GRADUATE STUDENT PROFILE Faces of LIFE
Chantelle Frazier A Different Kind of Energy
Chantelle Frazier completed her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in March 2020 , and she is currently a student in the Master of Science in Positive Psychology ( MSPP ) within the Coaching Psychology track . From Kissimmee , Florida , Frazier is able to take her graduate courses from the comfort of her own home , as LIFE ’ s MSPP is an exclusively online program within the University ’ s College of Online Education .
While living in Florida and before even knowing about Life University , Frazier started researching Chiropractic programs .
“ There are programs [ in Florida ], but when I came across Life University ’ s mission , purpose and philosophy , I fell in love with it ,” Frazier shared . “ I was like , ‘ Okay , I have to go there .’ And I ’ ve been here ever since .”
Frazier feels like LIFE is completely different compared to her undergraduate experience , especially with regard to the vibe on campus . “ People are very open , warm and welcoming ,” she explained . “ The amenities are pretty good , and the grounds are well kept . I like stuff like that ; LIFE has an amazing atmosphere .”
Frazier also said that the professors at LIFE were much more helpful and engaged than what she had experienced at her previous undergraduate school . “ Having that on day one was pretty interesting . It ’ s definitely set up to help us succeed in this program .”
Originally , Frazier was pre-med with the intentions of going to medical school . “ I actually worked in a hospital surrounded by doctors , nurses and physical therapists , and they all looked pretty miserable ,” she shared . “ I realized I didn ’ t think this was the kind of energy I wanted to be around because it ’ s kind of draining .”
When she was talking with one of her nurse friends , he suggested she check out Chiropractic because it saved him from getting a really expensive back surgery . After researching Chiropractic and realizing it was noninvasive healing with hands , it seemed to be aligned with Frazier ’ s purpose in life , and she decided to commit to this path instead .
“ Who I was when I started at LIFE and who I am now are two totally different people ,” Frazier said . “ Being at Life University is like you are constantly being challenged to think outside of your current predicament or current self . That constant challenge is forcing you to grow so that you can be connected to a bigger vision .”
Frazier feels that , because of this growth , she has definitely found Lasting Purpose while at LIFE . She believes it is an ongoing thing to serve out of her sense of abundance .
Frazier currently works as a chiropractor and hopes to weave in her Positive Psychology degree to give even more holistic healthcare to her patients . She believes both degrees will complement each other in her career . With that said , her advice to prospective LIFE students showcases the wisdom that she can impart to future patients on their journeys to long-term , optimal health .
“ Stay focused on your path . We are all different ,” Frazier advises other students . “ Be compassionate with yourself , and you ’ ll get to where you want to be .”
