because the client was like,hey, you know, they told me I
needed hip surgery and you helpme, can you? They're saying the
same thing to my dog? Can youhelp my dog and I was like, I
don't, I don't know, bring yourdog in. So I work with the dog
and the dog got better.
Everybody has muscles andmuscles get tight. And when
muscles get tight and press onnerves, they cause problems. And
if you can change that musclememory, then they feel better.
(00:31):
Hi, it's Dr. Derek Taylor.
Welcome to the Taylor method forpain free living Podcast. I'm
here with my special guest,Stephanie Hunter. Stephanie
Hunter is a pain relief expertand inventor and developer of
the hunter method, which is avery innovative, unique approach
of getting rid of people anddogs pain using her proprietary
(00:53):
techniques that she has comeacross and developed over the
past 31 years. Plus, and so weare so excited to have you on
our guests, as our guests hereon our show. Stephanie. Thank
you and welcome to the show.
Thank you. Thank you for havingme. Now you have been
(01:13):
practicing, you have been apractitioner that has helped 10s
of 1000s of people over the past31 years in Jupiter. Now you
just recently relocated toChattanooga, Tennessee, the
background, the beautifulbackground there. And so you
have developed this uniqueproprietary method of helping
(01:36):
people and dogs get rid of pain.
Using your methods. How did youhave this all come about?
It came about really because Iwas in a lot of pain. And
when I was growing up I was agymnast and that I was I got
into cheerleading that says itall right there gymnast and
(01:58):
cheerleader, you're gonna havesome issues here.
And then I was in 17 caraccidents and four years.
After that, I just thought itwas game over. And I I just
I was really desperate. And Igot down on my knees and prayed
(02:19):
and said, God, please help meand I got off of all the
medications and, and all thatstuff that was really, really
hindering me and make meseverely depressed. And I just
thought there's got to be abetter way. So I searched out
natural methods and started myjourney went to massage school.
(02:39):
And I was just obsessed withtrying to figure out a way to
get lasting relief. I wantedlasting relief. I didn't want to
be on medications or anythingand, and so I just learned it
all did it all and kind of keptputting it together and putting
it together and helped a lot ofpeople along the way. And I'm
(03:02):
and that's that's how I'vegotten to this. But uh
it was really Tony Robbins in2013 I met him. And you know, he
just wrote one of the bestselling books on alternative
health and is the biggest HealthNet I've ever met my whole life
like it takes to the next level.
So when he met me, he's like, Ilove healers like you. And
(03:27):
I don't like the word healer. Ialways feel like people heal
themselves. I kind of help. Butanyways, I didn't say anything.
And then he said,he says, you know, I'd love to
have you work on whatever. So Istarted working with him. And
then about six months later,because I said that you haven't
had this and you haven't had me.
And that's when I startedworking with him. And then
(03:49):
halfway through a treatment oneday, he grabbed my hand and he
said like, You got to figure outwhat you're doing. really figure
it out, train other people andget this into the world. The
world needs this. And so that'swhat I've been doing since 2013.
So I've trained othertherapists, and this has kind of
morphed into also helping dogs.
(04:13):
So what I have right here youcan kind of see is
Baxter, but dogs get pain too.
And so I adapted my therapybecause the client was like,
hey, you know, they told me Ineeded hip surgery and you help
me can you they're saying thesame thing to my dog. Can you
help my dog and I was like, Idon't I don't know, bring your
dog in. So I work with the dogand the dog got better. That was
(04:36):
like nine years ago now. And sonow like I teach people how to
help their own dogs sokind of cut out the middleman
right but the healer. Yeah, II believe everybody has a unique
gift of being able to heal. Weall have these amazing hands.
(05:00):
And I've been at this for 31years. So I'm, I'll be 58 this
year. And I've done 94,000treatments in my lifetime. So I
just want to like pass the batonover to everybody and show them
how powerful they are. It's notjust the healers in the world.
(05:20):
We're all healers, andespecially if you have love, you
can help your animal you justneed to know the right, the
right technique and whatnot. AndI can I can teach that so, well.
Baxter is right there, why don'tyou show us a little bit about
what you're talking about hereas you teach others how to help
there. I mean, we can have awhole show just on your human
(05:43):
practice. But I thought it wasinteresting that you have this
passion to help owners helptheir dogs, there's so many
people that have dogs, and Ijust thought that was that's so
unique, and you're prettypassionate about it, you're
gonna be you're, you've beendoing this now for nine years.
(06:03):
And you've seen the incredibleresults that people have had
with their dogs and whatnot. Andso while you're there, why don't
you just tell us a little bitabout the hunter method and how
it works. And in particularly inthis case here with animals with
an Baxter being right there infront of you.
(06:24):
He likes your voice, he's likejust like, cuddled in like, Oh,
yes. It's funny, if we say, h un t our time, he can't spell
yet. But if I say that, andit'll just she'll start going
berserk. Because he knows, maybehe can spell because he's but
(06:45):
um, so. So the easiest way justto explain Hunter method is that
it's a touch and movementtechnique that changes the
muscle memory. And so themuscles go back to their
original state before they gotscared, whether was an accident
(07:07):
and over stretching or whatever.
So using touch and movement,lets the brain know that it's
safe to move. And so the personor the dog heals themselves,
it's not me the practitionerthat's like trying to go really
deep or trying to get the rightstretch, you know, because if we
scare the muscles, then themuscles are just going to stay
(07:30):
to where they are. So like, whatit looks like with humans is the
the client is dressed and thetherapist acts more like a coach
and moving and touching theirmuscles. And that's like the
simplistic version of it, butit's a touch and movement
(07:50):
technique. So it's aninteractive Muscle Therapy. I
googled that the other day, Iput it in quotes, interactive
Muscle Therapy, and the onlything that comes up is my stuff.
So I'm just always hands on Idon't really like spend much
time on the computer, butinteractive Muscle Therapy so
when I look at a dog Baxter whenI look at a dog like that, it's
(08:15):
fun to go poor on third time. Sowhen I look at a dog i i Just
look at it like a little humanwith with for now Baxter is, I
don't know if I can move thiswithout knocking everything
over. There we go. But Baxter is100 pound Mastiff. And sometimes
he really reps himself becausehe works. Because he's like, Oh,
(08:39):
you Hunter time. So what am Idoing right now? I'm petting
Baxter, right? So that's abeautiful thing. And we all pet
our dogs, right? But when youwhen you do the, the 100th time
you actually I just returned,you know, I adapted my human
style. For dogs. I'm kind oflike not to lean over here, but
(09:03):
I'm going to touch and move him.
