As a level 4 cancer rehab exercise specialist, personal / fitness trainer and Senior Occupational Therapist with over 20 years experience each, we understand that the one size fits all approach to exercise does not work.

We are proud to be the first company in Essex, to provide regular, ongoing, specialist exercise classes specifically for those diagnosed with cancer. Whether your goal is to get back to work, to feel confident in carrying out everyday activities, to return to your fitness training, or you just want the social support that a group exercise class can bring, we guarantee a happy, fun, positive, friendly environment for everyone, no matter what level of recovery you are at.

Together we will help you improve your strength, range of movement, energy levels and mental well-being along with words of encouragement and support from fellow members. We will help you feel more like you again and gain some control back in your life.
Classes are available for all ages, sexes, abilities, levels of recovery, shapes and sizes.

Miranda Blackstone-Cobbe

Senior Occupational Therapist

Miranda chose the career of Occupational Therapy having helped nurse her father through 30 years of Parkinsons Disease and supported her family with all the issues that arise when caring for a sick relative. She has a vast range of knowledge covering most medical conditions having worked in the NHS as a Senior Therapist for many years.

Miranda runs her own company called Home Sweet Home Reablement which, through the provision of equipment, rehabilitation and care, enables the elderly members of the population to remain in their own homes and live as independently as possible, for as long as possible.

Miranda prides herself on looking at the person, not the illness and always personalises any treatment plan to the individual, ensuring it works for them. Above all Miranda feels the most important qualification that she has achieved is the understanding of people and their needs, which she has gained through life experience and her work.
