Dr. Savy Ford graduated with honors from Life University in Atlanta, GA, where she received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She completed her undergraduate studies at Florida State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Marketing. While pursuing her chiropractic studies, Dr. Savy focused her elective studies on pediatrics, pregnancy, and family care, with the goal of one-day promoting wellness for the entire family. That goal has germinated and ’blossomed’ into the creation of the Blossom Family Chiropractic practice.
Dr. Savy is a native of the Tampa bay area, and grew up in Brandon, FL. While in her early 20’s, after suffering with debilitating migraines for years, she sought the help of a Chiropractor. After only a few weeks of chiropractic care, her migraines completely disappeared; that life altering change spurred her passion for chiropractic care and natural healing.
Dr. Savy has received extensive advanced training in the management of infants, children, and pre-natal and postpartum women through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). She is also certified in the Webster Intrauterine Constraint Technique and is working toward the completion of her Diplomate in Pediatrics and Pregnancy through the ICPA.
In addition to managing her Chiropractic clinical practice, Dr. Savy is an established speaker, and presents wellness concepts through various networks, businesses, churches, and health and wellness events. Her goal is to educate the St. Pete community about health topics so that residents develop a true understanding of how to live a happy and healthy life.
Dr. Savy is passionate about serving moms, kids, and families in the St. Petersburg community. In her spare time, she loves spending quality time with her son, Chase, and her husband, Lucas. Dr. Savy and her family enjoy their time outdoors and traveling together.
Dr. Courtney Bolduc first experienced chiropractic care as a teenager when she was involved in a car accident. The accident left her with debilitating headaches and through chiropractic care, she no longer experienced headaches. During her time in undergrad, Dr. Courtney interned at a chiropractic office and this is where her passion for the profession came alive. Seeing the impact that chiropractic care had on the daily lives of patients led her to pursue a career in the field. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida and went on to earn her Doctorate in Chiropractic from the Los Angeles Chiropractic College at Southern California University of Health Sciences.
During her time at LACC, Dr. Courtney learned the benefits of chiropractic care for expectant mothers and pediatrics and grew a passion for working with this population. She is currently a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is certified in the Webster Technique, a technique designed for expecting mom to restore balance and function to the pelvis before labor and birth.
Outside of the office, Dr. Courtney is committed to living a healthy lifestyle and enjoys working out, being outdoors, going to local farmer’s markets, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Michelle is a huge advocate for taking health into one’s own hands and discovering what it takes to find vibrant radiant health through dietary changes, exercise, yoga, meditation, essential oils, and natural health modalities like chiropractic care, naturopathic medicine, and herbs.

Michelle moved from Boone North Carolina to St. Petersburg at the end of 2019 and LOVES it here in Florida.