And I'm just like I would with ahuman. This is this little
scapula here. And I'm behindhere and I watch and move just
like I would a human I know Doyou want me to keep going? So
(09:25):
and, and even like the what youknow what he's doing right now.
We do a lot of stuff with a jawand he see his mouth is so
funny. Why not. But anyways, wedo a lot of stuff with TMJ and
he's got such a big jaw andeverything that when you start
(09:46):
going near his mouth, he startsopening and closing his mouth.
But here it's like, but you usethe touch and movement. And so
if I was working as chess, I useit. I do the chest muscles and I
go backwards and I go throughthe whole body Do you like that?
What are you feeling for withyour hands when you're on the
muscle there as you move in theleg?
(10:07):
Yeah, so I'm looking for anykind of tightness. But the the
focus is that you do the wholethe whole muscle and feel for
things. And with you know, likewith humans, sometimes a human
won't tell you if somethinghurts, or if you're on the right
(10:29):
place, right. But with a dog,they tell you right away, so
that's a really good thing. Sowhen I teach dog parents how to
work on their own dogs. So if Iwas gonna work, so instead of
petting, right, I'm just havinga little bit of a hard time with
wanting to show you in the videowithout, you know, but if so
(10:49):
he's just playing right now. Sohis, his nickname when he was
younger was Parana. Because helives through his mouth, right?
But see how I'm moving his necknow. Right? You can see that
good. Thing is muscle, and I'mmoving his head. And He's
entertaining mice himself withmy hand. Good boy. Yeah, good
boy. So he's had some real. Iknow, I know. So he said some
(11:15):
one time about six months ago,he was, as my husband calls it a
three legged dog. And this iskissing me. And so I said, Well,
let's take the dog to the vetjust to see what other people go
through. Because he's like, heknows we'll just work on the
dog, the dog we fine. So the wetook the dog to the vet, he's
(11:36):
100 pounds. He's 93 pounds. Sonot yet. 100. But he's a big,
muscular boy. And so they theydid the drawer test and they
straightened his knees fartherthan the knee wanted to go. And
they said, Oh, and he had areaction. And they said, Oh, he
needs surgery right away. Wegotta get him right away. And I
(11:58):
said, Well, did we do an MRI?
And they said, No, we don't doMRIs. I'm like, okay, so what
are you seeing? And she's like,well, there's fusion on the
knee. And there's Connorcontralateral indicators. And so
we need to do this surgery rightaway. Otherwise, he's gonna get
arthritis in the future. I'mlike, okay, so you're going to
what you're going to put a metalplate in was screws, and you're
going to end the joint was madeincorrectly. That's what you
(12:20):
told us the joint was madeincorrectly, but they're gonna
save an alter the joint. So I'mthinking, did God make junk? You
know, dogs knees are bent.
That's how they're made. Right?
So I did not act like I was anexpert on anything I was just
asking. I was I tried to putmyself into someone's shoes
(12:43):
doesn't know what I know. Right?
I said, so. So the effusion. Sothere's some water on the knee,
and he's favoring his other leg.
And so you think that thatwarrants surgery right away? And
she says, Oh, definitely, he'sblown his knee out. And I said,
Well, what about wolves? And shesaid, What about wolves? I said,
do wolves need to get surgery tocheese? Just know, they have
(13:05):
different biologic factors andwhatnot. And I'm like, Oh, come
on. Like, anyways, I worked inthe dog twice. And it was his,
it was his butt, right? Alsoknown as the ass. And, and his
so as, right the, and those twomuscles were tight. And once
(13:26):
they weren't tight, then he wasfine. And he was no longer
limping. And he would have beencreated for eight weeks. And
they said, as soon as we do thatknee for good measure, we'll do
the other knee. And it's $1,000cash. And, and that's it. And
you have to have this done. SoI've saved so many people from
(13:47):
from that. And I'm not, I'm notsaying that the dogs never have
to get knee surgery. But anydoctor or vet that I know always
the good ones always say toeverything alternative and
natural first, before you dosurgery, they would all my good
surgeon, friends, they all saythe same thing. They want people
(14:08):
to get better naturally, theytell their clients that their
patients that so. And he he heworks at the car shop with my
husband, so he runs around allday with tires around his neck
and really, really athletic. Andhe that was I want to find the
papers on that. I'm going to askto have them release those
(14:32):
papers, because and then I butmade me think of it because you
said what do you feel? And Isaid, Hey, um, do you think it
could have something to do withtight muscles, maybe pressing on
the nerve? And she went likethis. She took a finger like
this, and she just touched thedog's muscle like this. And she
said, No, I mean maybe themuscle is tight because the
(14:55):
joint is blown out by Otherwise,I'm sure it's fine. So, anyway,
how patients skill can betaught, right? And so I'm
actually going to do this one.
One Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom,mom, mom, mom say I don't have
(15:19):
to see his face. Yeah. So he'sletting me touch his little John
here. And he loves us becausehe's always so I'm just
palpating as masseter is fallingbackwards. You want me to keep
doing it? I know. I know. Mr.
Khurana, Mr. Baxter. So, but mymy vision is to, to help people
(15:41):
everywhere. And it's not justpeople that like dogs that are
limping or in pain. Andarthritic dogs, dogs with hip
dysplasia, that this congenitalthings are born with. And, and
then instead of just padding to,to be able to do the touch and
(16:01):
movement and help the dog and,and they love it. And he he
lives on the day one just staresout like mommy about some Hunter
time. And, and even like teenytiny dogs. So people say like,
(16:22):
well, your dog is so big andathletic. Well, what about my
little dog, right? It's justlike people, you know, I'm sure
you see a lot of footballplayers. And then you see, like,
you know, very tiny women andyou know, and then seven days or
whatever, so that everybody hasmuscles and muscles get tight.
