More than Mesh
A specialist service for those affected by surgical mesh complication
More than Mesh is a specialist service for those struggling after mesh complications; or to help guide you through surgeries, ensuring you prepare your body and support optimal healing. Through personalised integrative Nutritional Therapy, Holistic therapies and Yoga.
More than Mesh is born from my own experiences with surgical mesh complications following Rectopexy mesh surgery in my mid-20’s, 10 years ago.
This led to a long battle to regain my health after being left ‘meshed -up’ by modern medicine.
My mesh complications have pushed me to understand my body and healing capability, both mentally and physically.
To feel that your body is working against you is a very upsetting and stressful situation. I have been there.
I know what is like to be left with no answers to your questions, with no plan to guide you back to health.
To be told your body and life will not be the same as before. I also know what it is like to take the
step into the unknown and trust your bodies innate ability to heal itself. To nurture yourself and to heal.
I turned to holistic therapies when regular healthcare said they had no further options for me (except for further surgeries, of which I was very reluctant to have given my previous experience). I knew that deep down they were not right for my body.
Listening to my body was the best thing I have ever done.
I may not have the same body as I did before my first surgery, but I have one that I now know how to support and care for properly.
I know that if I hadn’t gone down this route I would be in a very different situation to where I am now.

Testimonials
“
I started to see Alex earlier this year as I wasn't getting any help from doctors and found medication to have such nasty side effects. I had mesh bowel surgery in 2008 and things haven't gone so well for me or my bowel . I have several autoimmune issues and Alex has taken me under her wing to try to help get my issues under control. She organised the tests I needed and after hours of hard work connecting my symptoms and results worked out a plan to set my balance back on track
Alex gives me lots of support and everything is detailed in the plan and App so I can refer to it when ever I need. She even wrote to my GP when my test results indicated my thyroid medication needed to be altered. She talks you through your results and explains why she is recommending the diet and supplements in a way that you understand.
Alex gives links to recipes and places to buy the recommended foods as well as a step by step guide to the supplements and times to take them. She thinks of everything while you focus on getting your health back on track.
