Why Trauma-Informed Gynecological Exams Matter

Up to 66% of survivors avoid or delay routine gynecological care.Avoiding care due to past trauma leads to delayed diagnoses, worsened health outcomes, and increased long-term costs. Trauma-informed care makes essential screenings like PAPs accessible and safe again.

What’s Included

WHAT DOES TRAUMA-INFORMED PELVIC CARE LOOK LIKE?

In my practice, a routine gynecological visit, such as a PAP smear or STI screening, is never just a medical procedure. It becomes an opportunity for healing, agency, and reconnection to the body. Here's how:

Trauma-informed care means acknowledging that many people, especially women, femmes, and gender-expansive folks, carry personal or ancestral trauma in their bodies. This approach prioritizes consent, transparency, and emotional safety at every step. Before any exam:

We explain what each step entails and ask permission to proceed
You are invited to guide the pace or pause at any time
The environment is calm, private, and free of judgment

Somatic care recognizes that trauma lives in the body, not just in the mind. During pelvic exams, we use grounding techniques such as breath awareness, sensation check-ins, and gentle touch to help you stay present. We may invite you to:

Notice physical sensations without judgment
Use breathing or movement to stay connected to your body
Choose a position that feels physically and emotionally safe

Our Care, Your Consent. Always.

A TRAUMA-INFORMED GUARANTEE

We know how vulnerable pelvic exams can feel, especially if you’ve had a past experience that left you feeling dismissed, rushed, or disrespected. That’s why we offer something different:

You are always in control. You can pause or stop the exam at any time, no questions asked. You’ll know what to expect every step of the way. Your comfort and consent are never negotiable.

Your body is sacred. Your voice matters. And your care should never come at the cost of your sense of safety.

When you’re ready, we’re here.
