Meet your registered dietitians

Kelsey Shaughnessy is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the founder of Finesse Nutrition. A Richmond native, she studied Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise at Virginia Tech, completed her Dietetic Internship at the University of Delaware, and became a registered dietitian in 2017. She founded the practice in 2021.

Kelsey's specialty is helping clients understand the “why” behind their eating patterns and build a relationship with food that doesn't depend on willpower or restrictions. No generic meal plans and no forbidden foods: your schedule, your preferences and your medical needs shape the plan.

She works with clients on weight loss, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, elevated cholesterol, heart health, women's hormonal nutrition, sports and endurance nutrition, and chronic dieting recovery. Kelsey sees clients in public meeting spaces around the greater Richmond area and virtually throughout Virginia.

Macie Fuquay is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist serving the Roanoke Valley with a personalized, relationship-first approach to nutrition counseling. A Roanoke College graduate, she earned her master's degree at Meredith College, completed her Dietetic Internship at Virginia Tech, and has been a registered dietitian since 2019. She works with individuals who are ready to make lasting changes — not follow a temporary diet — and who want a knowledgeable partner to help them get there.

Macie's approach is built on understanding your actual patterns, your real schedule, and the specific health goals that matter to you. She specializes in practical, habit-based counseling and works well with clients balancing a busy life alongside their health goals.
