In 1982, Dr. Fite earned her Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine at the Logan College of Chiropractic in St Louis, MO. She followed that degree in 2000 by becoming a Diplomate of Acupuncture through the NCCAOM, nationally recognized as the pinnacle of acupuncture certification.
Dr. Fite started out her chiropractic practice in Belle, MO and later moved it to the Jefferson City and Columbia area in the early 1990’s. While she was active in her practice, Dr. Fite became a well-known speaker and healthy living advocate. She taught classes at Columbia Public Schools, continuing education courses, and in her last few years also taught massage therapy classes, along with physiology and the 5-element theory. Her knowledge led her to be invited to speak at many chiropractic and acupuncture practice and theory seminars.