And when muscles get tight andpress on nerves, they cause
(16:44):
problems. And if you can changethat muscle memory, then they
feel better. And the dogs letyou know right away of what it
is that you know, they feel. Andso I think I told you like so
starting October 11, Wednesdaynights, I'm going to show up
(17:05):
live on a zoom. And we're goingto do a hunter method for dogs
masterclass, every Wednesdaynight at 7pm. So you bring your
dog, and you turn the sound off,and I'll have the tech setup. So
you know, you can easily see meworking with the dog. And by the
(17:26):
time you get out that call, youwill know one area of the body
one Move one, whatever, how todo it, yourself. So then you can
go on and help your own dog Ihave the videos are online, you
can buy them today, they'regreat, but I know a lot of
people are busy and to sayyou're gonna get on there and
(17:49):
watch the videos and go throughit. This sounds like you're
gonna go get a master's degree.
So just easy peasy signing up,you know, every week, and
they'll be recorded. So if youmiss it, you can follow along,
you know, after. Andso you're seeing you're saying
that the dog lets you know whereto work is that by them. You can
(18:11):
see that they're responding wellto the treatment or whatever
you're doing. And they'rethey're enjoying it, their eyes
are closed, they lean into it,they're What do you say when
they let you know? How are theyletting you know that you're
working in the right spot?
(18:33):
Exactly, exactly what you'resaying. So all these like body
clothes, you know, they're,they're breathing, and I teach
all that too. Like, sometimes,you know, you're working in
area, and it's a little tender.
But you can work it so gentlythat you can and work it and and
the bottom is exactly whatyou're saying like the dog will
(18:57):
lean into it, like you said, andlet you know. I mean if we're
like there's a move that we workalong the spine and and you can
feel it even if you don't have areal strong sense of feeling
with your own hands. The dogwill let will really let you
(19:17):
know. And step by step moment bymoment. And, and they love it
and so they let you know. Yeah,but I teach all that. So it's
kind of Yeah, and that's whythey're easier than humans in a
way because let's say somebodythinks you're you know, they go
(19:39):
to you, you're the expert. Soinstead of saying like, wow, I
really feel that are kind ofmaking a face or anything. Some
people are like I'm not going tomake a face now. I don't
sometimes I say like you do feelthis right now. Right? Because
if you don't we have otherproblems. Right? Yeah. So but
that kind of like I'm gonna takeit because they're the expert.
or the dog is like a moment bymoment. Animal and they they,
(20:03):
anyways, it's such a such abonding experience to do it with
your dog and, and I've taught alot of
how long did the treatments lasttypically, I mean, how long does
it take for you to work on?
Baxter and when you do a huntermethod treatment with him,
(20:23):
um, it can be anywhere from 10minutes to 2530 minutes if he
was you know, and it depends onlike how bad they are. And, and,
um, and then you the other thingtoo is that if the dog is
sitting next to you and Dr.
Taylor, um, you see somethingoutside, um, that if you're
(20:48):
gonna just be petting a doganyways, like sitting on the
couch, you can work in like fiveminutes here, five minutes
there. And so getting somerelief instead of so doesn't
have to be like a big set thinglike Hunter time. And, and not
like a you know, big moment intime that it can be really done
a little bit of time. And thenin terms of like lasting he has
(21:11):
not limp now. And however, Idon't have any sense of time,
but my guess would be about sixmonths ago where he literally
could not put any weight on hisfoot. And in a matter of a few
treatments. He was better. Andhe's been fine. Now he'll six
months from now he'll probablystart limping again because
he'll do his muscle will gettight again. But then you know
(21:33):
exactly how to fix it and workon it. And
what is it that's makingBaxter's muscles tight in the
first place? Is it just though?
They're really they're runningaround the wear and tear on the
the scar tissue that's createdor the just the stresses of what
dogs do? What is it? Yeah. Yousaid the tightness? Yes.
(22:03):
Um, a lot of it has, you know, Ilisten to explain I, I am
working on a on a little webinarcalled, Why am I still hurting
and tight even though I'm doingeverything right. And part of
that is about how we get tightin the first place. But let's
say he, I mean, he, he playsreally hard, he runs down the
(22:26):
hill flies down the hill. So ifhe's a little bit if a muscle
gets overstretched, that's onereason to get tight, because the
muscle gets scared. So thereceptors, you know, the body is
covered with millions. And Iknow, you know, all this, I'm
just telling everybody here, butthe body is is he feels my touch
because he has receptors,McCanna receptors, pressure
(22:48):
receptors, chemo receptors,barrier receptors, all these
little receptors all over hisbody, sensing the environment.
So let's say he's coming aroundthe turn and his foot gets, you
know, into a hole and his legkeeps going, that muscle is
going to get over stretched. Andif it gets over stretched, then
the brain will say, tighten up,something happened, we got to
(23:10):
keep him safe. And so then justgoing through life muscles can
get tight, or being in a weirdposition. Like, he works with my
husband, and goes to work everyday. And, and, you know, he
might fall asleep in thebackseat in a funny position.
And he might get tight that way.
So but that's just part of life,right? Or being really tired and
(23:36):
doing something anyways, he'llbe so tired, but he'll still
want to play with thatbasketball. And so I'll never
really know, but I just knowthat he gets tight muscles, and
then they start to bother him.
Soright. So you're releasing that
muscle by taking the tensionoff, you're like basically
(23:57):
telling the, you're helping themuscle tell the brain Hey, it's
okay for you to relax. You don'thave to be tight anymore. That,
that, that that memory that'sstuck in the muscle there now
can be kind of, Hey, it's okay.
It's released and you're movingin at the same time while you're
(24:18):
working on it. I see. Yeah. Soall of that is just causing that
connection to get reestablished.
Is that sort of what's happeninghere?
Yeah, so think of like, so. IfI'm, if I touch here, the brain
knows that right away. Right? Sothe muscles talk to the brain,
(24:39):
the brains talk to the muscles,and so I'm trying to enter it's
also energetic, with eventhoughts. You know, when when
Tony said figure out what you'redoing, I thought, Okay, I'll
teach all of it now. I honestlydon't know which part is the
most important, but I'm tryingto get as much in information to
(25:00):
the body to say, Hey, it's okay,you can move. And so I'm moving.
