Katia Reyes Aponte
CEO/FOUNDER
I created BEYOUtiful because I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for women to access the resources they need to not just survive—but to thrive. Growing up, I watched my mother fight for every opportunity and support system she needed, and that experience inspired my lifelong passion for women’s empowerment and health equity. As I pursued my education in Psychology and worked toward becoming a physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology, I realized that true change doesn’t begin in the doctor’s office—it starts in the community. BEYOUtiful was born from that realization: a space where women can find education, encouragement, and the tools to build strong, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
