Out of respect for Dr. Estés’ expressed wishes, we honor her legacy without imagery. Her words are sacred enough to stand on their own.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Clarissa Pinkola Estés (born January 27, 1945) is an American poet, Jungian psychoanalyst, and post-trauma specialist known for her deep storytelling and exploration of the wild, instinctual self. She is best known for her seminal work Women Who Run with the Wolves, a powerful reclamation of the inner feminine through myth, archetype, and ancestral wisdom.

A practitioner of ethno-clinical psychology, Estés draws from her multicultural roots—Mexican, Native American, Hungarian, and Romanian—and oral storytelling traditions. She has devoted her life to healing trauma, particularly for women, veterans, and survivors of violence.

Her work rekindles the sacredness of the intuitive and the wild within us, reminding readers to trust the voice of the soul, the language of dreams, and the ancient stories buried within our bones.
