About Josephine Tetteh, MSW RSW
“Your story did not begin when you arrived here. And your healing does not have to start from scratch either.”
Josephine Tetteh is a registered social worker with a practice focused on the African diaspora experience in Canada. Born in Accra and raised in Toronto, Josephine bridges the clinical and the cultural with ease.
She is a certified fitness enthusiast who incorporates movement-based tools into her work where appropriate.
How my background shapes my work
I was that kid who code-switched between Twi at home and Toronto English everywhere else. I know what it costs to hold two identities. My practice is for everyone who has carried that weight.

How the recommendation loop works
When Josephine recommends a facility, that space earns a professional badge on ActivePace. The facility posts a crest with a QR code in their space. Members scan it — and land on a directory showing practitioners like Josephine. Practitioners grow their reach. Facilities earn community trust. The loop completes.
