Rachel Mahloch
Rachel Mahloch is a leading personal safety expert and self-protection coach dedicated to empowering women with the confidence and skills to take control of their safety.
Her classes provide a safe and supportive arena for women to practice using their voice, setting boundaries, and navigating unpredictable scenarios with both emotional and physical resilience.
Through Battle Woman®, Rachel equips women with a comprehensive self-protection toolkit that combines controlled breathing, intuitive awareness, boundary setting, and practical defense skills.
As a sought-after speaker, she has engaged audiences nationwide, including major organizations such as Fairway Independent Mortgage, Northwestern Mutual, and Newfront Insurance. Her expertise has been featured on national television, including iCrime with Elizabeth Vargas, NBC, CBS, and FOX news.
With nearly three decades of experience spanning opera, martial arts, and hedge fund risk management, Rachel brings a rare perspective to personal safety. She honed her expertise in the high-pressure environment of New York City, but her journey began on a farm in Iowa—proof that resilience and strength can be cultivated anywhere.
Today, Rachel continues to challenge outdated notions of self-defense, offering women not only the skills but also the mindset to move through life with confidence and authority.
