Meet Treva Brandon Scharf

IFC-certified Professional Life Coach, Dating Coach, Fitness Professional, Writer

After being single forever, and making every mistake in the book, Treva finally made a plan, found her man, and got married at age 51 in May 2014.

It was the world’s longest walk down the aisle, but it didn’t happen by accident. It happened because she got smart.

Treva decided to take everything she learned in her 35+ years as a fitness professional and use it on herself. In other words, she kicked her own ass.

Hard work (and hard knocks) got her to the altar, now she’s sharing all her hard-earned smarts and success with you.

If you want to date smarter, get stronger, and find your greatness, you’ve come to the right place. Treva’s tough love coaching will help you achieve peak performance in both life and love.
