K.Ay'Nea & Matt Riley
It was love at first sight, K.Ay'Nea & Matt Riley met in 2003 online before it was really popular on Yahoo; there was an instant connection between them, something we all dream of. Only ten weeks later they were engaged and married. For years they had put so much focus and energy into a corporate lifestyle that slowly began to take a toll onto their personal health. “When life starts to feel like an uphill climb, it is vital to take a pause and re-evaluate our purpose”- K.Ay'Nea & Matt Riley
The Rileys went on a spiritual journey that began in 2007. They are very passionate about living a holistic and balanced lifestyle and believe that their best life has only just begun. In which it has, living a Holistic lifestyle includes living as better humans, reshaping the world and the lives they touch. They believe that in their core, “Dreams beget Dreams”, in which we should live with an abundance mindset and values that foster the importance of giving to others and being of service, especially now. After Matt Riley experienced some serious health challenges, it sparked some major changes to be made in their lifestyle.
They sought the answers to deeper questions as to why we are here and what we were meant to do. There was some sort of missing excitement, a passion that they were yearning for that comes when you truly find your purpose. But with every bump in the road, there was always a new reason to feel empowered.
In 2018, K.Ay'Nea & Matt Riley opened their business, the Heart of Oneness Holistic Expo. They are a holistically minded community organization located in New Jersey that is committed and dedicated to wellness, self- awareness, mindfulness and inner unification. As an organization they have the profound gift of coordinating and collaborating with over 100 wellness practitioners, businesses, and progressive thought leaders as a way of educating others on the importance of a healthy mind and healthy body connection. The Rileys launched their first holistic 1-day event and within 3 months of startup they were
sold out. The outpouring of support from the community was overwhelmingly beautiful and validating. People came together with enthusiasm, with the passion to experience sound healing and energy techniques that helped to alleviate pain and stress from the body as well as the mind. It was a period of grace to witness the transformation in other people’s lives, and since 2018 there have been five virtual and in-person holistic events. As a holistically minded business, it is vitally important to support others and come together in ways that inspire new pathways of living and being.
The Rileys have a desire and goal to host these events nationally in a way that is sustainable, and healthy for everyone. Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to improve and better their lives both naturally and organically. From food to health to self-development, there is a desire for people to connect with themselves and others in a whole new way.
“We believe that despite the world events right now, human connection is what bridges every difference and makes all the difference we ever need. As human beings we are naturally drawn to places that feel like home and where there is great love, we will always have a home. Our dreams, desires and visions are big and believe that through heart-to-heart connections we will change the world for the better. Choice by choice, action by action, and hand in hand, we will evolve into our greatest selves.”- K.Ay'Nea & Matt
