Posture Balance NYC

Posture Balance NYC presented by Natural Healing Artists, Inc. (NHA). NHA is dedicated to promoting optimal health, self-growth, and life fulfillment through posture balance education. Our approach is comprehensive, treating the person's whole being through his neuro-muscular-skeletal-digestive system which appears in his posture. Improvements in posture lead to better health status, efficient communication skills, and truer self-image. Harmonizing different modalities: Feldenkrais Method, Makiko Method-Posture Balance, GAPS Diet, and Reiki/Energy Healing, we support and educate our clients to bring out their innate power to become well-balanced people.

NHA was established in March 2008 by Makiko Oka-Castro, the founder of Makiko Method-Posture Balance evolved from Makiko Style Pilates NY. Upon arriving in NY, Makiko Oka-Castro tried many health-oriented options for various parts of her body that were hurting, which had a physical or emotional or spiritual basis. Her research led to Makiko Method-Posture Balance. She sought the answer to her life-long question “How can I become a truly healthy and happy person ?” Although the health modalities she studied had good intentions, and there was much information available on each of them, NONE of them gave her the clarity as to the way of harmonizing three human aspects: physical, mental, and spiritual, as one. So in order to satisfy her curiosity, she had to create Makiko Method - Posture Balance. It is the result of a Japanese woman’s thirty years of struggle and achievement in NYC. Naoko Maeshiba, another practitioner who shares similar spirit, joined her in 2017 and Posture Balance NYC was established.
