Name one person who has had an impact on your life and explain why:
My oldest son Adam Honeycutt has had a great impact on my life. He has become a great man and my hero. He serves our country in the 82nd Airborne and has a beautiful family. He’s a great dad and amazing son.
How did you become interested in becoming a massage therapist?
I saw the new campus in Mesa one day and just felt like that was what I was meant to do.
What led you to choose ASIS Massage Education as your massage therapy school?
I went home and started looking into massage schools and no other school seemed like it was a good fit.
What is your favorite thing about ASIS and why?
My favorite thing about school is the playful atmosphere and the genuine concern for each individual to succeed.
Name one thing you cannot live without:
I can’t say there is any one thing that I can’t live without because my journey has taught me that life can go on despite loss. I love my family, especially my children. I have a great support system and friends and I have a relationship with my heavenly father that I hope I never lose. However, without all those relationships, it might not be pleasant, but I will go on.
Name one country you would love to visit:
I have always wanted to travel in Europe, especially Italy, and also Greece.

Compassionate, open-minded, intelligent.

Randy Travis, “It’s a Great Day to be Alive.”
What are your plans after graduating from massage therapy school?
Upon graduation, I hope to find a position where I can be instrumental in helping others to overcome pain and find alternative treatments to deal with pain that do not include masking or surgery. When possible I feel we run to what seems like a quick fix and an actually make the long-term healing process far more complicated.
