I love the daily meditation and very reassuring for me. I have calmed down and settling into this practice. I have this plan now where before I tried everything the doctors and dietitian have recommended. The only thing that stopped the horrible diarrhea was a steroid type drug that is only a temporary fix. Now I have control of working with and treating and trusting myself. I feel much better. Thank you!

Excellent app
While at first I found it super expensive, it is well worth the price. My sleep got a lot better and my symptoms no longer bother me. Excellent app, I will keep it because it works.

IBS and Lactose Intolerance

Last year for five months, I had chronic diarrhoea. I had loads of tests. Cameras up and down! Everything came back normal in the end. I was so frustrated. I decided to try dairy free. Cutting out all cheese, milk et cetera. Found out myself that I’m lactose intolerance. The chronic diarrhoea stopped within a few days and I thought that was it. But occasionally I’d still wake in the night needing to go to the loo. I’d get caught out when I was out and I was nervous about going out too. So I guessed I was IBS too. I tried Low FODMAP. But it didn’t really help then I saw this app on Facebook and I thought I’d give it a try. I really enjoyed the first seven days so thought I’m gonna give it a good go and I’ve paid for the whole year. It took a good 4 to 5 weeks before I felt it had worked, but I did it every day. And after the six weeks, I felt confident again about going out seeing friends having meals out et cetera. I still can’t eat dairy or at least dairy with lactose in but I can put up with that! I really enjoyed doing the hypnotherapy every day. And I like the repetition of the different hypnotherapy sessions. Now I want them to bring out an app to help with my sleep. :-)
I’m now on day 134. I’m going to try to get to day 365. :-). Thank you, Nerva.

I’m only in the first week of trying Nerva and I decided to give it a try after I realized that my chronic constipation, which I have had my entire life, was simply not caused by what I was eating. I had some success with a supplement that targets vagus nerve as well as a device that promoted a relaxed state. My pelvic floor PT suggested Nerva. I am very tired of this condition ruling my life and creating so much stress and worry all the time. I am also tired of restrictive diets and countless meds and supplements that never solved the problem. This program is already taking the fear out of eating and I feel more at ease. I am hopeful and plan to continue. The program seems well thought out and backed by research and results. Looking forward to seeing where this takes me……Well, I completed the program and now I continue with the sessions each week. I am so grateful. Nerva is amazing! I cannot believe the positive impact on my gastrointestinal issues and my life. Nerva has delivered and I highly recommended!!

I believe I am the one who can free myself . I am afraid . I see I have been so severely depressed and ANXIOUS. I am getting more comfortable in the bathroom. It was a torture. room for so long . I am getting comfortable sitting on the toilet and sometimes I am starting to relax. It is not so much doing I think as relaxing and allowing. It doesn’t happen overnight and that’s ok . My pain is significantly better more days.

Very Relaxing and Informing
I'm in my first week, and have looked forward to each session as it is very relaxing. I wish there were more apps like this for other mental health concerns.
I look forward to reaping the benefits 😊

I’ve had a good experience w Nerva app; doing one meditation each morning, and adding more during times of IBS flare-up. It helps my anxiety and gets me to feel more in control of my intestinal discomfort. I feel soothed and relaxed after most sessions, so believe it is helping my overall well-being.

I was sceptical that this App could work for me. After the first week I was sure that it was working for me and was happy to pay for the full course. My IBS symptoms have virtually all disappeared and I have the added bonus of generally feeling much calmer as a person. It’s wonderful not to have problems with “toileting” and not to have pains in my abdomen - I feel much happier overall. I’m looking forward to the maintenance course to keep things as they are. The readings have given me a much better understanding of IBS than my GP has.

Simple and Effective
After only 5 days, I already feel calmer and more hopeful. The program is really easy to follow and to fit into a busy day because each session is short and simple.

Enjoyed this app and helped me improve my gut-mind therapy. Many of my symptoms have reduced by 70-75 %. I highly recommend this app to folks that have been diagnosed with IBS / EPI or other chronic gut diagnosis. Your mind can be trained to reduce your catastrophic thinking. This program is perfect in keeping you calm and relaxed. For best results make sure you listen every day for the entire program. It’s worth trying. It works for many people with gut-mind chronic illnesses and can help you too. Keep a positive attitude and keep going everyday. Lastly, you can continue to listen daily after your program has ended. It’s a good practice and a gentle reminder you can re-train your mind to think differently and heal your body. The best of luck and success to each and everyone of you who reads my review.

I've been struggling with chronic digestive issues for several years. I've done every type of test -- endoscopies, colonoscopies, studies, doctor-prescribed allergen tests, and more. Nothing could point to a reason for why I've been suffering so significantly. Doing my own research after my most recent doctor's study, I found Nerva. With its free week trial I decided to give it a go. And I must say it's been amazing.
While I am only still in the trial, I feel for the first time in arguably a decade that I am in control of my body, that there is hope for handling my digestive issues. With every session I'm more relaxed about it, feel more empowered, and looking forward to learning more. The visualizations are truly powerful. And the support is top notch.
I ran into an issue and Anna solved it quickly and effectively. She truly cared about me and my experience.
If you or anyone you know is dealing with IBS and digestive issues, I strongly recommend checking out Nerva.

I have been struggling with the battle between my brain and gut for years. I always knew the 2 were connected but never found a solution to heal my brain from making my system flare up and cause me to feel so sick. Many Drs telling me it’s all in my head. Finding this program was like finding the golden ticket. I’m very excited for this journey. I’m only in the beginning stages, but I am already feeling more calm after a session.

At first I saw little change and was sceptical that it would make a difference to my longstanding ibs symptoms. At about week 5 I realised that I needed to combine Nerva with FODMAP and this was when I noticed improvements. FODMAP alone has not had this level of impact so I can only attribute the changes in my bowel to Nerva. I would love to see a similar programme for the bladder!
Feeling much more positive about the future thanks to Nerva.

I made a mistake in setting up my account, and 2 lots of payments were taken from my Credit Card. I contacted Nerva and received an immediate reply from Anne, who investigated, found the problem and the second payment was refunded within days. Excellent customer service.
So far, so good with the treatment, although I have been on holiday and have fallen behind with the plan. I’m only a couple of weeks into it. The articles are very interesting and enlightening. I do think I have managed to calm myself down and not get so stressed.

I am only on day 5 but I’m committing to trying it out for a while to see long term results but I will say I have noticed myself much more relaxed, noticing when i clench my gut. I believe in hypnotherapy as it got rid of my night terrors years ago. The woman’s voice on Nerva is very relaxing and I do enjoy the daily readings too (short but informative and build on each other).

While Nerva hasn’t cured my IBS, I will always need high doses of magnesium, it has greatly reduced my symptoms and discomfort. Even during difficult days pain, bloating and wind are so much better. My anxiety about having a chronic condition has improved as well. I’d love to say, I no longer have IBS or SIBO, but I’m grateful for any improvement.
