Shay Richardson is the founder of RestFuel Wellness, Atlanta’s premier recovery studio designed to help people recharge, reset, and operate at their highest level. With a deep-rooted passion for holistic health and human performance, Shay created RestFuel as a modern sanctuary where science-backed recovery meets everyday wellness.
The studio offers a curated selection of services — including red light therapy, cryotherapy, lymphatic compression, infrared sauna, vibroacoustic therapy, and halotherapy — each chosen for their powerful ability to support the body’s natural healing processes. These modalities aren’t just for elite athletes — they’re for anyone navigating stress, fatigue, inflammation, or the demands of a busy lifestyle.
Shay is on a mission to educate people about the essential role recovery plays in overall health. In a world where burnout is worn like a badge of honor, she believes recovery should be a non-negotiable. Science shows that modalities like red light therapy can improve cellular energy and skin health, cryotherapy can reduce inflammation and boost mood, and lymphatic drainage supports detoxification and immune resilience — just to name a few.
At the heart of RestFuel is the belief that rest is not a reward — it’s fuel. Shay is passionate about shifting the conversation around wellness and empowering people to prioritize recovery as a vital part of living well.

OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Nearly 20 years ago, constant exhaustion pushed me to seek real solutions for healing and thriving. As a single, full-time working mother of two, I couldn’t afford to feel depleted—so I explored wellness therapies that truly made a difference.
Through years of discovery, I learned that my body struggles to detox naturally, leading me to fall in love with infrared saunas. Living in a constant “Fight or Flight” state, I gravitated toward therapies that calm anxiety and heal emotional trauma. I found that Red Light Therapy, Halotherapy (dry salt), and Vibracoustic Therapy instantly shift me into “Rest & Digest” mode, while Cryotherapy became a game-changer for reducing inflammation and boosting energy. The Ballancer®Pro has been incredible for stimulating my lymphatic system while providing deep relaxation.
After undergoing two neck surgeries in six months, I realized that self-care and recovery aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities. This realization inspired me to create a wellness studio centered around Rest (Recovery) and Fuel (Energy), offering therapies designed to reset the nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, and lower inflammation. My goal was to provide powerful, time-efficient treatments in one convenient location, making wellness accessible for busy lives.
I hope our wellness services help you feel your best!
Best, Shay