I'm moving the muscles. And soit's like, you want to show you
want to show, usually he'slaying down. So anyways, I'm
(25:21):
moving the opposite muscle,there's all these different
things I'm doing, but justexactly what you said that I'm
trying to get as muchinformation to the brain, hey,
it's safe to move. And fromeverything from talking to the
muscle in my head talking to himin my head, moving the body
part, touching it in a specialway, and just letting the brain
(25:46):
know that it's safe to move. Imean, I would add something to
it, you know, tomorrow, like, Ijust so I do the same thing with
humans, you know, people come tome and they say, you know, I
haven't been able to raise myarm, you know, for 10 years. And
so I'm moving and they'removing. You know, as interactive
(26:08):
now, with the dogs, they don't,they don't move on command,
right. So a lot of this is donepassive movement, but they
actually start to move once youstart moving them, it's almost
like they understand what you'redoing. And so there's a, that's
why I call it interactive MuscleTherapy, because there's so much
(26:29):
movement going on. And then oncethe once the brain gets sick
signal that a lot of it too ishow you touch whatever to
fascial touch. It's energetictouch. It's a I'm a myofascial
practitioner, a polaritypractitioner, like you name it,
I've studied it, and if youbroke apart, every single thing
(26:50):
in my work is I've learned itfrom somewhere. So it's like
everything is I learned fromsomewhere, but I just put it
together. And one thing and theone thing that I would never do
to a human or an animal is tostretch them hard in any way,
because I don't know where theirstretch receptors are gonna say,
(27:13):
hey, that's too far, right? Soeven though my background was
gymnastics, I'm very stretchy,you know, very Flexi, whatever
flexible. I don't overstretch, Idon't stretch, I don't do any
stretches. And I just do justdynamic movement before an
activity. And not that. Sotrying to stretch your dog that
(27:36):
makes the dog tighter too. SoI'm still keeping, so that's why
it's very gentle movements andtouching that it's,
and when you're moving the partyou're moving it what to the
amount that the body is lettingyou move it correctly. Like
you're not, you're neveroverdoing it or taking it past
(27:57):
where the body wants it to go.
Exactly, exactly. I mean, I keepit in such a small range, you
know, so right now you thinklike, am I patting him? No, I'm
working on him. But he doesn'tknow you know, I mean, just I'm
touching him and I'm moving hishead. I'm moving away. And I'm
touching his neck here. Andso when do you know when to stop
(28:18):
doing that?
I've kind of because I've doneit so many different ways. I
mean, I did 100 touches I didyou know so it's like two sets
of 10 you know on an area andthat's what I aim for two sets
of 10 and then come over here toset to 10 and and then you can
(28:46):
be likes us treats. Any gentleso yeah, that's a really good
question. And so I am for twosets of 10 but
when do you know when to work onthe body again? For the
(29:07):
well the thing is if they stillhave like with with with the
dogs, I work on him when I havea minute just sitting next to
him on the couch orlucky dog I tell you
it's funny of my husband'sgetting a treatment then he'll
get so upset I have some funnyvideos. Like like you know, like
(29:30):
Daddy it's my turn and reallyfunny but I think it's like just
like little like if your dog islike seems more lethargic or
whatever but to me it justworking it into your just your
day of what you would do andthen having like a 10 minute
Hunter time kind of thing. Is isreally nice. You know we have a
(29:56):
massage table set up in thehouse all the time but you It's
like, you can use a couch, youcan use the floor, you don't
have to get so fancy. But it'sjust like with humans, we do
five to 10 treatments in a twoto three week period. And some
of the, you know, some of theharder cases I've had, like, you
(30:23):
know, would be like a six monthor three, six month case, I had
a man that was a, he was aquadriplegic, shot the neck
twice, and, and they said,You'll never move again. And he
has full movement in his upperbody, his hands, every single
finger, everything. So like, itwas a harder case. But most of
(30:43):
my people, even if they've hadit for a really long time, um,
it resolves pretty quickly. Andthen I then I get another
client, I, I see a new person.
So if you have a dog, let's sayDev, a couple of different areas
that you know, how do you knowwhere to start? Which part is
going to you're going to work onfirst, as the body kind of tell
(31:05):
you? Where's the priority? Areyou just kind of go by feel? Or
how does that work? SoI think like with dogs, like the
easiest, like so in my class,I'm going to teach one area, so
you get really proficient atthat one area, and then creating
like a little routine to bebecause they're done that not
that big, not much, you know,not many moving parts that you
(31:27):
can really go through and give awhole body treatment and just
see what you find. Because like,if a patient comes to you,
they're gonna say, Doctor Ihave, you don't have this, I
can't raise my arm, they'regonna tell you, right, as it
were the dog, they're not goingto tell you. So I think just
creating like a little routine,and then you get to know your
dog and say, Hey, his chest inhis arms are usually great. And
(31:48):
it's when I when I talk about adog, I don't say front legs,
these are the arms this isshoulder this is like just as
exact, like a human body. So youdon't have to know anatomy. What
am I committed to memorizing allthe dog muscle names. And it's
like, s that was like, Shortlandreally long and so you know, you
(32:11):
know, chest muscle, and this andthat. And this is their, their,
but this is their, their theirjaw. I don't think I remember
one muscle name from that.
Well, that's fascinating. Sothis is exciting. So here in
(32:31):
less than two weeks, and you'regoing to be having this, how can
people get a hold of you? Andhow can people take this course
and sign up for it?
Um, well, you can go to Huntermethod.com. That's my website,
and Hunter method.com. And thenin the upper left hand corner,
(32:53):
it says programs, and there'sone that says dogs, there's
other ways to access it too. Andthen you'll see the dog course,
and kind of scroll through that.
And then you'll see the sorts ofsubscription, it's $97 for the
month, and it's going to be forlive calls and all the recorded
calls, and all the likeDownloadables and everything.
(33:14):
I'm just committed to teachingpeople how to do it. And I think
that's the best way because thenyou're there with your dog, and
you can ask questions and, andyou'll just learn it a little
bit at a time. And, and within amonth or two you'll be
proficient and, and this andthat. But um, just the social
(33:36):
acts aspect of having everybody,you know, have their dogs on
there and seeing everybody isfun. I know that. i My husband
always says I don't trust peoplewho don't like dogs, you know?
