Publisher's summary

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 recounts 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 Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress.

This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection.

“This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate

A Must Read for Animal Lovers

I’ve always been obsessed with animals. However, Ellie’s beautifully narrated stories opened my mind and my heart to new ideas and beliefs of love, spirituality and gratitude, so much so that I will forever love my animals (and my people!) from a whole new perspective. A visit to The Gentle Barn is definitely on my bucket list!

What a beautiful book

I really loved this book! I cried and laughed and totally enjoyed the experience. I have followed The Gentle Barn for quite a while but that did not prepare me for the emotions this book brought out in me! I just bought Ellie's 1st book, My Gentle Barn, and can't wait to get started listening to it.
