“I met Dylan in a social context through a friend I practice yoga with, and UZAZU came up in our conversation. He briefly described it, and at my request, engaged me in a short demonstration. I knew immediately that this would be the right kind of “therapy” to address some of the challenges my anti-therapy fiance was going through at the time. We didn’t end up meeting with Dylan until three months after we were married, at which point we desperately needed some help! We were very much in love, but for some reason (that neither of us could really understand), I was constantly crying, and my husband was constantly angry. We were fighting every day, and things had gotten quite bad. We tried going to a therapist together, but after two sessions, things were getting worse instead of better. My husband really did not want to talk about things–but I really needed to address them. In a burst of inspiration and desperation, I contacted Dylan.
We met with Dylan for 90 minutes. We talked a little and did some exercises with our bodies, our voices, our breath, and our imaginations. During that session, as my husband and I faced each other and did the very first exercise Dylan taught us, I burst into tears–but happy tears. My husband wasn’t talking to me, or listening to me talk, but I finally felt like he was HEARING me, and I was getting what I needed. We took this exercise home to practice. The first few times were hard; my husband’s body was still resistent. But we practiced for 15 or 20 minutes every morning, and things almost “magically” got better. It was like having a really bad, itchy rash and not knowing where it came from, but getting the right medicine, and suddenly feeling fine again.
Now that things are “good” again, my husband and I are still learning more UZAZU, and still practicing regularly. Even outside of our practice time, there are certain sensations we can communicate to eachother, thanks to our UZAZU practice, in other contexts. We are learning how to emotionally give eachother what the other person needs. It becomes safe for you to do this in the context of UZAZU, where the other person is also giving you what you need.
Dylan is such an effective coach. He is incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and perceptive–of mind, body, emotion, and “energy.” He is clear, careful, and direct–gentle at the right times, and also knows when to push and challenge. While I came to him specifically to work on my relationship with my husband, the work has also inspired growth in my other relationships, including my “relationship” with myself. I have only had a handful of sessions with Dylan at this point, but I feel like I have developed more as a person in the last two months than in the past five years on my own. UZAZU, with Dylan as a guide, has really helped me open up certain closed aspects of myself, and I am enjoying all of these “side effects”–I’m becoming less timid, more clear about setting boundaries at work and with my family, and I’m taking care of myself in ways that I wasn’t prioritizing before. Consequently, I feel better.”

“My biggest doubt with a UZAZU coaching session was telling someone else my issues. After doing some coaching sessions with Dylan my doubt fell away –I felt fully received.
The most beneficial aspect of working with Dylan was how my personal relationships shifted. I also gained a better understanding of how I can develop and shift from feeling powerless because of my issues to being empowered.
I fully recommend an UZAZU coaching session with Dylan to anyone who wishes to make a change in their behavior towards themselves and others. Moreover, to be guided, nurtured and challenged by a gifted coach.”

