Our Story 

"A ministry born from healing, restoration, and encounter with God."

Reverend Kelleigh W.Hudson

 

​Life Essence Ministries was founded by Reverend Kelleigh Wooderson-Hudson in 2017, born out of a deeply personal journey of healing, restoration, and rediscovering the hope found in Christ.

Following experiences of trauma, loss, and brokenness, Kelleigh began seeking God wholeheartedly for healing and transformation. It was during this season that Life Essence was conceived, not simply as an organisation, but as a place of honest reflection, prayer,

restoration, and hope.

"You are the God who sees me."
Genesis 16:13

THE HEART OF LIFE ESSENCE

What began as written reflections and devotional messages gradually became a wider ministry of support through teaching, prayer, podcasts, books, and spaces where women could encounter God without pressure, performance, or fear.

Life Essence seeks to create environments marked by gentleness, spiritual safety, compassion, and biblical hope.

The ministry is rooted in the belief that healing is often a journey rather than a moment, and that God meets people with truth, grace, and restoration.

MINISTRY TODAY

Today, Life Essence Ministries expresses this heart through:

• Prayer ministry and spiritual encouragement.

• Prison ministry among women in custody.

• Teaching, preaching, and biblical reflection.

• The Deep Work resources exploring healing, identity, boundaries, and spiritual formation.

• Creating spaces where women feel seen, heard, and invited into deeper relationship with Christ.

COMMUNITY AND SERVICE

Alongside Life Essence Ministries, Reverend Kelleigh serves within her local church and wider Christian community.

Her ministry has been shaped by years of walking alongside people through faith, trauma, abuse recovery, housing support, pastoral care, and spiritual formation.​

She remains committed to serving with humility, accountability, and compassion.

 

OUR HOPE

Whether through prayer, teaching, books, podcasts, prison ministry, or everyday conversations, the heart remains the same:

Creating spaces where people encounter hope, healing, and the love of Christ.

"I thought God was changing me into somebody else.
Instead, He was gathering me back together."

Colossians 1:17
"In Him all things hold together."
