Toni Rae Osiecki was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. She attended her early elementary years (K-4) in Rhinelander, WI. The following two years were spent in Blue Springs, Missouri before returning to Wisconsin where she attended one year of Junior High School in Stevens Point and the remainder of her formal education, grades 8-12, in Wautoma, WI. Toni is the oldest of eight children.
Following high school graduation, Toni earned her Associates degree from MATC in Madison, Wisconsin, while obtaining licensure as a massage therapist. Toni continued her education at the University of Wisconsin where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 2011, followed by her Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2013.
In the early college years, Toni worked as a group counselor at a home for troubled youth. After obtaining licensure as a massage therapist, exercising that practice funded her ongoing education while working toward her goal of becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist. When that aspiration came to fruition in 2013, Toni followed her dream of relocating to Alaska and accepted a position as an SLP with the Anchorage-based company, "Programs for Infants and Children". In December of 2016, Toni took the leap of idependent practice, currently contracting SLP services in rural Alaska. While her role as an SLP is her primary focus, she continues to provide therapeutic massage services where applicable in her practice and special populations.

She has an ongoing quest to increase her knowledge and understanding regarding the relationship between the body and mind with nutritian and exercise. Toni spends her free time balancing her love of yoga, hiking, camping, skiing, disc golf, and music.
