In a world obsessed with speed, Ilona Navickiene moves differently. She doesn’t promise quick fixes or perfect routines — instead, she quietly guides you back to what’s already yours.
Her work begins with a thought both humble and powerful:
“One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done. I believe that science is vital and possesses great beauty.”
For Ilona, healing isn’t linear — but it’s real. And while all people need healthy life advice, not all need therapy. That simple distinction shapes her entire approach to body wellness and mindful living.
Rooted in the Present
Ilona Navickienė is a Lithuanian specialist in physical education, health, and body awareness. With a background as a rhythmic gymnast and dancer, her journey has always been about movement — not just of the body, but of the mind and spirit too.
She holds a master’s degree from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) and a bachelor’s from the Lithuanian Sports University (LSU). Beyond academia, she has earned international certifications in body and breathwork, blending science, art, and mindfulness into a grounded, human-centered practice.
Her work is flexible, imperfect, and honest — just like the people it’s made for.
“I don’t chase performance,” she says. “I build rhythm and rules that support your growth.”
Built for Real Life
For over two decades, Ilona has been an active leader in Lithuania’s wellness community. As a former vice-president of the Lithuanian Women’s Sports Association (LMSA), she’s organized countless health events, camps, and lectures promoting mindful movement and well-being.
Today, she’s the CEO of Body Mindfulness, a non-profit organization that brings awareness to the connection between physical action and conscious attention.
Through her courses and consultancy, she teaches that every movement — from a stretch to a breath — can be a form of presence.
She also consults with athletes, from basketball players to gymnasts, helping them recover through movement rehabilitation and somatic education.
“Living in the present is an ongoing practice,” she reflects. “Body Mindfulness can truly transform our lives.”
From Movement to Meaningful Sleep
At over 50, Ilona did something extraordinary — she launched a new wellness venture rooted in everything she’s learned: Unusually Usual and its flagship creation, the Neck Pain & Sleep Reset Kit™.
In collaboration with the team at Mind Your Sleep, Ilona brought traditional wisdom and modern ergonomic science together in one sustainable innovation: the Wooden Pillow.
No gadgets. No gimmicks. Just natural healing and restful sleep.
This eco-friendly, recyclable, and anatomically designed pillow helps reset the body’s alignment — addressing pain and posture issues caused by screens and stress. It’s not just a product; it’s a lifestyle tool for sustainable wellness.
Backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee and a lifetime warranty, it’s built to last — maybe even long enough to be passed down through generations.
“Producing and consuming less doesn’t mean caring less,” says Ilona. “It means creating something that truly matters.”
A Brand with Purpose
Under Ilona’s quiet yet steady leadership, Unusually Usual stands as proof that meaningful innovation doesn’t need noise. It just needs intention.
From physical movement to mindful sleep, her mission remains the same — to reconnect people with their bodies, their breath, and their natural rhythm of life.
Because in the end, wellness isn’t found in doing more — it’s found in coming home to yourself.
