Cow Hug Therapy
A collection of stories of some of The Gnetle Barn's most resilient animals, how they recovered from trauma and paid it forward to save human lives, and the lessons they have for all of us. It is about Ellie's journey with Animal Communication, self-care, and grief.
My Gentle Barn
My Gentle Barn is about my childhood and how animals saved me, and why I dedicated my life to saving them. It’s about my greatest teachers and the founding animals, my love story with my husband Jay, who runs The Gentle Barn with me and learning to accept myself and live my purpose.

End of Life Care
January 12, 2024
The biggest responsibility we have as animal lovers is when we have to make end of life decisions. Knowing what our babies need and want is hard to figure out. Sometimes, they want to go, and other times, they want more time with us. Doing animal communication readings for animals who are at the end stretch of their lives and bringing comfort to their people is a true honor. I recently did a reading with Anthony, and this is what his mom wrote to me later.
Dear Ellie,
I have been wanting to reach out to thank you for our communication session because it truly meant the world to me in ways I could not have even known at the time. Just four days after we spoke, I had to say goodbye to Anthony. But I want you to know that those final four days I had with him were some of the best and most beautiful days of our 15 years together, and that is thanks to our session with you. That session completely transformed the way I approached our remaining time together. I was so grateful that I was able to hear from him what he needed in those final days and provide it for him.
The grief since he’s been gone has been overwhelming, but the fact that I was able to have that session with you before he died brings me so much peace. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
All the best,
Sarah

Media Update:
Make a new year resolution to give back to yourself. Come to The Gentle Barn for a cow hug therapy session. Hugging a cow brings inner peace and comfort. As you breathe with the cow and listen to their heartbeat, you will release tension and past trauma. Don’t believe me? Read how it helped Maggie Downs in the following article she wrote for Outside Magazine, and then make sure to schedule your cow hug therapy session.
