Revitalizing the Mind, Body, and Soul
The ESPA Modern Alchemy treatments at Fairmont St Andrews are designed to restore peace, power, and balance in one’s life. Each treatment draws upon ancient ancestral wisdom and incorporates powerful ingredients, accompanied by self-care rituals that enhance the overall experience.

From foot bathing ceremonies to massages using Green Jade rollers, these treatments offer a transformative journey that cleanses, nourishes and purifies the skin, body, and mind.
Immerse in the Harmonising Ritual
One of the signature ESPA Modern Alchemy treatments available at Fairmont St Andrews is the Harmonising Ritual. Lasting for 90 minutes, this deeply meditative journey is inspired by the power and symbolism of the full moon. The massage movements follow a fluid circular motion, creating a sense of tranquillity and harmony.
The ritual begins with a foot bathing ceremony, using healing basalt magma stones and The Grounding Crystals, cleansing and preparing the feet for the upcoming experience. The Anointing Oil is then gently applied to the hands, softening the skin and promoting a state of relaxation. The therapist utilizes the Kansa wand, an Indian tool known for its ability to calm the nervous system, creating a mesmerizing rhythm that brings peace to the mind.

As the journey concludes, the purifying scent of sage gently brings the guest back to their surroundings, leaving them feeling utterly relaxed and liberated.
Awaken the Spirit with the Empowering Ritual
For those seeking an invigorating experience, the Empowering Ritual offers a 90-minute journey inspired by the symbolism of the new moon. Representing an awakening of the spirit and the opportunity for new desires and intentions, this treatment begins with a cleansing foot bathing ceremony. Basalt magma stones and The Grounding Crystals create a soothing aromatic atmosphere, preparing the body for the following stages.
The Anointing Oil nourishes and rejuvenates the skin, while the therapist performs swift massage movements that flow from the left side to the right, harmonizing the body’s energy centres. To enhance the intensity, Green Jade rollers, revered for their empowering properties throughout history, are incorporated into the treatment. As the ritual nears its end, the purifying scent of sage gently brings the guest back to reality, leaving them feeling uplifted and revitalized.
Discover Tranquillity in the Alchemy Tranquillity Ritual
The Alchemy Tranquillity Ritual offers a transformative journey that embraces emotional equilibrium and the natural flow of night and day. This 90-minute treatment commences with the placement of a moonstone in the palm, harnessing the moon’s energy to promote emotional balance. Guests then shower and change into warm cotton pyjamas before the massage begins.

Using a Kansa Bowl and The Nourishing Balm, the therapist focuses on the feet, allowing energy to flow throughout the body. Deep strokes then move across the scalp, jawbone, and behind the ears, promoting relaxation and tension release. The journey concludes with a soothing Shirodhara treatment, where warm oil streams onto the forehead, creating a profound sense of comfort and unity. The purifying scent of sage gently brings the guest back to their surroundings, leaving them feeling uplifted and revitalized.
