By Dr. Stephanie Kidd & Whitney Harvey, RN – Co-Founders of Velvaere Nordic Plunge and Medspa
In today’s fast-paced world, wellness often gets pushed aside. We’re encouraged to push through fatigue, stress, and imbalance—until the symptoms become impossible to ignore. At Velvaere Nordic Plunge and Medspa, we knew there had to be a better way. That’s why we created a place in Fort Wayne where healing is approached with intention, rooted in both science and nature.
“Velvaere” is a Nordic word meaning well-being—and that’s exactly what we aim to cultivate: a calm, nurturing space for wellness where clients feel supported, empowered, and truly cared for.
Our Story: From Clinical Care to Whole-Person Wellness
With a background in emergency medicine, I’ve seen firsthand how traditional healthcare can sometimes fall short—especially when it comes to prevention, chronic fatigue, or stress-related symptoms. My mother and co-founder, Dr. Stephanie Kidd, a board-certified family medicine physician, has shared that same concern throughout her decades of experience in patient care.

Together, we envisioned something more: a medspa in Fort Wayne that integrates trusted medical practices with natural, therapeutic treatments. A place where clients aren’t rushed, and where every service—whether IV therapy, facials, or weight management support—is designed to treat the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.
Why We’re Different
At Velvaere, we believe healing happens when you treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. We’ve created an environment where you can slow down, reconnect, and receive care that’s truly aligned with your goals.
