Meet Jill — bringing Cardio-Pilates to Vital Connections Wellness Center.

Originally from Chadron, Jill got her start in high school through Jazzercise, and even met founder Judy Sheppard-Misset along the way. That spark turned into a career.

Certified since 1986, she’s owned her own fitness business, Aerobix, etc., since 1989 — teaching everything from High-Impact Aerobics to Cardio-Kickboxing to what she teaches now: Cardio-Pilates.

She also spent almost 20 years at Chadron State College, over 10 of those as Director of Health Professions, shaping future healthcare professionals. Getting to be part of that journey with students and their desire to become future healthcare professionals is something she still counts as one of the most rewarding parts of her career.

Outside of teaching, Jill lives at the lake and loves kayaking, boating, hiking, traveling, and cooking. She has two children and two step-children, and together with her husband, nine beautiful grandchildren — with another one on the way!

Jill’s philosophy is simple: movement is essential to a strong body, mind, and spirit — and it should be fun while you’re at it.

Her Cardio-Pilates class blends cardio with core work and toning, built for real results without taking itself too seriously.

Welcome to the team, Jill.

Meet Dr. Bridgette Pudwill — Family Practice doctor, now offering Botox, filler, and laser treatments through Vital Connections.

Dr. Pudwill has a genuine love for rural medicine and the small-town way of life. She lives in Ericson with her husband and two boys, and when she’s not working or keeping up with her cowboys, you’ll find her woodworking, hiking, or at a concert with friends.

With over 14 years of experience caring for patients, she believes strongly in bringing quality services closer to home for small-town folks — no need to drive hours for care that should be local. Her focus isn’t just the treatment itself, it’s how people feel afterward: more comfortable in their body, more confident in their own skin.

She loves seeing people live their best life, and she’s honored to help make that happen, one patient at a time.

Welcome to the team, Dr. Pudwill.

Meet Kelli Bower — proud owner of Divine Dance Institute, now part of the Vital Connections Wellness Center team.

She started dancing as a little girl, and owning her own studio has been the dream ever since.

Kelli holds a BA in Dance with a minor in Entrepreneurship — training and business sense, built to run a studio the right way.

At Divine Dance Institute, students learn the fundamentals of different styles, real technique, real terminology.

No shortcuts.

Kelli’s philosophy says it best: most studios chase perfect. Here, the goal is progress.

We love what that mindset brings to this space — movement as a skill worth building, one class at a time.

Welcome to the team, Kelli.

Meet Hailey — licensed esthetician and owner of Esthetics by Hailey, now part of the Vital Connections Wellness Center team.

She got into this work because she loves helping people feel confident in their own skin.

Brows, lashes, spray tan, skincare — whatever brings you in, her goal is the same: you leave feeling refreshed, confident, and cared for.

Hailey believes beauty and wellness go hand in hand, and we couldn’t agree more.

She’s honored to be surrounded by a team dedicated to whole-body wellness, and we’re grateful to have her here offering esthetic services as part of that mission.

Thank you for supporting a small business built on care and craft.

Come let Hailey help you look and feel your very best.

Welcome to the team, Hailey.

On August 6th, Vital Connections Wellness Center is throwing open the doors for our Ribbon Cutting & Makers Market.

3-6pm, ribbon cutting at 4:00!

This is the start of something we’ve been building for a long time — a space for massage, movement, nutrition and everything in between.

A place where healing doesn’t have to be complicated or exclusive.

There will be local makers, food, tours of the space, and plenty of reasons to stick around.

Bring a friend. Bring your kids.

Bring whoever needs a reminder that this town takes care of its own.

📍 237 S 15th St, Ord, NE

Been getting asked about a walking club and honestly… we’re into it.

Nothing fancy — just people showing up, moving together, getting outside. That’s the whole point.

Before we pick a time, we want to hear from you. Would you actually come? And what time works — mornings, lunch, evenings?

Comment below and tell us. We’ll build it around what you need.
