What happened when I got on stage (it’s cringe worthy!)
So, I did a really scary thing on Thursday May 4, 2023.
I got up on stage and told my story about three absolutely CRINGE events in my life—
Three farts. One in yoga class. One in front of the pastor. One during a pap smear.
And, they were all connected by a mantra. (Want to see the story? Click here for the 10-minute cringe-worthy experience).
But it is the third story that is the message of my blog today.
Because getting a pap smear is traditionally thought of as a cringe-worthy experience all in itself, and it’s my mission to change that for women.
At Ultra Primary Care, we aim to make these difficult things easier, whenever we can. And that includes pelvic examinations and pap smears.
While we can’t avoid the stirrups and traditional “table”, we have made the environment at inviting as possible.
Instead of sterile tile floors, you get a warm and inviting carpet.
Instead of vinyl exam room chairs, you get comfy sofas, a view of the star, and a glass of water.
Instead of fluorescent lights, you get chandeliers.
And instead of a rushed, “herding cattle” experience, you get a relaxed, peaceful moment of self-care.

A beautiful chandelier and NO fluorescent lights!
