About me

Hi, I am Kirsty, an experienced massage therapist and skincare expert, living on the beautiful Wiltshire and North Dorset border with my husband and our three wonderful children. I am passionate about health and wellbeing, with skincare and massage playing a key role in this. At Time to Be I pride myself on providing a range of high-quality treatments which not only restore the skin and body but also calm and relax the mind – a truly holistic approach.

I offer a range of treatments and I am always happy to discuss your specific needs and find the perfect luxury experience for you.

I am also proud to be a Tropic Skincare Ambassador and use Tropic’s gorgeous, award-winning and ethical products in all my treatments. I also have a Tropic shop where you can order your own Tropic products and I am always delighted to advise on the best products for you.

Treatments

Treat yourself to one of my luxury treatments and take Time to Be…
All my treatments take place in my beautiful yurt, which is always warm and relaxing and smells delicious!

Tropic facial

A facial is a deeply cleansing and nourishing skincare treatment designed to improve the health and appearance of your skin. It typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, a face mask, and a soothing massage. Facials help to unclog pores, boost circulation, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion — all while offering a moment of relaxation and self-care. Suitable for all skin types and tailored to your unique needs.

Body massage

For a total body reset, indulge yourself with a full-body Swedish massage. Swedish massage is a therapeutic treatment that works the soft tissues and muscles to help restore health – creating a calming and balancing effect on the nervous system. The massage lasts one hour and will leave you totally relaxed and restored.

Head massage

Take away your stresses with a wonderfully relaxing Indian head massage. This holistic treatment uses acupressure massage on the head, face, neck and shoulders to rebalance your body’s energies. This therapy stimulates lymphatic drainage and can boost your memory by relieving stress and quieting the mind.

Dermaplaning

Reveal soft, facial skin with a dermaplaning treatment. This is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin, removing vellus hair and leaving you with softer, fresher skin. It can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections.

Gua Sha facial

A Gua Sha facial is a traditional Chinese skincare practice that uses a smooth stone tool to gently massage the face. The technique helps stimulate circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and release muscle tension. Regular Gua Sha treatments can enhance skin elasticity, sculpt the face naturally, and give the complexion a healthy, lifted glow — all while supporting relaxation and inner balance.

Thai foot massage

Thai foot massage is a therapeutic treatment that combines elements of reflexology, acupressure, and traditional Thai massage techniques. By applying pressure to specific points on the feet and lower legs, it helps to stimulate energy lines, improve circulation, relieve tension, and restore balance throughout the body. Deeply relaxing yet revitalizing, this treatment supports overall well-being while leaving the feet feeling light, refreshed, and re-energized

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.” A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

“The secret art of inviting happiness The miraculous medicine of all diseases Just for today, do not anger Do not worry and be filled with gratitude Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people. Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer. Pray these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind”  

The founder, Usui Mikao

What to expect

At Time to Be, all my treatments take place in the beautiful yurt at the bottom of my garden. Surrounded by nature, this peaceful space allows you to completely disconnect from the everyday hustle and bustle of life. It is a space where you can unwind, feel at ease and get the most out of your chosen treatment. I use gentle music to create a calming ambience and one of my Tropic candles for beautiful natural smells, and in the colder months, there is a log burner to keep you warm. All the products I use are Tropic, meaning you can expect delicious smells and soothed skin.
