About Adele

Adele Britton has more than 30 years of experience as a counselor and love and relationship expert. After establishing her psychotherapy career in California, Adele became a regular guest therapist on a radio talk show that aired on KABC (Los Angeles) and KFMB (San Diego). For 12 years, she counseled listeners on relationship issues. She also practiced marriage, family, and child counseling and psychotherapy as well as hypnotherapy in Santa Monica, Westwood, and Palos Verdes, California, where she was also an instructor of Parent Effectiveness Training.

In 1980, she was introduced to A Course in Miracles, which transformed her counseling philosophy. Shifting her focus from diagnosing and treating mental disorder, the prescribed practice within the mental health community, Adele instead taught her clients to change their perceptions about their pressing issues and helped them expand the quality of their lives. This extensive way of thinking would also prove to be invaluable to Adele on her own remarkable journey.

Adele moved to Prescott, Arizona, in 1993 and opened the Britton Center with her husband, Paul, who was also a counselor. They provided counseling and conflict resolution for various local organizations. Adele was also a Healing Touch Program™ practitioner.

Six years later, Adele and Paul moved to Boulder, Colorado, where she established herself as a love and relationship specialist. She appeared regularly as a relationship expert on Denver’s ABC television affiliate (KMGH-TV). Shortly thereafter, Adele was diagnosed with amyloidosis, a rare blood disease that was serious enough to put her career on hold. Facing a life-threatening illness, she also cared for her husband, who has Alzheimer’s disease. The hokey pokey philosophy emerged from Adele’s desire to continue living with joy and purpose and to see life’s ups and downs as important opportunities for love and forgiveness. Adele helps people experience a more lighthearted, uplifting approach to life’s challenges, including patients who are coping with critical illness and their families.

Adele received her bachelor’s degree from California State University, Northridge and her master’s degree in social science from Azusa Pacific College through the California Family Center in North Hollywood.

In her free time, Adele enjoys getting together with friends and family, playing with her two grandsons, hiking, and reading. She lives in Boulder, Colorado. | Contact Adele
