Joanna Parkinson

As owner and Clinical Thermographer, Joanna has a passion to empower people to take control of their health. Since starting this “crunchy” journey over 20 years ago, she has seen and experienced so much in the holistic health field. It can be scary figuring out what works and who to trust. Joanna is committed to helping you figure out what works for your unique physiology and connecting you with the services, providers and groups that will help you get and stay healthy!

Samantha Parkinson

Samantha is our beautiful client coordinator. She has been living this crunchy life for as long as she can remember. She is funny, kind and full of holistic health knowledge. She could be the one to respond to you on email or call you on the phone.

Fun facts: Samantha loves to surf. She loves all things healthy and organic.


Meet Joanna & Dr. Phillip

You know your body is trying to tell you something. You deserve someone who will listen.

Joanna and Dr. Phillip Parkinson built Sozo for those who are tired of being told "everything looks normal" when they know something isn't right. As a clinical thermographer and a Doctor of Chiropractic, they've walked alongside many women as they found their way back to vibrant, whole-person health: body, mind, and spirit.

Their path to this work wasn't typical, and that's what makes them different. Before opening Sozo, Joanna spent years homeschooling their four children, serving in church ministries, and helping other small businesses grow. She knows what it is to carry a family, a calling, and a full schedule all at once, and she brings that understanding into every scan she performs as lead thermographer at Sozo Thermography.

Away from the practice, you'll find them outdoors on an adventure with their kids or on the front porch with a good book, choosing the same rested, abundant life they want for you.

“Joanna took the time to listen and talk me through the process are well as the results. She gave me referrals and suggestions for next steps. She even went out of her way to loan me a resource she personally owned. She cares about her clients health.”
