From Addicted and Abused to a Beautiful Blessing

by Teri Katzenberger



A Walk in My Shoes

Having self-image issues and a health altering eating disorder for more than 20 years, as well as other serious life altering addictions and challenges, I can certainly relate to most individuals.


On my own personal health and wellness journey since 1991, I teach and train people everything I currently do, and have done, to live a healthy, clean, full active life!


More people today, than ever before, want to feel good - look good and most importantly, live a healthy life. They do not want to be held hostage by their scale nor in bondage to health issues and ailments.


Finding the Way...

In 1991, I became a divine overcomer of entities that were meant to kill me. At the age of 23, I left a grossly abusive marriage. I overcame a chronic drug and alcohol addiction. I overcame a chronic dual eating disorder.

That is when my own personal journey of health, body wellness, fitness and nutrition began. I was on a journey to save my own life!


Hello World! I'm Teri Katzenberger. I am the founder and owner of the Live Well Now Academy LLC.


I started my journey as an Entrepreneur in the Health and Lifestyle Wellness industry in 2000. I have dedicated myself to helping people live a healthy, well, fit, strong, whole life from the inside out; without fad dieting and unrealistic expectations. 


My Moto: "We certainly age each year; however, we do NOT have to grow old in the process!"


In 2000, God chose me to teach, educate and help others live a healthy, well, fit, strong, whole life from the inside out. 


I have a Certification Specialization in Medical Fitness and Hormone Fitness. I also earned a degree in Fitness and Nutrition as well as a degree in Business Administration. I have numerous Certifications as a Transformation Life Coach, Life Story Coach, Sobriety Life Coach, Mindfulness Coach, Group and Circuit Training and Personal Development Training, and many more! 


As life evolves, I believe in ongoing education. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” nor do I have a cookie cutter approach. We are all different makes and models shapes and sizes. Every “Body” is different.


Since 2005 I have been a Functional Health and Lifestyle Wellness Practitioner. I specialize in people. Your healthy results are my Specialty. People matter to me. Their life matters to me. Their future self, matters to me.


Since 2017 I have been on my own personal journey once AGAIN! I began battling with disabling depression and paralyzing anxiety. By the time 2020-2021 rolled around I was a hot mess. I truly thought I was going to have a mental break down or remove myself from this thing called life. I was watching my in-person Fitness and Lifestyle Wellness Center deteriorate. 


One morning in August 2021, when I was sipping my coffee and watching a Hallmark Movie, the Holy Spirit whispers “It’s O.K. to get through what you’re going through”. I exhaled, fell back into my lazy boy and received that message three more times. I KNEW exactly what those words meant!


As women, we are led to believe that something is “wrong with us” if we show emotions. If we become emotional. We try to figure out “what is wrong with me. Why am I feeling the way I am”? Sometimes…It is nothing. It’s just how we feel! 


Feelings aren’t right or wrong, they just are. And THAT is O.K. From that moment forward I continue to share my journey with people – sharing; “It’s O.K. to get through what you’re going through”!