So, yeah, so just entermethod.com there's a little link
on there. $97 for the month, itstarts October 11. That's a

don't, I don't know, bring yourdog in. So I work with the dog

(00:31):
Hi, it's Dr. Derek Taylor.
Welcome to the Taylor method forpain free living Podcast. I'm
here with my special guest,Stephanie Hunter. Stephanie
Hunter is a pain relief expertand inventor and developer of
the hunter method, which is avery innovative, unique approach
of getting rid of people anddogs pain using her proprietary
(00:53):
techniques that she has comeacross and developed over the
past 31 years. Plus, and so weare so excited to have you on
our guests, as our guests hereon our show. Stephanie. Thank
you and welcome to the show.
Thank you. Thank you for havingme. Now you have been
(01:13):
practicing, you have been apractitioner that has helped 10s
of 1000s of people over the past31 years in Jupiter. Now you
just recently relocated toChattanooga, Tennessee, the
background, the beautifulbackground there. And so you
have developed this uniqueproprietary method of helping
(01:36):
people and dogs get rid of pain.
Using your methods. How did youhave this all come about?
It came about really because Iwas in a lot of pain. And
when I was growing up I was agymnast and that I was I got
into cheerleading that says itall right there gymnast and
(01:58):
cheerleader, you're gonna havesome issues here.
And then I was in 17 caraccidents and four years.
After that, I just thought itwas game over. And I I just
I was really desperate. And Igot down on my knees and prayed
(02:19):
and said, God, please help meand I got off of all the
medications and, and all thatstuff that was really, really
hindering me and make meseverely depressed. And I just
thought there's got to be abetter way. So I searched out
natural methods and started myjourney went to massage school.
(02:39):
And I was just obsessed withtrying to figure out a way to
get lasting relief. I wantedlasting relief. I didn't want to
be on medications or anythingand, and so I just learned it
all did it all and kind of keptputting it together and putting
it together and helped a lot ofpeople along the way. And I'm
(03:02):
and that's that's how I'vegotten to this. But uh
it was really Tony Robbins in2013 I met him. And you know, he
just wrote one of the bestselling books on alternative
health and is the biggest HealthNet I've ever met my whole life
like it takes to the next level.
So when he met me, he's like, Ilove healers like you. And
(03:27):
I don't like the word healer. Ialways feel like people heal
themselves. I kind of help. Butanyways, I didn't say anything.
And then he said,he says, you know, I'd love to
have you work on whatever. So Istarted working with him. And
then about six months later,because I said that you haven't
had this and you haven't had me.
And that's when I startedworking with him. And then
(03:49):
halfway through a treatment oneday, he grabbed my hand and he
said like, You got to figure outwhat you're doing. really figure
it out, train other people andget this into the world. The
world needs this. And so that'swhat I've been doing since 2013.
So I've trained othertherapists, and this has kind of
morphed into also helping dogs.
(04:13):
So what I have right here youcan kind of see is
Baxter, but dogs get pain too.
And so I adapted my therapybecause the client was like,
hey, you know, they told me Ineeded hip surgery and you help
me can you they're saying thesame thing to my dog. Can you
help my dog and I was like, Idon't I don't know, bring your
dog in. So I work with the dogand the dog got better. That was
(04:36):
like nine years ago now. And sonow like I teach people how to
help their own dogs sokind of cut out the middleman
right but the healer. Yeah, II believe everybody has a unique
gift of being able to heal. Weall have these amazing hands.
(05:00):
And I've been at this for 31years. So I'm, I'll be 58 this
year. And I've done 94,000treatments in my lifetime. So I
just want to like pass the batonover to everybody and show them
how powerful they are. It's notjust the healers in the world.
(05:20):
We're all healers, andespecially if you have love, you
can help your animal you justneed to know the right, the
right technique and whatnot. AndI can I can teach that so, well.
Baxter is right there, why don'tyou show us a little bit about
what you're talking about hereas you teach others how to help
there. I mean, we can have awhole show just on your human
(05:43):
practice. But I thought it wasinteresting that you have this
passion to help owners helptheir dogs, there's so many
people that have dogs, and Ijust thought that was that's so
unique, and you're prettypassionate about it, you're
gonna be you're, you've beendoing this now for nine years.
(06:03):
And you've seen the incredibleresults that people have had
with their dogs and whatnot. Andso while you're there, why don't
you just tell us a little bitabout the hunter method and how
it works. And in particularly inthis case here with animals with
an Baxter being right there infront of you.
(06:24):
He likes your voice, he's likejust like, cuddled in like, Oh,
yes. It's funny, if we say, h un t our time, he can't spell
yet. But if I say that, andit'll just she'll start going
berserk. Because he knows, maybehe can spell because he's but
(06:45):
um, so. So the easiest way justto explain Hunter method is that
it's a touch and movementtechnique that changes the
muscle memory. And so themuscles go back to their
original state before they gotscared, whether was an accident
(07:07):
and over stretching or whatever.
So using touch and movement,lets the brain know that it's
safe to move. And so the personor the dog heals themselves,
it's not me the practitionerthat's like trying to go really
deep or trying to get the rightstretch, you know, because if we
scare the muscles, then themuscles are just going to stay
(07:30):
to where they are. So like, whatit looks like with humans is the
the client is dressed and thetherapist acts more like a coach
and moving and touching theirmuscles. And that's like the
simplistic version of it, butit's a touch and movement
(07:50):
technique. So it's aninteractive Muscle Therapy. I
googled that the other day, Iput it in quotes, interactive
Muscle Therapy, and the onlything that comes up is my stuff.
So I'm just always hands on Idon't really like spend much
time on the computer, butinteractive Muscle Therapy so
when I look at a dog Baxter whenI look at a dog like that, it's
(08:15):
fun to go poor on third time. Sowhen I look at a dog i i Just
look at it like a little humanwith with for now Baxter is, I
don't know if I can move thiswithout knocking everything
over. There we go. But Baxter is100 pound Mastiff. And sometimes
he really reps himself becausehe works. Because he's like, Oh,
(08:39):
you Hunter time. So what am Idoing right now? I'm petting
Baxter, right? So that's abeautiful thing. And we all pet
our dogs, right? But when youwhen you do the, the 100th time
you actually I just returned,you know, I adapted my human
style. For dogs. I'm kind oflike not to lean over here, but
(09:03):
I'm going to touch and move him.
