Our Mission

At Velvære, our mission is to make wellness feel natural, intuitive, and deeply human.

Inspired by the Nordic belief
“liver beste ute” living is best outside,
we honor the idea that true health begins with the basics—real nourishment, fresh air, sunlight, movement, and resting the body and mind.

We focus on addressing root causes first, empowering individuals and families to build resilience through simple, sustainable choices.
 

Velvære Wellness Collective is dedicated to bringing innovative wellness and longevity tools to the Sauk Valley community and providing a singular location for a variety of professionals trained to enhance your wellbeing.

We provide a space where individuals can explore proactive approaches to health, challenge conventional thinking, and reconnect with their body’s natural capacity to heal and thrive.

for the years ahead.

The vision behind Velvaere

Dr. Lauren Gaffey is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and received her Bachelor of Science degree from Augustana College. 

After graduation from Palmer College, Dr. Lauren established a chiropractic practice in Boulder, Colorado specializing in athletes and treated several world class professional triathletes, rock climbers, road bikers, and crossfitters as well as weekend warriors and everyone in between.

Colorado is where she felt like she became a creature of the culture and her interest in “biohacking” began.
