Amazon #1 Bestseller!
If you are on the edge of burnout—or already there; if you are proud of being a workaholic; if you brag about how little sleep you can get by with; if you believe you must fuel your body with energy drinks and coffee to stay energized; if you are so focused on building an empire that you forget to enjoy the journey….then Lillian So’s message is for you!
Her book, So Empowered, Discover the Five Layers of the Body to Take Control of Your Life, will be a revelation to you!
You will see yourself in its pages…and you will experience another way to live, one that will give you a life that is far more fulfilling, lived with your cup full instead of nearly always running on empty, with relationships that renew you, money that flows without hamster-wheel effort, a body that lovingly supports you at your optimum and an awareness that you are not alone, that you have a life-long support system and safety net.
Lillian So can guide you because she has been there! A Korean-American daughter of immigrants, she was wounded by family members complaining about her weight as a child, and so she unconsciously strived to prove them wrong by building an early career as a fitness trainer with a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois. Moving to the West Coast, she created a thriving business that often had her training 40 clients a week. She was making lots of money and living the life she had imagined!
Until she wasn’t… Until burnout struck and she experienced a terrifying panic attack. A trip home to the embrace of family enabled her to take stock, that something required change. She came home and ultimately signed on for yoga teacher training. It was exactly what she needed to slow down, get in touch with her body and open her spiritual channels. It was there that she learned about the 5 Layers of the Body.
Lillian created a regimen to regain an optimal relationship with each of them: The Physical Body, The Energetic Body, The Mental-Emotional Body, The Wisdom-Spiritual Body and The Bliss Body. In her book, she offers specific exercises and a series of questions that enable you to come into right alignment with each of these. True Peak Performance is not possible without each of these functioning in wholeness, and interacting optimally with their corresponding layers.
Today, Lillian calls herself a “facilitator of transformation.” Not only is she a fitness professional, yoga therapist, and life coach, but she is certified in a dozen fitness and mind/body modalities, been trained in Jungian psychology at the International School of Analytical Psychology Zurich and schooled in non-violent communication. She combines that into a coaching program where she offers psychological safety, group facilitation and compassionate communication. A passionate community builder and entrepreneur, she is the founder of SOfit SF, Inc and the Somethod, where she guides high performing individuals to living an easier, unlimited and fully rewarding life.
Lillian can illuminate for your audience:
· How to eliminate the never-ending “to-do” list
· How to get out of your head and drop into your body and why that is so important
· How to make space for the reflection that can change everything
· How to “treat your body like the fanciest dream house you’ve ever owned!”
· How to do a powerful exercise that gives you a way to reframe your day from its highest and lowest points.

Lillian So is a Korean-American daughter of immigrants. As the founder of SOfit SF Inc. and the SOmethod, she is a passionate community builder and entrepreneur. An integrator and facilitator of transformation, Lillian helps people heal, grow, transform, and find what they didn’t know was missing in their lives. She has more than 20 years of industry experience creating psychological safety, group facilitation, and compassionate
communication.
Starting in early childhood, she felt anxious at family holidays because many family members expressed their “concern” about her weight and size. That led her down a dark path of low self-esteem, body image issues, and eating disorders at a young age. She started dieting and working out when she was barely 11 years old.
By the time she reached high school, she was able to channel that energy into competitive sports and fell in love with fitness, which gave her a great deal of confidence.
That continued through college where Lillian decided to study Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology, and began working in fitness clubs. It was then she knew that she wanted to turn her passion for physical training into a career. In 2007, she moved to San Francisco, where she started working at multiple gyms and stacking her schedule to train 40 clients a week. She quickly achieved her goal of becoming financially secure.
But that’s when things began to slide. Lillian was burning herself out. Her relationships weren’t fulfilling, she didn’t feel seen, loved or appreciated -- no matter how hard she worked. She realized her health was declining. And that’s when she had her first panic attack.
That experience sent her into deep self-reflection. She yearned to know why she felt the way she did, seeking to understand her thoughts and behaviors. She asked: “Why am I repeating patterns of miscommunication and frustration in my romantic relationships? Has my childhood and upbringing negatively impacted my relationships, career, and future?” Lillian realized there was more to it and was ready to dig deeper.
That’s when she began to attend to her own self-care. Lillian hired her first acupuncturist and therapist. As she became more grounded and clear-headed, she decided to enroll in yoga teacher training. Within her first week, everything started to click and make sense… this was the missing piece she was looking for.
Lillian’s initial yoga teacher training brought everything together and validated her belief that one’s body is connected to their thoughts, emotions, energy, and how someone perceives themselves. She learned that this influences behaviors, reality, connection to an individual soul’s purpose, or lack thereof.
She was hooked, and after several more trainings and certifications, she became a yoga therapist, which is the highest level you can attain in the field.
She also trained as a mentor in nonviolent communication (NVC). Learning NVC enabled her to hear her own deeper needs and those of others through in depth listening and compassion. She took everything she discovered there and through yoga -- and applied it to self-expression, finding her voice, setting boundaries, and communicating her needs. Through NVC, she learned how to be in healthy relationships with everyone in her life.
From there, Lillian was able to incorporate all that into her personal training practice and take it to the next level. It was then that she started to see herself as a facilitator of transformation. Under her direction, clients connected with their physical bodies, thoughts, and feelings, applying all the practices Lillian had learned along her own personal and professional journey, into a seamless integration of health and fitness, mind-body connection, heart-centered communication, and so much more.
After more than a decade of helping hundreds of people transform their lives, Lillian knew that what she offered could benefit many, many more people. So, she committed it all to her new book: So Empowered! Discover the Five Layers of the Body to Take Control of Your Life.
Says Lillian: “I want to teach as many people as possible how everything is connected so they can be healthy and happy in every way. I am committed to helping people get to the bottom of what’s holding them back .I truly believe that by understanding the five layers of the body you can transform every aspect of your life and start seeing and feeling transformation in a short amount of time.”