And I'm just like I would with ahuman. This is this little
scapula here. And I'm behindhere and I watch and move just
like I would a human I know Doyou want me to keep going? So
(09:25):
and, and even like the what youknow what he's doing right now.
We do a lot of stuff with a jawand he see his mouth is so
funny. Why not. But anyways, wedo a lot of stuff with TMJ and
he's got such a big jaw andeverything that when you start
(09:46):
going near his mouth, he startsopening and closing his mouth.
But here it's like, but you usethe touch and movement. And so
if I was working as chess, I useit. I do the chest muscles and I
go backwards and I go throughthe whole body Do you like that?
What are you feeling for withyour hands when you're on the
muscle there as you move in theleg?
(10:07):
Yeah, so I'm looking for anykind of tightness. But the the
focus is that you do the wholethe whole muscle and feel for
things. And with you know, likewith humans, sometimes a human
won't tell you if somethinghurts, or if you're on the right
(10:29):
place, right. But with a dog,they tell you right away, so
that's a really good thing. Sowhen I teach dog parents how to
work on their own dogs. So if Iwas gonna work, so instead of
petting, right, I'm just havinga little bit of a hard time with
wanting to show you in the videowithout, you know, but if so
(10:49):
he's just playing right now. Sohis, his nickname when he was
younger was Parana. Because helives through his mouth, right?
But see how I'm moving his necknow. Right? You can see that
good. Thing is muscle, and I'mmoving his head. And He's
entertaining mice himself withmy hand. Good boy. Yeah, good
boy. So he's had some real. Iknow, I know. So he said some
(11:15):
one time about six months ago,he was, as my husband calls it a
three legged dog. And this iskissing me. And so I said, Well,
let's take the dog to the vetjust to see what other people go
through. Because he's like, heknows we'll just work on the
dog, the dog we fine. So the wetook the dog to the vet, he's
(11:36):
100 pounds. He's 93 pounds. Sonot yet. 100. But he's a big,
muscular boy. And so they theydid the drawer test and they
straightened his knees fartherthan the knee wanted to go. And
they said, Oh, and he had areaction. And they said, Oh, he
needs surgery right away. Wegotta get him right away. And I
(11:58):
said, Well, did we do an MRI?
And they said, No, we don't doMRIs. I'm like, okay, so what
are you seeing? And she's like,well, there's fusion on the
knee. And there's Connorcontralateral indicators. And so
we need to do this surgery rightaway. Otherwise, he's gonna get
arthritis in the future. I'mlike, okay, so you're going to
what you're going to put a metalplate in was screws, and you're
going to end the joint was madeincorrectly. That's what you
(12:20):
told us the joint was madeincorrectly, but they're gonna
save an alter the joint. So I'mthinking, did God make junk? You
know, dogs knees are bent.
That's how they're made. Right?
So I did not act like I was anexpert on anything I was just
asking. I was I tried to putmyself into someone's shoes
(12:43):
doesn't know what I know. Right?
I said, so. So the effusion. Sothere's some water on the knee,
and he's favoring his other leg.
And so you think that thatwarrants surgery right away? And
she says, Oh, definitely, he'sblown his knee out. And I said,
Well, what about wolves? And shesaid, What about wolves? I said,
do wolves need to get surgery tocheese? Just know, they have
(13:05):
different biologic factors andwhatnot. And I'm like, Oh, come
on. Like, anyways, I worked inthe dog twice. And it was his,
it was his butt, right? Alsoknown as the ass. And, and his
so as, right the, and those twomuscles were tight. And once
(13:26):
they weren't tight, then he wasfine. And he was no longer
limping. And he would have beencreated for eight weeks. And
they said, as soon as we do thatknee for good measure, we'll do
the other knee. And it's $1,000cash. And, and that's it. And
you have to have this done. SoI've saved so many people from
(13:47):
from that. And I'm not, I'm notsaying that the dogs never have
to get knee surgery. But anydoctor or vet that I know always
the good ones always say toeverything alternative and
natural first, before you dosurgery, they would all my good
surgeon, friends, they all saythe same thing. They want people
(14:08):
to get better naturally, theytell their clients that their
patients that so. And he he heworks at the car shop with my
husband, so he runs around allday with tires around his neck
and really, really athletic. Andhe that was I want to find the
papers on that. I'm going to askto have them release those
(14:32):
papers, because and then I butmade me think of it because you
said what do you feel? And Isaid, Hey, um, do you think it
could have something to do withtight muscles, maybe pressing on
the nerve? And she went likethis. She took a finger like
this, and she just touched thedog's muscle like this. And she
said, No, I mean maybe themuscle is tight because the
(14:55):
joint is blown out by Otherwise,I'm sure it's fine. So, anyway,
how patients skill can betaught, right? And so I'm
actually going to do this one.
One Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom,mom, mom, mom say I don't have
(15:19):
to see his face. Yeah. So he'sletting me touch his little John
here. And he loves us becausehe's always so I'm just
palpating as masseter is fallingbackwards. You want me to keep
doing it? I know. I know. Mr.
Khurana, Mr. Baxter. So, but mymy vision is to, to help people
(15:41):
everywhere. And it's not justpeople that like dogs that are
limping or in pain. Andarthritic dogs, dogs with hip
dysplasia, that this congenitalthings are born with. And, and
then instead of just padding to,to be able to do the touch and
(16:01):
movement and help the dog and,and they love it. And he he
lives on the day one just staresout like mommy about some Hunter
time. And, and even like teenytiny dogs. So people say like,
(16:22):
well, your dog is so big andathletic. Well, what about my
little dog, right? It's justlike people, you know, I'm sure
you see a lot of footballplayers. And then you see, like,
you know, very tiny women andyou know, and then seven days or
whatever, so that everybody hasmuscles and muscles get tight.
