The Gentle Barn with Ellie Laks

Ellie Laks is the original founder of The Gentle Barn Foundation,
a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted
animals and helps to heal people with the same stories of abuse
and neglect. She is a powerful speaker, celebrated animal welfare
advocate, humane educator and author of My Gentle Barn: Creating
a sanctuary where animals heal, and children learn to hope.


She founded The Gentle Barn in 1999 and invented her own
“gentle-healing method” that allows old, sick, injured and
terrified animals to fully recover using a mixture of Western
medicine, holistic healing modalities, holding therapy and lots
of love. Ellie is an expert in healing orphaned and sick animals,
like puppies with Parvo and calves from veal crates. She has
hosted hundreds of thousands of at-risk, inner-city and special
needs children, war veterans, seniors, victims of domestic
violence, children in foster care and those in recovery from
drug, alcohol and gang affiliation.


The Ellen Show, People Magazine, Life Magazine, Animal Planet,
The Huffington Post, Turning Point, Women’s World, NBC, CBS, ABC,
PBS, and The New York Times are just some of the influential
media outlets in which Ellie has been featured. She is also a
highly sought-after guest speaker who has presented at animal
rights conferences, environmental conferences, eco-feminist
summits, self-discovery retreats, corporate functions and
universities nationwide that serve to motivate their audiences
towards higher awareness, profound compassion, realizing dreams
and an enhanced sense of purpose. Ellie is a TEDx speaker, and
the keynote speaker at West Coast Eco Feminist Conference, Animal
Wisdom World Summit, The Difference Maker series, Phoenix House,
Winnipeg’s Vegfest, UCLA, USC, The Los Angeles Green Fest and
many more.


To date, Ellie has saved thousands of animals and hosted over
500,000 visitors. The Gentle Barn is currently home to
approximately 200 animals and has three locations in Los Angeles,
California, Nashville, Tennessee and St Louis, Missouri. It is
her goal to be the voice for animals, share their stories and
open the hearts of humanity towards all living beings, “Teaching
people kindness and compassion to animals, each other and our
planet.”
