Nerva reviews

I received this as an Ad on Instagram, which I’m sometimes sceptical of. After seeing the Ad a few times I looked into the app more and thought I might give it a trial. I’ve suffered with IBS for 9 years since the passing of my mom, and I’ve always known that stress/anxiety shows in me as primarily gut symptoms but also in my throat area, and my thought pattern. My symptoms were so physical that I was suspected of having Crohn’s disease which my dad has. My mom also passed of bowel cancer. My anxiety particularly around travelling was so bad that it was stopping me from driving, being a passenger, going abroad, etc. I tried private therapy for these issues but it was incredibly expensive. The price of the app was less than one session of private therapy so I thought I’d try it. I’m about 6 weeks in, haven’t been 100% consistent or fully utilised the readings and breath things, but I notice a huge difference. A huge reduction in flare ups, and when I am travelling or having a flare up I listen to a session and I genuinely can feel the pain stop until I feel very calm and comfortable. Usually my symptoms are so bad when I’m travelling I have to get to a bathroom straight away, but there have been times where I’ve felt that way, listened to a session and the pain/urge has gone away and I can complete my journey comfortably. It’s incredibly really. I feel I have some of my life back for the first time in years, and it makes me feel optimistic that I can continue improving until I can live ‘normally’. I re-listen to the sessions over and over, and plan to restart the whole treatment from the start to keep building consistency.

I was diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) called microscopic colitis following a colonoscopy and biopsy. I knew NERVA was designed for IBS but I was pretty desperate after six months of unrelenting, 24/7 horrible symptoms (I’ll leave the details to your imagination!) so decided to give it a go. After just two sessions I could tell that something was shifting and almost immediately my symptoms started improving. After two weeks (I did the sessions daily) I was pretty astonished that my symptoms were much improved so I decided to add the CLARIA app to my daily practice as well. Things accelerated even more. It was quite miraculous to me how after nothing really making much difference up until now (steroids and low FODMAP diet had helped a bit) my symptoms were, in such a short time, so much better. I’ve now completed the full six weeks of NERVA and am continuing with the maintenance plan (and still going with CLARIA) and my symptoms are now pretty much completely gone and I have my life back. I am quite astonished. I will hasten to add that I have committed 100% to both programs and do the sessions and readings and other activities exactly as prescribed. I was in a pretty big mess and wanted to give this the best possible chance of working. NERVA might not have been specifically designed for IBD but all I can say is it worked amazingly well for me. Thankyou Dr Simone Peters and all the crew. You have given me my life back and I am very grateful. The support from the people at NERVA throughout the process has been superb too. I know I will continue to use it even though I have now officially completed the course. I hesitated about the cost of the annual subscription when I was investigating it but I just laugh at that now. I will absolutely renew it when it falls due. I want this app in my pocket forever! Brilliant stuff NERVA team - thankyou!

When I started Nerva, my IBS was out of control. I could not leave my house. I had to change my dates for a vacation I planned twice. I felt desperate knowing that I couldn’t live that way. At the time I was not working, and if I had continued on the way I was headed I was not going to be able to work. My life was literally on hold. I was overwhelmed. Not knowing what to do, I started “researching” online about IBS solutions and found Nerva. Knowing that the GI tract is the first place the body manifests stress in most people, I recognized that Nerva could provide a helpful, alternative way to manage IBS. I subscribed immediately, and that day began doing the hypnotherapy sessions. Without changing anything else I was doing, I had results within 36 hours. I have learned techniques and now have skills that I use when I begin to feel like I am starting to have IBS symptoms. As soon as I sense something is amiss, I immediately use the techniques that I have learned through Nerva with unbelievable results. In addition to the hypnotherapy sessions, I have enjoyed the reading provided that has given me more insight into IBS, and some of the things that may instigate IBS flare ups. Prior to starting Nerva, I had already changed my diet. However, I can honestly say with no exaggeration that participating in the Nerva program is the factor that has completely changed my life! Thank you Nerva!!

This app worked impressively well for me. I have struggled with ibs-c for ten years and had become anxious and depressed alongside which often exacerbated it (and vice versa). After completing the Nerva course once I have been almost symptom free for three months. This is really promising. I can genuinely feel my digestion improving in the middle of most sessions on the app, and the maintenance program is well set up if you experience a flare. It’s also been so nice not to have to restrict foods as aggressively. I can eat chickpeas and cheese and lentils again. Magic. Update: after being symptom free for a couple of months I haven’t been using Nerva, so I was really appreciative (and honestly surprised bc this is so rare) when they emailed me to remind me that my automatic renewal was coming up. I got in touch to opt out for now (on a budget, but will come back if/when I get ibs symptoms again). Devina at their customer service was very helpful. Thank you Devina! Just a really solid company and tool, I really hope more people give this a shot. IBS (like so many chronic conditions) can really put you in a place where you don’t want to get your hopes up about yet another intervention and then be disappointed. I know some folks I’ve recommended it to were also skeptical bc they didn’t feel their IBS was related to mood/mental health. I get it, but people the science is there! There is so much that goes on in our nervous systems that we can impact with our concentration. Just give it a try. You don’t have to believe it’s going to work. You don’t have to will it to work. You just have to sit down and listen to the dreamy lady and try to visualize what she says. The program meets you wherever you’re at, even if that’s 99.5% skepticism and .5% openness. And at worst, you’ll get a meditation out of it. Time well spent.
