Introducing the Founder … Anna H. Spencer, PhD Anna H. Spencer, PhD began her practice in 1980 when Detroit was in the middle of a depression – the auto companies laid off thousands and thousands of others lost their jobs as a result. She stood in an unemployment line reading Dale Carnegie and Think and Grow Rich. Spencer decided – This will never happen to me again. I will be in charge of my own paycheck and my destiny. With four children, a single mother and only $300.00 she began Infinity Institute. She practiced the principles she was learning and stuck to her plan. It was hard work, however much better than no work. Patience, persistence, and performance left its mark. Soon she was being asked to speak at churches, educational events, sales meetings as well as do corporate training using her ‘Relaxation Techniques’. TV and radio wanted her as a guest and so she laid one stone upon another until she had a built a firm foundation. As an educator teaching adults Hypnosis is part of her destiny. Her Master Degree in Education and her Montessori training were foundational to her opening her state licensed Hypnosis Training School in 1981. There is an old saying: If you want to learn something – teach it to others. She taught in Community Education doing Stop Smoking, Weight Loss and Stress Management Classes, was an adjunct faculty member at Marygrove College in the Business Department as well as Director of her own state licensed school. Seeing a need for a credible hypnosis organization and because a MD asked her to get some certified Hypnotherapists down here to help me she founded the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association® in 1986. The rest is ‘herstory’. Your story can be just as rewarding – keep on keeping on. Follow the lead of Dr. Anna and go way beyond – that is her dream for you! Today, Dr. Anna H. Spencer is considered a legend in her own time. She is now semi-retired and devotes her life to private practice, education, writing and speaking. She has written many books; one that is used internationally to help clients achieve their goal is Stop Smoking – You Can Do It! –Her motto reads: Your Potential is Infinite… Dr. Anna – Hypnosis for Health and Happiness… Call for an appointment today! 248-804-4068
