read health and wellness emails, the smooth adjustment mechanics, the sweetheart supporting cast and the freshly baked macadamia-nut cookies on the counter.
