His patients have seen incredible healing results with his effective full body approach.

Dr. Shane is from San Francisco and spent his life throughout California before moving to Ocala. He grew up as a husky kid with an inhaler in his pocket. Repeated back injuries in high school and college caused him to quit sports leading to obesity and digestive issues. He was then introduced to a chiropractor (his mentor) who assisted in fixing his back and digestive issues. The improvements were immediate, and the consistent support molded him into a healthier body than before his injuries. He hasn’t used an inhaler in decades. Outside the office he enjoys reading, cooking, hiking, and martial arts. He currently trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was a member of his collegiate boxing club team. He has had the opportunity to support professional fighters with chiropractic, both ringside and in his office.
Dr. Shane holds multiple certifications in various specialties and techniques. He is pregnancy certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). He is Mastermind Certified in the Zone Technique by its founder Dr. Peter Goldman, providing total body balancing. Dr. Shane utilizes “The Level Pelvis Method” to support pregnancy which he learned from its creator, Dr. William Ruch. He also specializes in “Advanced Adjusting Techniques for the Physically Compromised” created by Dr. William Ruch, which utilizes gentle adjustments for patients recovering from acute injuries and surgical procedures.
Dr. Nadia
Dr. Nadia is a second-generation chiropractor, Ocala native, and new mom passionate about supporting families through every stage of growth. With advanced training in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric care, she blends clinical expertise with a deeply nurturing, intuitive approach. Outside the office, she loves cycling, cooking from scratch, and soaking up slow moments with her daughter.

Dr. Nadia was born and raised in Ocala, where her earliest memories are of tagging along with her father at his chiropractic office; an experience that planted the seeds for a lifelong love of natural, hands-on healing. Adjusted since birth and immersed in the world of chiropractic from the very beginning, she’s built her life and practice around honoring the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for transformation.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida, then moved across the country to attend Life Chiropractic College West in Northern California. There, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with Gold Clinical Honors, and has since completed thousands of hours of advanced training in the areas closest to her heart: fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric care.
Dr. Nadia holds multiple certifications through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association including the CACCP (pediatrics), Webster (pregnancy), and Perinatal certifications. She is also trained as a craniosacral therapist (Upledger Institute), lactation consultant (IBCLC), doula, prenatal/postnatal yoga instructor, Mercier Therapy practitioner, Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner, Dynamic Body Balancing provider, BIRTHFIT leader, and vaginal steaming facilitator. Her approach blends the clinical with the intuitive—always focused on helping families feel more connected, supported, and at ease.
Dr. Nadia is also a wife and a new mother, now experiencing firsthand the beauty and challenges of early parenthood. Watching her daughter grow has given new depth and perspective to her work, and a whole new appreciation for the families she serves. When she’s not in the office, you’ll find Dr. Nadia on her Peloton bike, browsing the local farmer’s market, or in the kitchen cooking meals from scratch for her own little cocoon.
our story
Cocoon Chiropractic began with a simple desire: to care for people during some of the most tender, transformative times in their lives. We opened in 2020 as a mobile chiropractic practice in Los Angeles, bringing care directly into the homes of our patients. From the beginning, we knew this work was about more than physical adjustments. It was about creating a space where people could feel safe, supported, and seen.
-
In early 2025 we made the decision to relocate to Ocala, where Dr. Nadia was born and raised. Returning here felt like the right choice for our family; and for creating the community-rooted care we wanted to offer.
Today, Cocoon Chiropractic is a place where transformation is supported gently. While we specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric care, our doors are open to the entire family. Whether you're a brand-new parent, a growing child, a supportive partner, a grandparent, or simply someone seeking more ease in your body, you are welcome here.
What sets us apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. We slow down. We listen. We create space for you to breathe, soften, and reconnect with your body. Healing looks different for everyone, and here, your journey is honored every step of the way.
