Amazing app; it really made a significant difference in my life. I have a lot of anxiety around stomach issues and this app really transformed my thoughts. Even when not using it, my brain would refer to some of the guided scenarios and it would turn down the stress my tummy was experiencing and feel settled.

I am a nurse and mental health counselor. I have been in practice for 30 years. I find this Nerva IBS program to be very helpful in bringing more awareness to my entire physiological body through my mind. The unconscious is definitely at work with this program. This is a body and mind connection that is beneficial.
Thank you Nerva for working this through and bringing it out to share. I will recommend this program for all those who see healing is an internal process, focusing on how we see ourselves. A change in perspective.

Forest
I like the body scan at the beginning of this meditation, and the imagery of it as well. The forest as described evokes a memory of one on an island I spent time on as a teenager. Very effective.

Definitely helps!
I’ve been using the Nerva app for over a year. It definitely calms my gut, making it an important tool in my collection of strategies. It also helps reduce my overall anxiety during stressful times. I try to use it several times a week.

So far this app has been great. I’ve haven’t even completed the first week and already I am seeing more improved movement.. I am also following a FODMAP⚡ diet, which I started about a week or two before using this app. So in combination I think it’s working really good so far. Plus, I am listening to a harmony between the gut and brain meditation on Insight Timer when I go to bed at night. Very happy with my improvement with these three things so far.

To anyone suffering from IBS or anxiety…this program actually works! I was in the middle of the worst flare up of my life so far and started Nerva out of a sense of desperation, figuring it couldn’t hurt and that I had nothing to lose. Six weeks later, my digestion is normal AND my anxiety is the lowest it has been in over a year!!

Great program
I couldn’t “stomach” the idea of taking meds the rest of my life to poo, so I tried this-and life is a lot better! It makes total sense and works!

Absolutely love the Nerva app. I did the program 2 years ago and had amazing results .. began eating foods again that I had avoided for years. So much improvement in gut symptoms , bloating and pain . As an added bonus it helps with my insomnia when I listen right before going to sleep ! I’m back again for a refresher and again it is worth every dollar !

I completed the program a year ago and was shocked how it actually helped me! I can be pessimistic and skeptical and was not convinced of this app, but when you really put the effort in, it actually can help significantly! The biggest way it helped is i no longer get as down on myself when I have a flare up. I would continue the anxiety and stomach pain loop, but Nerva helped to break it.
After a few weeks, I found the repetition between the sessions annoying, but they recently changed some of them and I love it so much more I decided to restart the program. I definitely would recommend this to anyone. If you are considering it, just try it.
It is super expensive though which sucks, thankfully you can get a doctor (I got my dietician) to recommend it and get a significant discount

So far so really good!
I am on day 5 of week 1, and I am already experiencing positive benefits. I especially like the readings/coaching that go along with each day’s hypnotherapy session. Thank you so much!

Great relaxing experience
Sometimes I get so relaxed that I fall asleep but I have noticed overall that I’m sleeping much better and deeper. It has helped me noticeably. I will continue after these 6 weeks are done which is soon.

My Nerva Experience
Nerva has been beneficial for me but as I find it hard at times to relax and lose myself I think following through with the program will be best thing for me to do. I will certainly recommend Nerva to others.

Impressive
Despite good compliance with the Fodmap diet, and doing well, I started getting much worse about 6 months ago. I was very stressed with other health problems. Nerva returned me to much fewer symptoms than I’ve had since my IBS started. Thank you.

I have been struggling with IBS for about 3 years. Medication gave me little relief and the specialists would just tell me I was stressing too much about it without providing any real solutions other than I would have to learn to live with it. I had read about hypnotherapy but when my dietician recommended it I was finally in a financial place where I could try it out. It's not just taking 15-30 minutes out of my day to relax and do sessions. It's reading articles from people who have studied conditions like mine for years and know exactly how I've been feeling. For the first time in years I not only feel understood, but have hope I can improve my symptoms and get back to living normally.

After several doctor appointments and tests about my abdominal pain and digestive issues came back “we couldn’t find anything”, I discovered this app. And I’m so grateful that I did!!! It almost immediately helped relieve the cycle of panic every time I experienced stomach issues. It helped me connect the relationship to my brain and stomach and it’s been the guide I needed to heal. If you’re feeling helpless and stressed about your stomach, I encourage you to try this app. Doing the daily hypnotherapy made me feel less alone about what I’ve been experiencing and hopeful it could better, and it did! After the six weeks, I still go back to the app when I have stomach issues. I’m glad there’s an app like this to help navigate the frustrations of IBS and digestive problems.

Game changer!
I feel so lucky to have a Dr who prescribed Nerva for IBS for me. It is really making a noticeable and much needed impact and has give me a sense of relief as much mentally as physically. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have found Nerva outstanding. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease and this app has helped me enormously. And it stays with you once you have learned how to visualize. Adding more options (visualizations) was a good idea because I found some worked and others didn’t resonate. The woman’s voice is outstanding, just lovely to listen to, one of the best I have heard and I’ve tried lots. Does it eventually cover vagus nerve role?

I started less than a week ago and have already seen a huge improvement. Today I didn’t do the hypnosis before work and I had bowel problems, whereas all the previous days have not had a bowel problem or even really worried about my bowels. Definitely going to do the hypnosis before leaving the house every day now!!

I contracted c-diff & was sick for months and months. Was finally treated medically for the infection- but could not get back to normal. A lot of that was a bi-directional stress of having an accident and being unsure of my BMs. This program calmed me to accept my “new normal” and stop stressing. It combines hypnotherapy with meditation. I strongly recommend it.

My IBS had gotten so bad that it was causing me to have panic attacks. Since starting this program, I feel much better and more educated on what to worry about and it gave me some peace of mind. I take Imodium nearly every day and I was always afraid of the long term risks of this turning in to Crohn’s Disease or some other serious chronic condition. I’m so glad to know everything happening is normal, even if it is terrible. If I have any clients in my counseling practice with this same issue I will recommend this program. It is a great daily mindfulness practice. I cannot say my symptoms are completely gone. I still have to take Imodium most days, but I find that the Imodium doesn’t cause constipation anymore. I also really was thankful that although the program is somewhat pricey, it is a one-time purchase and not an annual subscription.

So far I’m noticing a big improvement!!!
My stomach got the “butterflies” feeling at least 4 times already today and I did the “calming your senses” meditation and they just went away! Normally I’d be sick immediately! I’m also starting to not be as afraid of food.