“After my level 1 and 2 UZAZU Workshop, I knew immediately, that I wanted to continue exploring UZAZU, and private coaching with Dylan was the only option I had at the time, living in Toulouse, France!
My coaching process with Dylan, overall, feels like a journey. As we move on, each session (5 by now) gets more to the core. The last sessions have been deep surprises and deeply healing.
The sessions with Dylan have allowed me to confront some of my own life-long challenges in a completely new way, gave me a whole new perspective on them, ways to work with them and thereby slowly transform them.
The sessions allowed me (as long as I continued to practice the work we started together) to experience real shifts in my unconscious energy. The work has opened up new levels of experience to me and, with the tools Dylan has provided me, I am able to access these levels of my being consciously.
Dylan offers a rare combination of creativity, intuition and love.”
- Veronika Green, Independent Coach and Consultant
“I was concerned whether Dylan and UZAZU could really help me with my issues. At first, it was an issue of money – if it would really be worth it. Having met and spoken with him personally really helped me decide that he was the right person to work with.
The sessions had a profound effect on me, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually…i could really feel the shift in my body and mind after every session of working with him.
Dylan has such an amazing capacity for compassionate communication, and an intuitive skill in really getting to the core of the issue fast. i felt really supported and heard throughout my whole process!
For me, the results have really lasted! It’s given me clarity, peace of heart and mind, release and a greater understanding and awareness of myself.
I would definitely recommend people to work with Dylan. i found Uzazu to be profound and life-changing. Dylan and UZAZU have helped me move out of my head and into my body.
I couldn’t have done what I’ve done without Dylan’s support and help.”
- Monica Day, Soul Growth Facilitator, and Kinesiology Therapist
“The biggest obstacle for me to do an UZAZU coaching session was the fact that we had to do it over the phone. I had doubts about the effectiveness of the session and was unsure if we could really establish a connection.
I, however, found that the phone- problem was negligible. We almost seemed to be in the same room and Dylan was able to establish a true connection of trust in no time.
The clear instructions I got gave me direction to continue the work on my own.
Also, I felt more grounded and reassured that I can create a change in my life, that I am my own instrument, I am THE instrument.
This capacity to identify people’s strengths and empower someone is why I’d recommend Dylan as a coach. He holds the talent to listen and connect to people, anticipate their need AND to gently turn the need into action.”

“Dylan Newcomb is the first truly Integral therapist I have found in New York City. Dylan’s approach addresses body, mind and spirit simultaneously. His work is both diagnostic and reparative– therefore fast, deep, and profound. In sessions, Dylan is creative and intuitive; his work is experiential. Things happen when I work with Dylan. From the first, Dylan got the gist of my many complicated and interrelated issues, while meeting me with empathy and obvious wisdom. Holding the large picture, Dylan zoomed in on the aspect of my issues that proved most urgent and central to healing. After our first session, I felt an immediate sense of relief, as well as excitement, curiosity and inspiration. It’s been a long time since I felt inspired by therapy! Dylan’s work spans the archetypal, subtle energy, and physical body levels, in addition to the mental and emotional levels therapy usually addresses. I am honestly thrilled to be able to recommend Dylan Newcomb as an Integral therapist and healer with heart and integrity.”

“For me, committing the time was a concern. I’m so busy and wasn’t sure what the value would be.
Taking my challenges and putting them into my body was a completely new way of relating to them. Once I did this, with Dylan’s guidance, I had new, incredibly useful perspectives available to me.
One pair of movements clearly showed me that to be a better leader was not in the traditional way we think of leading, but rather listening more clearly. This changed my perspective and solved a huge problem I was facing.
Another huge outcome was a movement that helped me feel presence and clarity while in the middle of a lot of chaos. It’s hard to describe, but I left the session feeling empowered and clear, and that feeling has stayed since the session weeks ago.
There is nothing else like it. We are very much lost in “mind-stuff” these days and getting into movement in this context is unlike anything I’ve seen out there. It’s powerful stuff!
I deeply appreciate the skill and presence of Dylan. He’s a master at what he does.”

