Hi, I'm Kristin Maahs
Your Effective Course Creation Coach
With over a decade of experience in education, curriculum design, & helping hundreds of business owners create profitable online courses, I know exactly what it takes to build a course thatâs not just sellableâbut scalable, binge-worthy, and packed with results. Thatâs the magic of becoming an Effective Course Creatorâ˘
Lets Work TogetherOnline business owners can increase their income & impact by turning their experience and expertise into an online course
Â
they can't sacrifice the results of their clients.
I combined my teaching & business experience into The Effective Course Creator⢠framework. So you can create and sell an online course that creates more social proof, testimonials, referrals, and ultimately more sales.
It all started at age 4...
surrounded by stuffed animals and a tiny chalkboard (remember those things?). My mom found me âteachingâ my stuffed students. Teaching was literally in my blood.
Fast forward to age 23âI walked into my first classroom with a Bachelorâs in Education and zero clue just how much that job would shape the rest of my life. Three years later, I had my Masterâs in Education and my first baby on my hip.
Honestly, I thought Iâd teach forever.
Until I fell into entrepreneurship on accident...
In 2014, a friend introduced me to the idea of owning my own business. I was intriguedâŚ
So I did what Iâve always done bestâI started researching & learning. I signed up for a course without realizing what it really was and dove in headfirst.
The course was great, but the whole time I kept thinking: âWait⌠I want to do this. âI donât just want to learnâI want to create a course. I want to teach people all over the world.â
So I created a simple digital product, launched it⌠and 274 people bought it in 30 days.
That moment lit a fire in me I couldnât ignore.
Â
But I eventually hit a wall⌠đľâđŤ
The early days of business were harder than I expected. I was coaching on Zoom all day and staying up until after midnight trying to build funnels and schedule social media posts.
I thought taking on more clients was the only way to growâbut I was exhausted, burnt out, and the âfreedomâ I had started my business for? Yeah⌠it was nowhere to be found.
So I asked myself:
"What if I stopped trying to hustle my way through this and actually taught my way through it?"
Â
And that's when everything changed⌠â¨
I leaned into my zone of geniusâteachingâand created a course that actually worked.
Not just âinformativeâ⌠but transformational.
A course that helped people get results.
That turned students into raving fans.
That generated real sales without chaining me to Zoom 24/7.
And finallyâI had a business that scaled without burning me out.
And freedom? I had that, too.
That's when I knew I had to teach this to other business owners... đ
Because hereâs what I see all the time:
Business owners who are incredible at what they doâŚ
But their course? Itâs either stuck in their head, collecting dust in Google Drive, or leaking results at every step.
Their students ghost halfway through.
They donât get referrals, testimonials, or repeat sales.
And they feel like launching a course just makes more workânot more freedom.
I get itâbecause Iâve been there.
So now?
With thousands of course sales and a background in education, I help entrepreneurs create online courses so effective their students become their biggest marketing assetâAND their courses become their most scalable offer.
Helping women and moms build these kinds of businessesâones rooted in results, values, and freedom?
Thatâs everything to me.
Because I donât just want my kids to watch me build a business.
I want them to see whatâs possible when you combine your calling with effective curriculum.
And I pray my kids grow up knowing they can take big risks, bounce back when things are hard, and build something meaningfulâŚ
Because they saw their mom do it first. đŠˇ
I help coaches, consultants, and service providers get their time backâwithout sacrificing client results.Â
My mission is to help you turn your expertise into an effective online course that scales your income, expands your impact, and finally gives you the freedom you started your business for.

She helped me simplify by asking really good questions
I was feeling like all my ideas were crashing into each other and every thread of content led to a different end. Kristin was incredibly responsive and helped me see what was important in my course and I was able to leave the rest for another day, or another program. In just one workshop, she helped me simplify by asking really good questions. I got to own the process and feel successful in coming up with a great plan. Her calm, insightful coaching made all the difference for me!

She helped me over what felt like a huge mountain, giving me clarity and excitement in my next steps
It was incredibly helpful to have Kristin help me with finalizing my modules, answering my questions, and setting up my course which is now all ready to be recorded! She helped me over what felt like a huge mountain, giving me clarity and excitement in my next steps. As we nailed down the modules and submodules, she was so helpful, decisive, brilliant, and fast! I quickly got my course in place, which feels like a huge hurdle she got me over! All we accomplished for my course is now propelling me forward with excitement and clarity!
