Nutrition Coaching
Meet Your Coach
My name is Emily Straw, I am a certified nutrition coach and personal trainer and love anything active and outdoors. If I’m not with clients I am running, hiking, snowboarding, cooking healthy meals or spending time with my dog Charlie.
Growing up as an athlete I knew the importance of eating healthy nutrition, but I didn’t completely understand how big of a role it plays on your overall health until studying nutrition in college and deciding for myself that I wanted to be the healthiest and happiest version of myself that I could be. Finding balance with exercising, eating whole foods and focusing on intuitive eating was where I learned how to start making positive changes for my health and myself and when I became the happiest and healthiest I have ever been! I learned how to eat for my health, nourish myself to feel good, and incorporate movement that made my body feel energized. I implemented these things as lifestyle changes, and not as quick fixes!
In 2021 I graduated with my degree in Nutrition from Purdue University and began nutrition coaching. I also have been a spin instructor, Orangetheory Coach and personal trainer. Getting to be a part of other people’s fitness journey’s is one of my favorite things and helping people become the healthiest versions of themselves both physically and mentally is my greatest passion. I encourage my clients to focus on a balanced diet, listening to their bodies and eating minimally processed whole foods that will make them feel their best. Food is meant to be enjoyed not feared and I want my clients to experience freedom from restrictive diets and learn the importance of properly fueling themselves.

Emily’s Philosophy
Nutrition is an ever-changing, always evolving field with new diets coming out that continuously contradict themselves. It can feel overwhelming and confusing. However, there are some nutritional basics that are the key to living a healthy, happier, and longer life without always feeling like you must be stuck on a strict diet forever, to achieve your goals. I take an individualistic approach with my clients; my goal for all my clients is to “Eat Well, Live Better & Feel your Best.” What does it look like?
Eat Well
- Nourishing your body with foods that are nutrient dense, minimally processed and mostly plant based to look and feel the best.
- Enjoying the food you eat, it doesn’t have to be boring or too complicated.
- Learning to balance your food choices to get a satisfying mix of protein, fat and carbs.
Feel Your Best
- Eating the right food and the right amount, to give you the energy you need to live the life you want.
- Finding freedom from always thinking about being consumed by food.
- Trusting yourself, trusting the process, and believing you can succeed and have the life you’ve always wanted.
Live Better
- Food is not meant to be feared but enjoyed, having a healthy relationship with food is the key to achieving your goals.
- Find freedom from restricting diets that aren’t sustainable, consistency is key!
- Understand that small dietary and lifestyle changes can make a big impact on your health and on your life.
