Kathy So

Kathy So is a creative educator, mindfulness advocate, and a resilient solo mother whose life journey defines her mission: "Craft with Heart, Create Moments of Calm."

With a professional background in Gymnastics Coaching and Yoga Teaching (Yala Yoga), Kathy possesses a profound understanding of how movement, breath, and emotional safety foster growth - not just in children, but in adults seeking restoration.

Her storytelling is more than just words on a page; it is an extension of her belief that creative expression is a powerful tool for healing and connection.

Her debut picture book, Strawberry Cow’s Sweet Surprise, was born from a personal journey of navigating loss and finding strength in small, loving actions.

This philosophy led her to found XtraFun, a relaxing craft brand that bridges the gap between storytelling and hands-on healing. Through her "Adult Mindfulness" crochet kits, Kathy invites her readers and creators to experience the same "Digital Detox" and emotional resilience that helped her rebuild her own life.

Today, Kathy’s ecosystem continues to expand - from gentle early childhood stories to the "Galactic Quest Flow" workshops, where she integrates her daughter’s sci-fi series with yoga to empower the next generation.

Whether through a crochet hook or a yoga mat, Kathy is dedicated to helping families weave love and resilience into their daily lives.
