A Personal Welcome
We’re so glad you’re here. When we first dreamed of Velvaere Nordic Plunge and Medspa, our hope wasn’t just to create a place for treatments—it was to create a community. A place where you can slow down, be seen, and receive care that goes deeper than skin level.
That’s why we’re starting this blog and our weekly newsletter: to share knowledge, encouragement, and wellness tools that extend beyond our spa doors. Whether you’re here for skincare, IV therapy, weight management, massage, or simply inspiration for healthier living, this space is for you.
The Heart Behind Velvaere
The word Velvære means “well-being” in Norwegian, and it reflects both our roots and our philosophy. Our medspa was born from a simple but powerful vision: to help people restore balance in a world that constantly pulls them away from it.
As a nurse and physician team—and as mother and daughter—we’ve seen firsthand how rushed healthcare can leave people feeling unseen. We wanted to create something different: a place that blends medical knowledge with holistic care, science with nature, and treatment with true connection.
At Velvaere, wellness isn’t about chasing perfection or quick fixes. It’s about healing, restoring, and caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
What you'll find at Velvaere
Relaxation Massage

What You’ll Find Here (on the Blog + Newsletter)
Through this blog (and our new weekly newsletter), we’ll share:
Wellness education → breaking down IV therapy, nutrition, skincare, and weight management in simple, practical ways.
Behind-the-scenes → insights into our treatments, the products we trust, and the philosophy that guides our care.
Practical tips → from everyday self-care rituals to seasonal health reminders.
Stories & encouragement → because wellness is a journey, and none of us are walking it alone.
Join the Journey
Our hope is that this blog becomes more than a resource—it becomes a touchpoint for encouragement and inspiration each week.
If you’re new here, welcome! We’d love for you to join our community by subscribing to our newsletter. Each week, you’ll get a fresh post delivered to your inbox along with practical takeaways and updates from our team.
And if you’ve been with us for a while—thank you. You’re the reason we’re here.
Velvaere isn’t just our business. It’s our calling to serve, to bring care back into healthcare, and to remind people that wellness can be both natural and deeply personal. We can’t wait to walk this journey with you.
With gratitude,
Dr. Stephanie Kidd & Whitney Harvey
