Are you struggling? 

Do you feel overwhelmed, sinking, stuck or disconnected? Do you crave a change? Are you seeking clarity of purpose or a new direction? Have you given up on your hopes and dreams? Are you stressed with no clear way to reduce the busyness of life? Does grief and loss have you marooned on an island of pain and despair? Then, you are like so many others struggling in life, just surviving. You're not alone and I am here to help guide you through. 

My Story...

In 2004, I went through my first real 'valley of the shadow' as an adult...the grieving of a child. When people say they are in a pit, that is exactly where I was, in a pit of despair. No amount of medication or talk therapy seemed to help. It was, then, that I went on a journey of discovery about myself, God, and suffering. Since that time, I have lost a husband to cancer, my mother to dementia, and found that God will give you the strength you need for the day (Deuteronomy 33:25). Through Max Life Coaching, LLC, I hope to share what I have learned with others, who are struggling, and guide them to Jesus, who can give them real life (Zoe) (John 10:10). 

Hi, I'm Crystal Maslow, MACM

Welcome to Max Life Coaching, LLC and to 16 years of experience in Christian Counseling and Certified Mental Health Life Coaching. Since 2009, when I graduated from Erskine Seminary with a Master of Arts in Counseling Ministry, I have been working with women, adolescents and children, who struggle with ADHD, anger management, emotion regulation, grief and loss, addiction recovery and many other areas. I have worked at John de la Howe School as a Clinical Therapist, at Connie Maxwell Children's Home as a Christian Counselor and Case Manager, and currently work part-time for A Place for Us Ministries (where I have been a Life Coach, Residential Director and now Assist for the Our Farm program). I launched Max Life Coaching, LLC in January 2025 to offer my services to more women and youth; thus, to see more lives changed by God's amazing grace. I hope you will join me on your life journey and let me assist you in setting life goals to move you forward. I am here to Encourage, Exhort and Enlighten!
