Sharlene Fry

Sharlene Fry didn't start off with a vision, she started off helping a friend with some research. Sharlene walked into the Arizona School of Massage Therapy while investigating massage schools for a friend and before she left, she has signed up to start with DA04 in May of 2001. Her friend will graduate with DA05 in March 2002.

Although Sharlene, a single mother of four children, knew that going to school full-time would be rough, she not only stuck it out, she excelled. She maintained a 4.0 GPA and was in the High Five Club six weeks in a row. Sharlene was always available to help classmates with their classes and was admired by many of the fellow students, the staff and faculty.

Sharlene graduated in December of 2001 and didn't waste any time getting into the massage therapy field. She has been incredibly busy since graduation; she works one day a week for a chiropractor, she started her own private practice called Serene Therapeutic with two of her DA04 classmates and she TA's for Trigger Point, Reflexology, and Injury (her favorite). She has substituted for almost every other modality, and has filled in for a few PTA’s as well. She also participated in the recent IHRSA (International Health Racquet and Sportclub Association) Trade Show in Phoenix at the Utah College of Massage Therapy Family of Schools booth, giving free seated massages to vendors and visitors. She worked on over 35 people in the two days she participated and was a huge hit!
Sharlene has kept current on her continuing education as well. She is certified in Hot Rock and Raindrop Therapy, is studying Herbology, and is also studying for her Holistic Health Practitioner certification. She is also a student of Reiki and plans on gaining even more knowledge and skills.

When asked what her favorite part of attending ASMT was, she stated that the variety of classes were a huge bonus, and also the fact that she didn’t feel like just another number at a school. The staff and faculty all knew her by name and were friendly and outgoing, making her journey all that much easier.