I loved UZAZU already, but it can be challenging for me to soften my own boundaries and open up. It’s an act of trusting and going beyond old patterns… Having already taken several UZAZU workshops with Dylan, I had no reason to not trust, so I speak about my own fear and boundaries here
As a result of my sessions, I often feel release, joy and meeting diversity and mirroring it from another side in order to understand and accept more and grow.
The archetypes we played with helped in certain ways, but the real benefit is what I felt, and what I could do with it for myself and others. Awareness, growth, empowered self-management, tools for myself and others.
I highly recommend doing sessions with Dylan, simply because it’s a great gift to yourself!
Dylan, is so skilled in literally embodying the energy dynamics from his true source on this earth – his body. He sees and senses into this by knowledge and intuition, which helps people to grow, overcome issues, to flow, to bridge to others or whatever seems appropriate at a specific
time.
I am so grateful for how Dylan has helped me become aware of my body, as an instrument that never lies. He has taught me how to listen to it and to use it!
- Toineke Theeuwes, Managing Healthcare Consultant with a major international firm
“Before I started, I was a bit apprehensive to do UZAZU Coaching via web video with someone I have never met. I imagined maybe I’d just be doing movements with Dylan, but the coaching sessions have more elements of ‘actual coaching’ than I first expected.
With Dylan’s special techniques, skills and intuitions, it is amazing how quickly we identified the underlying problems, and hence could focus and work on them.
The sessions I’ve had with Dylan have helped me to realize a lot about transition I want to make, and gave me the confidence that I will make it and come out as a better and happier person living a more meaningful life.
Working together, things started to move and shift instead of being stuck and I’ve gained much insight and clarity into the root causes and my weaknesses. I’m much clearer now on where I stand, and where I want to go. While we are looking into the mind and heart for answers, we are able to use UZAZU to help energies flow, and connect body and mind.
The combination of coaching and the UZAZU practices is perfect!
Outside of my sessions with Dylan, the UZAZU exercises he advised for me have been very easy to practise, especially with the help of the online practice videos! This helped unblock things and promote shifting in my life.
I highly recommend Dylan’s coaching and practices to others because it works! You are able to make an interesting journey of discovering what works best for you. Anyone living anywhere can learn, practice and grow at their own convenience and benefit.”

“Dylan combined his bodywork, energy work, open heart and clear mind to get straight to the essence and empowered me with a practice so that I could take ownership of the issues and work on them myself. With great success!”
- Peter Merry, Founder CHE NL, Director Wisdom University in Europe, Director The Hague center for Global Governance, Innovation and Emergence.
“I was going through a breakup at the time, and Dylan showed me how to use specific sound, breath and movement exercises that quickly helped me to energetically “let go” of the grief, pain and heartbreak, and move back into love, health and happiness.
Dylan was astoundingly insightful, caring, generous in his sharing of his perceptions, and really helpful to me. He also gave me some profound insight into the way I was managing my energy, the way that I showed up for myself, and gave me some useful tips on how I could change this and even improve my performance in my business.
Dylan is a rare individual; extremely intelligent and really incredibly gifted in his sensitivity to what’s going on inside of people, energetically.
The input he offers is not available anywhere else in the world at any price, to my knowledge, and for me it has proven useful and sound. Besides his talent and understanding, he is a really beautiful person, with a good heart, and a creative mind!
I am by nature, and by my calling, a very analytical person. Getting more into my body made a crucial difference for me. I truly cannot recommend Dylan highly enough! Anyone would be very fortunate indeed to have access to his counsel, input and instruction.
Dylan and his work have had a VERY positive impact on my life.”

What people are saying about Dylan and UZAZU Change Facilitation Coaching
“In this era of reconnecting and redefining our notions of mind and body, and convergence of knowledge from East and West, UZAZU is a fascinating path to wholeness and balance. We know that energy is primary and that blocked energy leads to distress and illness. UZAZU opens up your body (and thus your mind), frees energy and promotes well-being. Honoring the intrinsic tensions between opposites using UZAZU, you find yourself becoming the link between Heaven and Earth. This system is so vital, fresh and organic. When you do it, it feels right. And then, you feel better emotionally, mentally and physically. UZAZU deserves to be studied by anyone with a serious interest in promoting mind-body integration”.
- Larry Stoler, PhD, DCEP, President Emeritus of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology
“Dylan is a master teacher and facilitator of growth and awakening to our full being and power. Beyond his exceptionally advanced studies and understanding of the human body, mind and spirit, he is also a living, walking example of what he teaches. One on one, his in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche make him masterful at rapidly decoding areas of limitation and opportunity. His soft-nature and compassionate, gentle approach, create an immediate safe space where profound openings and transformations can take place. I truly walked away with priceless new understandings of areas where I could step into being more. I highly recommend both Dylan’s group and 1-on-1 work for anyone seeking to develop greater self-mastery that is far more than merely in service of self, but also in service of our world.”
