Our midwives are passionate about providing personalized wellness and gynecological care that gives you time to ask questions, understand your body, and get the support you need.
From routine screenings to sexual health, hormones, fertility, and everything in between, our care is built around you, your needs, and your choices.
Our midwives are dedicated to providing trauma-informed, queer and trans-affirming care rooted in consent, body autonomy, and respect. We take our time, explain what we’re doing, and make sure you remain in control of what happens with your body throughout your visit.
Clients are encouraged to guide their own care in whatever way feels most comfortable — including choosing positioning, participating in exams, placing their own speculum, self-guiding Pap collection, or stopping or changing an exam at any time. Our goal is to make healthcare feel collaborative, respectful, and truly centered around you.
Well-person care should be more than a quick exam and a checklist. We offer personalized, whole-person care with time to ask questions, understand your body, and explore what you need at every stage of life.
From routine physical exams, Pap and STI screening, and breast/chest health to hormone and cycle concerns, fertility and birth control, sexual and reproductive health, lab testing, and specific concerns when something just doesn’t feel right — there’s space for all of it here. We tailor each appointment to your desires and needs.
We take our time, request consent at every step, talk through the process, and offer options such as self-guided speculum insertion and Pap collection when desired—creating a space where preventative care can feel safer, more accessible, and more respectful.
Our approach is trauma-informed, trans- and queer-affirming, gentle, and centered around each person's comfort and autonomy.
Testing and provider costs are covered through community donations, allowing care to remain completely free.
Pap Smears for Queers is a free community health clinic held annually at Dyke Day LA since 2021. Our team of queer and allied midwives, doulas, and sex educators comes together each year to provide free cervical cancer screenings in a cozy, private tent right in the middle of the festival.
No cold exam tables or stirrups are ever used. Instead, we give you a cozy blanket and we use a comfy bed.
If you'd like to help keep Pap Smears for Queers free and accessible, please consider making a donation. Your support helps cover Pap testing and provider costs for future community clinics.
