Where your path to wellness starts outdoors
About
Howdy!
My name is Myia Little and I am a Certified Therapeutic Rec Specialist. I am an outdoor enthusiast passionate about serving others in my community. I became a recreational therapist because I wanted to assist other people in discovering their worth and building confidence through outdoor recreational therapy.
I lived in Austin, TX for 23 years, my husband and I moved to Woodstock, GA in March of 2024. When I am not enjoying the great outdoors, you can find me crocheting, walking my dogs, or enjoying my husband’s cooking.
