Quintessence (“Tess”) Challis is an author, vegan chef, and wellness coach.

Tess began her holistic health journey in her late teens. After a lifetime of numerous health ailments (including severe acne, obesity, constant illnesses, anxiety, and depression), she found that a vegan diet along with an inner wellness regime made all the difference.

In 1994, Tess began to work as a personal chef across the country. In 2008, she shifted her focus to writing, coaching, speaking, and teaching healthy plant-based cooking.

Her books include Radiant Health, Inner Wealth, The Two-Week Wellness Solution (foreword by Dr. Neal Barnard), and Radiance 4 Life (foreword by Robert Cheeke). Her newest book Get Waisted: 100 Addictively Delicious Plant-Based Entrees (co-authored by Dr. Mary Clifton), is now available!

In 2012, Tess teamed up with two amazing women! She and Dr. Mary Clifton are expanding their Get Waisted plant-based weight loss program to every town in the U.S. and are already working on their second Get Waisted book.