And when muscles get tight andpress on nerves, they cause
(16:44):
problems. And if you can changethat muscle memory, then they
feel better. And the dogs letyou know right away of what it
is that you know, they feel. Andso I think I told you like so
starting October 11, Wednesdaynights, I'm going to show up
(17:05):
live on a zoom. And we're goingto do a hunter method for dogs
masterclass, every Wednesdaynight at 7pm. So you bring your
dog, and you turn the sound off,and I'll have the tech setup. So
you know, you can easily see meworking with the dog. And by the
(17:26):
time you get out that call, youwill know one area of the body
one Move one, whatever, how todo it, yourself. So then you can
go on and help your own dog Ihave the videos are online, you
can buy them today, they'regreat, but I know a lot of
people are busy and to sayyou're gonna get on there and
(17:49):
watch the videos and go throughit. This sounds like you're
gonna go get a master's degree.
So just easy peasy signing up,you know, every week, and
they'll be recorded. So if youmiss it, you can follow along,
you know, after. Andso you're seeing you're saying
that the dog lets you know whereto work is that by them. You can
(18:11):
see that they're responding wellto the treatment or whatever
you're doing. And they'rethey're enjoying it, their eyes
are closed, they lean into it,they're What do you say when
they let you know? How are theyletting you know that you're
working in the right spot?
(18:33):
Exactly, exactly what you'resaying. So all these like body
clothes, you know, they're,they're breathing, and I teach
all that too. Like, sometimes,you know, you're working in
area, and it's a little tender.
But you can work it so gentlythat you can and work it and and
the bottom is exactly whatyou're saying like the dog will
(18:57):
lean into it, like you said, andlet you know. I mean if we're
like there's a move that we workalong the spine and and you can
feel it even if you don't have areal strong sense of feeling
with your own hands. The dogwill let will really let you
(19:17):
know. And step by step moment bymoment. And, and they love it
and so they let you know. Yeah,but I teach all that. So it's
kind of Yeah, and that's whythey're easier than humans in a
way because let's say somebodythinks you're you know, they go
(19:39):
to you, you're the expert. Soinstead of saying like, wow, I
really feel that are kind ofmaking a face or anything. Some
people are like I'm not going tomake a face now. I don't
sometimes I say like you do feelthis right now. Right? Because
if you don't we have otherproblems. Right? Yeah. So but
that kind of like I'm gonna takeit because they're the expert.
or the dog is like a moment bymoment. Animal and they they,
(20:03):
anyways, it's such a such abonding experience to do it with
your dog and, and I've taught alot of
how long did the treatments lasttypically, I mean, how long does
it take for you to work on?
Baxter and when you do a huntermethod treatment with him,
(20:23):
um, it can be anywhere from 10minutes to 2530 minutes if he
was you know, and it depends onlike how bad they are. And, and,
um, and then you the other thingtoo is that if the dog is
sitting next to you and Dr.
Taylor, um, you see somethingoutside, um, that if you're
(20:48):
gonna just be petting a doganyways, like sitting on the
couch, you can work in like fiveminutes here, five minutes
there. And so getting somerelief instead of so doesn't
have to be like a big set thinglike Hunter time. And, and not
like a you know, big moment intime that it can be really done
a little bit of time. And thenin terms of like lasting he has
(21:11):
not limp now. And however, Idon't have any sense of time,
but my guess would be about sixmonths ago where he literally
could not put any weight on hisfoot. And in a matter of a few
treatments. He was better. Andhe's been fine. Now he'll six
months from now he'll probablystart limping again because
he'll do his muscle will gettight again. But then you know
(21:33):
exactly how to fix it and workon it. And
what is it that's makingBaxter's muscles tight in the
first place? Is it just though?
They're really they're runningaround the wear and tear on the
the scar tissue that's createdor the just the stresses of what
dogs do? What is it? Yeah. Yousaid the tightness? Yes.
(22:03):
Um, a lot of it has, you know, Ilisten to explain I, I am
working on a on a little webinarcalled, Why am I still hurting
and tight even though I'm doingeverything right. And part of
that is about how we get tightin the first place. But let's
say he, I mean, he, he playsreally hard, he runs down the
(22:26):
hill flies down the hill. So ifhe's a little bit if a muscle
gets overstretched, that's onereason to get tight, because the
muscle gets scared. So thereceptors, you know, the body is
covered with millions. And Iknow, you know, all this, I'm
just telling everybody here, butthe body is is he feels my touch
because he has receptors,McCanna receptors, pressure
(22:48):
receptors, chemo receptors,barrier receptors, all these
little receptors all over hisbody, sensing the environment.
So let's say he's coming aroundthe turn and his foot gets, you
know, into a hole and his legkeeps going, that muscle is
going to get over stretched. Andif it gets over stretched, then
the brain will say, tighten up,something happened, we got to
(23:10):
keep him safe. And so then justgoing through life muscles can
get tight, or being in a weirdposition. Like, he works with my
husband, and goes to work everyday. And, and, you know, he
might fall asleep in thebackseat in a funny position.
And he might get tight that way.
So but that's just part of life,right? Or being really tired and
(23:36):
doing something anyways, he'llbe so tired, but he'll still
want to play with thatbasketball. And so I'll never
really know, but I just knowthat he gets tight muscles, and
then they start to bother him.
Soright. So you're releasing that
muscle by taking the tensionoff, you're like basically
(23:57):
telling the, you're helping themuscle tell the brain Hey, it's
okay for you to relax. You don'thave to be tight anymore. That,
that, that that memory that'sstuck in the muscle there now
can be kind of, Hey, it's okay.
It's released and you're movingin at the same time while you're
(24:18):
working on it. I see. Yeah. Soall of that is just causing that
connection to get reestablished.
Is that sort of what's happeninghere?
Yeah, so think of like, so. IfI'm, if I touch here, the brain
knows that right away. Right? Sothe muscles talk to the brain,
(24:39):
the brains talk to the muscles,and so I'm trying to enter it's
also energetic, with eventhoughts. You know, when when
Tony said figure out what you'redoing, I thought, Okay, I'll
teach all of it now. I honestlydon't know which part is the
most important, but I'm tryingto get as much in information to
(25:00):
the body to say, Hey, it's okay,you can move. And so I'm moving.
