At the forefront of our work are the patients that we still see every day in our own clinics. By sourcing solutions for them we are in turn able to deliver more specialised testing for other practitioners. Colab Services is therefore a portal for panels and practitioner partnership.
The name Colabs is derived from the idea of a ‘Collaboratory’ connection between specialised laboratories and practitioners; we deliver the tests and the technical support to use these tests for optimal clinic outcomes. Our team have personally hand-picked and developed relationships with the laboratories that we collaborate with to ensure a high standard of testing services, knowledge, and corporate social responsibility. It is important that our values are aligned with the companies we work with.
The more we offer you, the more you can offer your clients.
Our initial test offering came from a focus on the barrier-biome environment; how do we interface and connect with our surroundings? What is likely to present a problem to us, what defences do we have, and how well are these working? The response to these questions then dictates how we then react to challenges that come our way. Ultimately as living organisms on a living planet we want to be able to collaborate well with our surroundings, so there is an enhanced positive connection. Health is ultimately about how well we do this, and with an increased amount of environmental challenges in the world today, maintaining our defences and good foundations of health throughout our body systems has never been more important. It is this interface and immune interaction, the detail of the ‘meet-point’ that inspires us daily. It is the combination of the meet-point concept and collaboration that is the impetus to how Colab Services works. We are all better together, so Colab Services are dedicated to providing a meet-point of collaboration between practitioners, laboratories and other strategic partners.
As Colab Services grew, our team brought new Protocol ideas to the table, so we decided to incorporate these into both our test education offering, delivering 'done-for-you' protocol options for practitioners to run alongside some of our testing. Via education for the Protocols we are fostering networks of practitioners who are finding their 'tribes' to diver deeper with. Being a clinician can be a lonely profession, so we are continually inspired by the collaborations we are able to foster every day!
Colab Service has consistently developed with collaboration from practitioners who have helped inform advancements in our service. One such practitioner was Dr Giulia Quintarelli. Giulia was one of the first practitioners to register with Colab Services and several of the tests we still offer today were flagged to us by Giulia, who was a pioneering Osteopath working in the functional space. It is entirely fitting to have a tribute to Giulia on this website. Giulia will always be a part of our story and we will be forever grateful for her input.
Colab Services delivers a smarter, more collaborative approach to functional testing. What sets us apart is our support at every stage - from selecting the right test to interpreting results with clarity. Whether you're just starting out or refining your practice, we bridge the gap between theory and application through mentorship, clinical guidance, and ongoing education.
