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.
