About Dr. Simone Peters

Dr. Simone Peters was working with Monash University when she became aware of the potential for psychological therapies to improve gastrointestinal symptoms in people with gastrointestinal disorders. She quickly made it her mission to gain greater research insights into this field and completed her PhD examining the role of gut-directed hypnotherapy as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Her data have shown it to be of similar efficacy to that of the low FODMAP diet, the first line dietary therapy applied in routine practice.

She is the creator of the Nerva gut-directed hypnotherapy program.
