After being diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions in 2012, including Hashimoto’s, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, and Urticaria, Adrienne sought to improve her health and wellbeing.

In addition to her personal transformation, Adrienne has also created a sensory immersive mindful meditation technique that can be used during the stress response in the cold, which can be used anywhere in life you experience extreme stress, The Morozko Method™. Her innovative approach to cold exposure and mindfulness led her to co-found Morozko Forge, an electric ice bath company that has quickly gained recognition for its cutting edge technology and commitment to health and wellness.
