“The program itself offered me the opportunity to speak from my soul to someone about things I would not have spoken to my children about and not have spoken to my girlfriends about. The Osara Health Coach Program has made me feel very supported through my journey. I couldn’t thank the PSA enough. It’s probably been the most beneficial thing that my association has ever done for me.”

“It is very easy with a cancer diagnosis to focus on the negative or what the bleak future might look like, but having access to a health coach where you can talk about the next steps, the positives, the things you can do as an individual to get the best outcome from the treatment is invaluable to me and it has made a difference to how I have approached my treatment.”

“Unlike an employee assistance program, which offers general counseling, Osara Health provides specialized knowledge in a field where individuals are at their most vulnerable. Their expertise ensures that the service is both highly specialized and completely confidential.” – Alissa Anderson, Chief Operating Officer at MinterEllison

“Cancer isn’t a journey just for the individual that has cancer, but it’s the cancer journey for everybody around that person, from the spouses to children, parents, grandparents… I started to open up and it gave my employer the opportunity to provide the resources and support that they didn’t know I needed because I didn’t talk about it.”

“The symptom tracking really helped my oncologist, particularly in one instance where I had an infection. With a cancer diagnosis often your infection indicators will go through the roof which can either be prompted by the cancer itself or the treatment. Through the symptoms I was tracking and able to report, my oncologist identified that I actually did have another infection, at which point they were able to put me on antibiotics and that was dealt with. It meant that I wasn’t battling an infection at the same time as battling cancer.”

It was things like documenting symptoms. There was information on if I wasn’t sleeping. Some ways of actually trying to settle yourself down and knowing that (Osara Health is) there gives me a lot of comfort.”
