Tera Stidum is a dating coach and online dating expert based in Houston, TX, who built her practice on firsthand experience — she met her own husband on a dating site and has been helping other women do the same ever since. Her brand, She Dates Savvy, is rooted in the belief that smart women deserve a smarter approach to dating.
She works with busy professional women — solo moms, divorcees, widows, and serial daters — who are ready to re-enter the dating scene but feel lost in the world of apps, catfishers, and ghosting. Tera helps them find the right platforms, craft profiles that actually represent who they are, screen matches efficiently, and get to real dates.
Before coaching, Tera built a career as a five-time Emmy-nominated TV producer, journalist, and communication specialist. That background shapes how she thinks about dating profiles as storytelling — and how she coaches women to communicate with confidence online. Her style is candid, warm, and encouraging, equal parts cheerleader and straight-talking guide.
