The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a
therapeutic salve for countless guests — and mentors for all of us in how to live and die
In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks, founder of the Gentle Barn Foundation, shares the extraordinary journey that
started with her first teacher, Buddha — not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One
evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Laks and transferred a singular form of
healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others,
Laks developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective
for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress.
Cow Hug Therapy is a colorful and compelling narrative of the healing mavens of the barnyard through the years
and their individual stories of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. These animals have
transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs, newfound purpose, and freedom, including for a young mother
who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart surgery patient, and many more.
Media outlets including ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's TODAY show, and The Atlantic magazine have
featured numerous stories of the hopeless beginning to thrive at the Gentle Barn. A testament to empathy
and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy captures a remarkable journey of
transformation and serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection.
