Elements of Hartwell

Sneak preview of our new place. Still a work in progress but we are getting there.

As of tomorrow, we are officially working from Hartwell!

Our open day is on the horizon, watch this space...

Alchemy is becoming ELEMENTS

You may have noticed a little change to our page today!

After many years as Alchemy, we're beginning an exciting new chapter as ELEMENTS of Hartwell – Wellbeing • Beauty • Balance.

We're moving into our new permanent home right here in Hartwell, where Stuart and Millie will continue to offer the treatments you know us for, alongside some new ideas we're looking forward to introducing.

We're currently busy getting everything ready and plan to open in early October.

If you're already an Alchemy client, we're not disappearing! It's still us – just a new name, a new home and the start of the next chapter.

Over the next couple of weeks we'll show you around, introduce the new centre and let you know when our new booking system goes live.

Welcome to ELEMENTS of Hartwell.

SOMETHING NEW IS COMING TO HARTWELL

We can finally share our news!

Alchemy is becoming ELEMENTS.

We’re moving to a new home in Hartwell and beginning a completely new chapter.

You’ll still find the familiar faces and treatments you know, but ELEMENTS will be about much more than simply moving Alchemy to a new building.

We’re creating a space for Wellbeing • Beauty • Balance — with new treatments, new services and, in time, other carefully selected therapists and professionals joining us too.

There’s lots happening behind the scenes and plenty more to reveal over the next few weeks.

New name. New home. New chapter.

Welcome to ELEMENTS 🌿

A more balanced you.

Keep following the page — we’ll be sharing the new location, opening details and what’s coming very soon.

📣 WE NEED YOUR HELP!

As you may know we have gone througj some upheval of late. We are currently looking at new premises and a new concept going forward. — and we'd love to hear your ideas!

We're looking for something that reflects what we're creating: a friendly, welcoming place bringing together different treatments, therapies and practitioners under one roof.

We don't want a name that's tied to one particular treatment, because we want the new place to be able to grow and evolve over the years.

A few things we're looking for:

• Something short and memorable
• Easy to say AND easy to spell! 😂
• Friendly rather than clinical
• A name that could still work as we add new treatments and practitioners
• Ideally something with a meaning or story behind it

It doesn't have to contain words like therapy, beauty, health or wellbeing. In fact, some of our favourite ideas so far are just ordinary words that could become the name of our place.

So, over to you...

🤔 What would YOU call us?

Throw your suggestions into the comments — sensible, clever, weird, whatever comes into your head. Sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected places.

And no, before somebody suggests it...

You know that feeling when everyone else seems to be floating through summer and you’re just… carrying everything?

The heat.
The plans.
The kids.
The work.
The emotional admin nobody talks about.

By the time August rolls around, your body is like, “I’m tired, babe. Please put me down.”

A treatment isn’t just pampering, it’s giving your body a moment to stop being the responsible one.

What’s one thing your body has been begging you to slow down on?

We live in a world that glorifies being busy.
But there’s something quietly powerful about choosing to slow down… especially when everyone else is speeding up.

Booking a treatment isn’t indulgent.
It’s intentional.
It’s choosing peace over pressure.
It’s saying, “I matter too.”

And that’s the kind of energy August deserves.

What’s one thing you’re choosing to say ‘no’ to this month?

Flip‑flops, sandals, long walks, hot pavements, August is basically foot bootcamp.

And suddenly you’re like, “Why do my heels feel like sandpaper?”
It happens to the best of us.

A pedicure or callus peel isn’t just about looking cute.
It’s about comfort.
It’s about giving your feet the TLC they’ve earned after carrying you through the chaos of summer.

Honest question, how are your feet coping this month?

You know the ones, the tiny aches that show up when you’re stressed, tired, or pretending you’re fine.

A massage isn’t just a treat.
It’s a conversation with your body.
It’s the moment you realise how much tension you’ve been carrying without noticing.

And the best part? You don’t have to explain anything.
Your body does the talking.

If your shoulders could send you a message today, what would it be?

Between the heat, the SPF, the sweat, the late nights, the BBQs, the cocktails… August skin is basically saying, “I’m doing my best, babe.”

A facial this month feels like hitting the reset button.
It’s that moment where your skin goes from “help me” to “thank you”.

And honestly? There’s something so grounding about letting someone else take care of your face for a change.

What’s your biggest summer skin struggle right now?
