Dr. Katie Steele

I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Vaida Wellness! Born and raised in Minnetonka, it’s truly special to serve the community that I’ve always called home. Growing up in a chiropractic family, I was fortunate to experience the benefits of holistic care from an early age, which sparked my passion for addressing the whole body through natural, integrative approaches.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and graduated Magna Cum Laude with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University. My lifelong interests in fitness and nutrition inspired me to pursue additional training in applied kinesiology, functional medicine, and clinical nutrition.

My approach to patient care is grounded in functional medicine, focusing on the body as a whole. I combine chiropractic care with movement, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to support healing, performance, and long-term wellness. As a former competitive gymnast and athlete, I especially enjoy working with teenage athletes, active young adults, and busy moms who are looking for proactive, natural ways to support their health. I’m also pursuing certifications as a personal trainer and health coach.

Outside the clinic, I love staying active and being outdoors! You’ll often find me lifting weights, going for walks with my dog, spending time on the lake, or exploring the shops of Excelsior and Wayzata. I also enjoy cooking and sharing new healthy recipes, as well as watching all sports, especially football.
