BerkanaWay was founded in 1996 by Jennifer Echert as the
birth of her son was imminent. Pregnancy was a catalyst to
return to and explore more deeply the passions that had
captivated her as a child. Being in tune with the natural world
and working with the plants and their healing properties.

The conviction became strong that not all that is presented to
us in this modern world has our best interests at heart nor is
even safe for us. Determination to seek out truth and provide
safe possibilities led to the development of BerkanaKare
Botanical Skin Care & AromaTherapuetics. These are the
formulas Jennifer has developed over the years of working
with clients that provide the opportunity to heal and enhance
our lives. BerkanaKare has grown to include a retail space in
our office and an
online store, making these fresh vital
formulas more widely available.

The names "BerkanaWay" and "BerkanaKare" came from a
meditation with the Viking Runes, an ancient script that
utilized symbols, which led to the drawing of the "Berkana"
rune. It is the birch tree and represents growth, rebirth and
new life. A perfect description of what we endeavor to  
accomplish here.
