Her story

A healing touch, born from experience

NERAK — pronounced NER-ÉK — is “Karen” spelled backwards.

My life was unexpectedly interrupted when doctors discovered a strange lump in my inner ear. It turned out to be a Schwannoma tumor. The tumor damaged my facial nerves, leaving part of my face paralyzed and beginning a long road to recovery.

Chemotherapy was especially difficult. After each treatment I became extremely ill. Nausea and vomiting consumed my days, making it nearly impossible to eat or sleep. My doctors prescribed medications they hoped would control the side effects, but nothing seemed to help.

Then came radiation therapy. After just three weeks of treatment, the skin around the radiation site became severely inflamed and painful. My doctor recommended various lotions, creams, ointments, and even cornstarch — but nothing brought relief.

So I set out to create what I couldn't find: pure, gentle formulations that soothe, hydrate, and restore skin through treatment and beyond. That is how NERAK Natural Essence was born.

“Your skin is as resilient as your spirit. It just needs a healing touch.”
