• Ellie Laks, The Gentle Barn. A Healer's Journey
    Jul 6 2025


    My Dear Ones,


    In this heartwarming episode, I sit down with Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, to explore her extraordinary healing journey from being visited by a hummingbird in a moment of despair as a child, to becoming an Animal Communicator and a beacon of hope for humans and animals. Ellie shares intimate stories of transformation, guided by moments of deep connection with nature and plant medicine ceremonies. During a time of deep grief, from losing a spirit guide in animal form, she was held by a tribe of women holding ceremony for her grief and restoration. We dive into her role as an animal communicator, her spiritual insights and her vision for a more compassionate world, especially in these challenging times. You know I love hearing serendipitous stories and Ellie shares some beautiful ones! Filmed at The Gentle Barn with horses, donkeys and cows grazing nearby and turkeys chiming in mid episode, this conversation is soul nourishing. Grab your plant based snacks and tune in for a truly magical experience that will leave you feeling inspired and more connected to yourself, animals and the Earth.



    Nose Boops and Soul Sparks,

  • The Q & A episode
    Jun 19 2025

    In this Q&A episode, I am diving into questions about past episodes and stories I've shared. Lots of you have asked me questions about previous episodes wanting to hear more about stories I referenced or had specific questions, "How did Yoshi the dog protect our space before the podcast that he appeared on?" or to talk more about the time that we were in a small audience with the Pope from years ago or explain more about muscle testing. I picked a few of the questions for this episode. Whether you're here for the healing or the silliness, this episode is a behind-the-scenes to previous topics. Grab your sage and snacks!


    From the Cosmos,

  • Energetic Tools I Use for Medical procedures
    May 8 2025

    Dear Friend,

    Thank you for sharing this time with me where I discuss healing techniques to clear/protect a space before my Doctors appointment/medical procedures. I walk through how I call in energetic support to create safe and grounded experiences during appointments/procedures. Afterward, I explain my process for clearing residual energy and initiating self healing. Plus, there's a few minutes of meditation to guide you through a small version of this practice – and we wrap it all up with a silly question for The Void.

    Wishing you Great Health,
    Lara

  • The Light Returns: Majick
    Apr 26 2025

    In this episode, Lara sits down with the luminous Majick to explore her journey as a healer. Majick shares intimate stories of synchronistic moments that validated her path in massage school and as a holistic healer for 16 years. We also discuss the deep isolation she faced after the pandemic, grieving the death of her father and how she recently reconnected with her gifts in a whole new way. It's a heart-centered conversation about rediscovery, intuition, and resilience. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and soul nourishment.


    We had so many serendipitous moments before we recorded the episode! Majick closes our episode with a beautiful pendulum led, crystal enhanced prayer for you.


    Oh! and we welcome our first animal guardian to the space, Yoshi, Majick's warrior pup, who walked the boundaries of the location before the episode to protect us.


    Thank you for being here!

  • Whispers from the Spirit World
    Apr 10 2025

    Greetings Healer,


    In this episode, we explore the intriguing world of messages from the beyond – how to spot them, interpret them and even create them with your loved ones. Enjoy a brief meditation to open or enhance your own channels for receiving communications. I discuss the book We Don't Die: George Anderson's Conversations with the Other Side and how when it was given to me, I was told that while you're reading it, you have an "experience." I know you have your own synchronistic stories of loved ones communicating with you, guiding you. Everyone has the ability to connect with loved ones that have passed away, from signs to conversations, it's just a matter of practice and healing. Please share them with me in the comments or on IG/email.

    Wishing you a visit from a loved one today,


    Lara
