Life Live and Know Your Essence
Our Story
"A ministry born from healing, restoration, and encounter with God."
Reverend Kelleigh W.Hudson
THE HEART OF LIFE ESSENCE
Life Essence Ministries was founded by Rev Kelleigh 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, Rev 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
MINISTRY TODAY
Life Essence began through a heart for women's healing and restoration and has grown into a wider Christ-centred ministry and philosophy of healing, integration, spiritual formation, and wholeness.
Today, Life Essence Ministries expresses this heart through:
-
Prayer and spiritual encouragement.
-
Teaching, preaching, and biblical reflection.
-
The Deep Work resources exploring healing, identity, boundaries, and spiritual formation.
-
Creating Christ-centred spaces across prison, community, and online settings where women can encounter God, rediscover hope, and be encouraged in their faith.
COMMUNITY AND SERVICE
Life Essence Ministries has always been rooted in practical expressions of compassion, dignity, and restoration.
From 2020 to 2024, Life Essence provided housing and support for women rebuilding their lives following trauma, abuse, and crisis. This work created spaces of safety and stability while walking alongside women as they moved towards greater independence and hope.
Although Life Essence no longer provides supported housing, the heart that shaped this work continues through prison ministry, pastoral care, teaching, community engagement, and the wider ministry of Life Essence.
Across each setting, the commitment remains the same: to meet people with dignity, compassion, truth, and hope.
OUR HOPE
Whether through prayer, teaching, books, podcasts, prison ministry, supported housing 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."

"In Him all things hold together."