I'm moving the muscles. And soit's like, you want to show you
want to show, usually he'slaying down. So anyways, I'm
(25:21):
moving the opposite muscle,there's all these different
things I'm doing, but justexactly what you said that I'm
trying to get as muchinformation to the brain, hey,
it's safe to move. And fromeverything from talking to the
muscle in my head talking to himin my head, moving the body
part, touching it in a specialway, and just letting the brain
(25:46):
know that it's safe to move. Imean, I would add something to
it, you know, tomorrow, like, Ijust so I do the same thing with
humans, you know, people come tome and they say, you know, I
haven't been able to raise myarm, you know, for 10 years. And
so I'm moving and they'removing. You know, as interactive
(26:08):
now, with the dogs, they don't,they don't move on command,
right. So a lot of this is donepassive movement, but they
actually start to move once youstart moving them, it's almost
like they understand what you'redoing. And so there's a, that's
why I call it interactive MuscleTherapy, because there's so much
(26:29):
movement going on. And then oncethe once the brain gets sick
signal that a lot of it too ishow you touch whatever to
fascial touch. It's energetictouch. It's a I'm a myofascial
practitioner, a polaritypractitioner, like you name it,
I've studied it, and if youbroke apart, every single thing
(26:50):
in my work is I've learned itfrom somewhere. So it's like
everything is I learned fromsomewhere, but I just put it
together. And one thing and theone thing that I would never do
to a human or an animal is tostretch them hard in any way,
because I don't know where theirstretch receptors are gonna say,
(27:13):
hey, that's too far, right? Soeven though my background was
gymnastics, I'm very stretchy,you know, very Flexi, whatever
flexible. I don't overstretch, Idon't stretch, I don't do any
stretches. And I just do justdynamic movement before an
activity. And not that. Sotrying to stretch your dog that
(27:36):
makes the dog tighter too. SoI'm still keeping, so that's why
it's very gentle movements andtouching that it's,
and when you're moving the partyou're moving it what to the
amount that the body is lettingyou move it correctly. Like
you're not, you're neveroverdoing it or taking it past
(27:57):
where the body wants it to go.
Exactly, exactly. I mean, I keepit in such a small range, you
know, so right now you thinklike, am I patting him? No, I'm
working on him. But he doesn'tknow you know, I mean, just I'm
touching him and I'm moving hishead. I'm moving away. And I'm
touching his neck here. Andso when do you know when to stop
(28:18):
doing that?
I've kind of because I've doneit so many different ways. I
mean, I did 100 touches I didyou know so it's like two sets
of 10 you know on an area andthat's what I aim for two sets
of 10 and then come over here toset to 10 and and then you can
(28:46):
be likes us treats. Any gentleso yeah, that's a really good
question. And so I am for twosets of 10 but
when do you know when to work onthe body again? For the
(29:07):
well the thing is if they stillhave like with with with the
dogs, I work on him when I havea minute just sitting next to
him on the couch orlucky dog I tell you
it's funny of my husband'sgetting a treatment then he'll
get so upset I have some funnyvideos. Like like you know, like
(29:30):
Daddy it's my turn and reallyfunny but I think it's like just
like little like if your dog islike seems more lethargic or
whatever but to me it justworking it into your just your
day of what you would do andthen having like a 10 minute
Hunter time kind of thing. Is isreally nice. You know we have a
(29:56):
massage table set up in thehouse all the time but you It's
like, you can use a couch, youcan use the floor, you don't
have to get so fancy. But it'sjust like with humans, we do
five to 10 treatments in a twoto three week period. And some
of the, you know, some of theharder cases I've had, like, you
(30:23):
know, would be like a six monthor three, six month case, I had
a man that was a, he was aquadriplegic, shot the neck
twice, and, and they said,You'll never move again. And he
has full movement in his upperbody, his hands, every single
finger, everything. So like, itwas a harder case. But most of
(30:43):
my people, even if they've hadit for a really long time, um,
it resolves pretty quickly. Andthen I then I get another
client, I, I see a new person.
So if you have a dog, let's sayDev, a couple of different areas
that you know, how do you knowwhere to start? Which part is
going to you're going to work onfirst, as the body kind of tell
(31:05):
you? Where's the priority? Areyou just kind of go by feel? Or
how does that work? SoI think like with dogs, like the
easiest, like so in my class,I'm going to teach one area, so
you get really proficient atthat one area, and then creating
like a little routine to bebecause they're done that not
that big, not much, you know,not many moving parts that you
(31:27):
can really go through and give awhole body treatment and just
see what you find. Because like,if a patient comes to you,
they're gonna say, Doctor Ihave, you don't have this, I
can't raise my arm, they'regonna tell you, right, as it
were the dog, they're not goingto tell you. So I think just
creating like a little routine,and then you get to know your
dog and say, Hey, his chest inhis arms are usually great. And
(31:48):
it's when I when I talk about adog, I don't say front legs,
these are the arms this isshoulder this is like just as
exact, like a human body. So youdon't have to know anatomy. What
am I committed to memorizing allthe dog muscle names. And it's
like, s that was like, Shortlandreally long and so you know, you
(32:11):
know, chest muscle, and this andthat. And this is their, their,
but this is their, their theirjaw. I don't think I remember
one muscle name from that.
Well, that's fascinating. Sothis is exciting. So here in
(32:31):
less than two weeks, and you'regoing to be having this, how can
people get a hold of you? Andhow can people take this course
and sign up for it?
Um, well, you can go to Huntermethod.com. That's my website,
and Hunter method.com. And thenin the upper left hand corner,
(32:53):
it says programs, and there'sone that says dogs, there's
other ways to access it too. Andthen you'll see the dog course,
and kind of scroll through that.
And then you'll see the sorts ofsubscription, it's $97 for the
month, and it's going to be forlive calls and all the recorded
calls, and all the likeDownloadables and everything.
(33:14):
I'm just committed to teachingpeople how to do it. And I think
that's the best way because thenyou're there with your dog, and
you can ask questions and, andyou'll just learn it a little
bit at a time. And, and within amonth or two you'll be
proficient and, and this andthat. But um, just the social
(33:36):
acts aspect of having everybody,you know, have their dogs on
there and seeing everybody isfun. I know that. i My husband
always says I don't trust peoplewho don't like dogs, you know?
So, yeah, so just entermethod.com there's a little link
