“Tess brings an immediate sense of familiarity, comfort and energy to any conversation – all while knowing when to effortlessly shift into “guide” mode to give you that motivational push. She exemplifies the best of the coaching archetype: equal parts familiarity and expertise, all in a no bs, authentic package. I’d definitely recommend Tess as a business or life coach! ”
“Working with Tess has been a life changing experience. She has helped me become a better, more confident version of myself. I began working with Tess after years of dreaming of starting a business. With her help, I left my job and created something that feels so aligned with my purpose that it’s hard to believe it’s even real! I have gone from living in a constant state of anxiety to feeling at peace and free to be myself. My transformation has brought me to tears of joy and allowed me to breathe deeper than ever before. I love Tess’s all-encompassing approach to coaching; as I now know the health of your business can only be as healthy as you are.”
“Tess is a ninja-level listener and incredibly engaged – which I love – but what really sets her apart is that she turns our topics into actionable content. I’ve spent many hours in traditional therapy, where listening is what it’s all about, but I didn’t realize until working with Tess that customized, actionable ‘one degree’ steps make all the difference. I felt like I was DOING something to make change, not just hoping it would happen as a result of talking about it.”
“Tess’s remarkable insight, thought provoking questions, and knowledge have been a great benefit to me. Our sessions have helped me cut through the mental noise and figure out where I want to go, why I’m not there yet, and how to get there. I am so glad I made this investment and it’s yielding great results. Highly recommend!”
“Opting into Tess’s program was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Tess is smart, kind, compassionate, and has a way of quickly understanding how best to help her clients work through their mental blocks. With her help, I was able to see clearly how to negotiate part-time work in my job and then quit completely to build my own business. Work with Tess—you won’t regret it!”
“Tess, thank you for being such a generous and energetic coach. Your years of experience have created a beautiful support system that pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps me unblock what’s holding me back. It’s so exciting to work with you and I look forward to each session! I feel like working with Tess creates endless possibilities for my future, and I can’t wait to see what else unfolds!”
“Tess Challis is literally a life saver! Her guidance over this past year was key in helping me manifest the life I’d always dreamed of. She showed me how to look at my ‘problems’ as opportunities instead of road blocks. She cultivated a mental sea of energy that enveloped strength and courage. As a result, I’m a completely different person today. I have balance in my life. I feel free. I have mental ‘tools’ I didn’t have before. She gave me the wings to finally FLY. I don’t know where I’d be without her.”
“Tess Challis is a brilliant, insightful coach who can move mountains within a soul. Her One Degree program makes it so easy to evolve into exactly who one wants to be. The clarity she provides as she takes you step by step is unparalleled.”
“I’ve never worked with anyone who gets the emotional and spiritual part of business building as well as Tess does. Her ability to not only understand how to support my business goals in practical, action-oriented steps while also addressing the heart-driven side, is unbelievable. I trust Tess with absolutely every aspect of what it means to create real change in my personal and professional life. Thank you for being such a pivotal part of my ongoing successes, Tess.”
“Tess is absolutely amazing and more than I could have ever asked for. I originally just thought that I wanted help with an athletic-specific nutrition plan. But Tess’s intuition and experience led to a complete overhaul on my relationship with food and with my own self-image. She’s so easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, extremely supportive, and very realistic in her approaches to long-lasting change. She understands and remains empathetic through setbacks, encourages through tough trials, and celebrates victories - it’s like working with a close friend. I absolutely love her and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for any type of advice or assistance. She’s the best there is.”
“Tess, in her inimitable way, provides tools so we can excel on our own terms. Her program provides motivation, achievable goals, and accountability. Then she’ll adjust it all to meet our unique needs. For the first time ever, I lost weight and gained health, and with joy! Tess shares the gift that keeps on giving.”
“Tess is relatable in that she herself has experienced many of the things I’m going through, which makes her insights so much more relevant because she’s already been there. Her guidance opened me up to vast possibilities and expanded my vision of the value in what I do. To be witnessed in this way is a game changer. It has given me the confidence and validation to keep moving forward and trust the process. Tess also provided me with invaluable tools to attract clients and venues who are in alignment with what I have to offer. I will forever be grateful for her contribution to my success!”
“Tess is equal parts Food Expert, Business Coach (leading her clients to get laser focused on their professional goals), and Life Coach (helping her clients dream and live big lives). Tess knows that the universe has her back and she awakens her clients to that same powerful mindset. Her authenticity shines in all areas of her work. I’m blessed to benefit from her wisdom and perspective!”
Michelle Cehn says,
“Tess was enormously helpful to me at a time when I felt overwhelmed and lost. Most days I came to our sessions unsure of what to tackle, and Tess always comfortably guided us through topics that were helpful to process.
She is incredibly intuitive and quick to pick up on subtleties that others don't even notice. She helped me uncover blind spots and make simple shifts that continue to make a tremendous difference in my daily life.”
