Pamela Dustan
R.M.T. Thai Yoga Massage
For the past 20 years as a Registered Massage Therapist I have always loved my work. It became so much more when I found a way to unite elements in my life that I love: yoga, meditation and massage. Since then my passion has been providing Thai Massage.
Thai Massage is a beautiful way to connect with another. It is a physical massage, stretching and massaging, working with the physical body. But there’s more to it than that, Thai Massage helps to open up the healthy flow of energy throughout the body and subtler layers of being which can facilitate a deep state of meditation and bliss. It is a joy for me to hold the space for one to feel nurtured at this level.

Suzanne Ogilvie-King
Current Study Osteopathy
Suzanne began her studies in 2011 at the well-recognized Canadian College of Osteopathy (CCO). Here she learned musculoskeletal treatments for the entire body, cranial and visceral (organs) osteopathy over the five year course study. Osteopathy is a wholistic manual therapy. The practice is to remove barriers that are impeding the full expression of the Health in order that the body’s natural healing mechanisms are able to restore Health.
Osteopathic treatment is extremely gentle, yet incredibly profound. The practitioner places their hands in areas of dysfunction in order to restore the natural flow of the system for homeostatic function to be restored to the area. Andrew Taylor Still, M.D, D.O., said that the withering fields bring disease.
Suzanne is in the research stage of her osteopathic program at the CCO. She is also furthering her osteopathic education with courses in biodynamic osteopathy with Cathy Edyt, DOMP and Dr. James Jealous, D.O. She has completed phases 1-5 (there are 9 in total) and paediatrics 1 and 2 (3 in total).
Some reasons people seek treatment are:
- headaches
- post concussion syndrome
- musculoskeletal pain (foot, ankle, knee, shoulder, back, neck, arm)
- dental and TMJ issues
- prenatal care
- post-partum dysfunctions
- lower back pain
- nerve pain
- frozen shoulder
- torticollis
- plagiocephaly
- digestive issues
- carpel tunnel syndrome
- fatigue
- anxiety
- depression
- fibromyalgia
Suzanne is also a registered teacher, ORCKA canoe instructor, ski instructor and lover of all things nature.

Nadine Gavin, BSc, ND
Naturopathic Doctor
Nadine is board certified, in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario and have prescribing rights. In addition to being a Naturopathic Doctor at the Durham Natural Health Centre, I love research and am active at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) as a Clinic Supervisor and Teaching Advisor.
I believe you deserve a health care team that has the knowledge to advise you and compassion to listen and understand. I practice with integrity. I will be transparent with expectations, treatment options and cost. I also recognize my limitations. I believe you receive the best results when everyone on your health care team plays to their strengths. I encourage you to work alongside your health care professionals and refer when your care requires expertise outside my scope of practice.
I love helping women rediscover their health through diet, lifestyle, hormone balance and supplementation. I will support you to successfully achieve your health goals and find your path back to wellness
I received my Honours Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Biomedical Science from McMaster University. Followed by four years at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and a two-year Clinical Residency where I completed research in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a clinical setting.
I have worked at Anishnawbe Health Toronto, Sherbourne Health Centre and Brampton Civic Hospital. I also have training in paediatric care and intravenous therapy. I have been published in Naturopathic Currents and was featured in the magazine, Mind Body Spirit.
I am wife to Jamie and a mom to Vivian and our quirky bulldog, Reggie. As a mother and wife, I know how difficult it is to schedule time for self-care and honour that commitment. Too often we lose our identity and compromise our health by the unrealistic expectations we set.
