About the teacher

Astrid Machalitza

Hi, I’m Astrid—a psychotherapist, single-mom-coach, and single mom of a 6-year-old who knows firsthand how overwhelming mom guilt can feel.When Covid hit, my entire support system disappeared—no daycare, no family nearby, no breaks. I was completely on my own with my son, juggling everything and feeling like I was never doing enough. Instead of letting guilt and exhaustion define me, I made a bold decision: In 2021, I started my degree in Psychotherapy and Spiritual Care—as a single mom, in a foreign country, during a pandemic.It wasn’t easy. There were late nights studying with my son asleep beside me, overwhelming moments of self-doubt, and countless times I questioned if I was doing the right thing. But I didn’t just survive—I learned how to release guilt, trust myself, and build a fulfilling life.Now, as a registered psychotherapist in Germany and Canada, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion techniques—all tools that have transformed my own life and those of the moms I work with.💛 If you feel stuck in guilt, exhaustion, or never feeling "good enough," you’re not alone. I’ve been there. And I’d love to help you break free. 💖
