Nerva reviews

I’m not sure if my original but lengthy review posted because the App Store page froze. So here’s the short version. After completing the 7 day trial I liked the program but wasn’t ready to pay for a full year. Devina reached out to me and gave me other options. She was great and now I’m back to complete the Nerva program!

I was a bit sceptical at first and concerned about losing control but I needn’t have worried. After each session, I feel calmer and, more importantly, I have noticed my IBS-D symptoms have reduced a bit. My IBS-D has taken over my life for the last five years but, even though this is only the first week, I feel that I made the right decision, I feel more positive about the future.

This program has made a significant difference in my life. I’m experiencing much less distress and bathroom anxiety. Much more confidence dealing with activities and very little concern about bathroom availability when I go out. For the first time in Many years, I haven’t had a bad day in 5 weeks. I feel less anxiety and more in control. Thanks very much

Nerva is well designed and comprehensive. The readings, the breathing and the hypnotherapy - definitely 5 STARS! I am not a person who thinks I could be hypnotized. But I started the App with a confidence that it would help me. And I did begin to feel better quite rapidly. I may not be cured, but so definitely better!!! Just listening to the soothing voice is a treat!

I’ve never had a consistent meditation practice or anything of the sort, but Nerva has created the space for me to have a regular practice and immediately improved my relationship with my gut. Just knowing that I can impact my physical well-being with mental intervention is reason enough to use Nerva. But on top of that, I get all the benefits of meditating for 15 minutes every day! I saw some immediate improvement in symptoms my first week. Some symptoms returned in the second week, but as I continue with the program, they become less overwhelming. Recommending this to my friends with IBS, especially when elimination diets and medications and supplements haven’t been doing enough to mitigate symptoms. Love the sessions, love the encouragement and research-backed results, and love the support team - they are genuinely invested in your well-being! (Shout out to Anne, who provides 5-star service every time!)

It took me a few weeks but I started to see definite improvement with the IBS symptoms & also with my general mental health feeling calmer. I feel more confident thanks to the knowledge I’m gaining & more insights in how to cope, & what is happening with my body. I’m now about 9 weeks in & during stressful times I can still hear the soothing & relaxing voice from the hypnotherapy in my mind that helps calm me down…which is really comforting & supportive. Would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with IBS. Just wish I’d had it years ago.

I am on week five and started to notice positive changes in this week. I knew that stress always made my IBS worse but could not find a way to reduce it. These sessions are very calming and the calmness sticks with me for quite some time after each session. I’m finding this program is helping me and recommend it if you have tried diets, probiotics, and medication that didn’t seem to make a difference.

I have suffered from IBS my entire life. I have struggled for so many years with trying to get a correct diagnosis, to finding medications that help, to learning my triggers, trying keeping my life functional. I had a tremendous relief of symptoms by going on a gluten free diet nearly three years ago , but still had problems with constant constipation. Nothing helped until I tried Nerva. I have been amazed at the progress I have made! I have been able to have bowel movements either daily or every other day, which is the most regular I have ever been. I had seen Nerva advertised, but thought it sounded too simple to work. My pelvic floor physical therapist mentioned Nerva to me, so I decided to give it a try. I am so thankful I did! I think possibly the combination of the pelvic floor physical therapy and the Nerva program both complimented each other to give excellent results. I would recommend Nerva to anyone.

I’ve tried almost everything I know to alleviate the problems associated with IBS and nothing has worked in the long term. I wasn’t particularly sceptical about trying Nerva as I’ve used hypnotherapy before and I know that it works. Even though I didn’t notice immediate results I religiously stuck to the program for the full six weeks (and beyond actually) and now I am virtually symptom free. I no longer worry when travelling or, in my case, when taking part in triathlons and cycling events which were normally a nightmare for me. Yes, I occasionally have the odd flare up but it’s never as aggressive as previously and they are few and far between. I signed up for the year so I still use it nearly every day. Try Nerva-it worked for me!

I’ve been suffering with IBS for about five years, and I’ve tried various different types of therapies, where some have worked better than others. So far, I’ve been using Nerva for five days, and I’ve already enjoyed two nights of much better sleep, and generally a more relaxed, alert, feeling. Symptoms are already beginning to subside.

I have been using Nerva for 3 months now. I listen every morning. I went from being nauseous and stuck in my house everyday from feeling ill to working a full time job. I recently had a cross country move, sold a house, bought a house, and started a hectic job in my new career and even with that all my IBS symptoms are being kept at bay by using this app. If you are hesitant, just try it. It could never hurt to try something, and mediation/breathing will always do you good. Don’t hesitate to try! I am a success story. I will say that I do still watch what I eat, but only out of preference. I do know what will make me feel bloated, and I still avoid certain foods.

I have tried FODMAP, seen a dietitian , taken medication and none of them helped. Nerva has been the best method that has controlled my IBS. I completed my course of 6 weeks and the results were great. My bloating has reduced, I have normal bowel function and I don’t get anxious when I have a small setback. I remind myself that I am getting better each day, week and month. I have renewed my subscription and will continue using the app. I highly recommend this app as it is a lot cheaper than seeing a gut hypnotherapist. Thank you Nerva

This program is exactly what I needed at this stage of my IBS journey. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. I have been on multiple diets and been treated for multiple diseases, including low thyroid, parasites, EBV, nutrient deficiencies, and most recently, SIBO. I believe the treatment for SIBO in conjunction with coaching and the mind/body work found in this app has given me the greatest improvements to date. It’s important to note that all of these interventions had their time and place in my health journey. They have all “worked” to some degree, but none have been a “cure”. I will continue on my path of healing, taking one step at a time and trying the next right thing. My next step after this is trying an antidepressant, and abdominal physical therapy. Every person has bio-individuality, so what works for one may not have the same effect for another. But I wholeheartedly recommend this app for anyone with IBS, as it is the least invasive and restrictive treatment—you don’t have to cut anything out of your diet or remember to take a complicated regimen of supplements. Taking care of your mental and emotional health is key for anyone with any chronic illness, and I love how this program is comprehensive, addressing all the facets of IBS. Take care and best wishes on your health journey!

I've just about finished a second lot of three-month hypnotherapy sessions, as after the first, I hadn't seen much improvement. This was disappointing as initially, after just four days, my bowel symptoms had improved dramatically. As I have had this frustrating illness for over 25 years, I felt in my case my brain gut communication had probably been out of sync for a long time so I've persevered. Although not completely normal, my body seems to be returning to a more normal pattern and I'm happy to carry on with a third session as I feel more relaxed apart from anything else. I've got nothing but praise for this site as it's well thought out and is giving me improvement I never achieved through avoiding certain foods. So onwards and upwards ! ....

I’ve tried basically every avenue to address my gut issues. Though leaky gut is not something that is formally diagnosed, I have had the horrible symptoms described by it (distention, pain, constipation, gas…) for as long as I can remember. I’ve gone to specialists, gotten endoscopies, went on every diet imaginable (to the point of eating only meaty for a year, worked on my mental health, tried medications, etc. This program lessened my symptoms greatly after a few weeks and made my worries over my gut minuscule compared to before. I can’t recommend it enough.

Just finished my six weeks. I started well the first three weeks doing a session everyday then tailed off a bit - even so i found it to be really good, informative and so relaxing. Her voice is perfect. So happy I found a voice which works for me and I’m not distracted by. It’s like finding a narrator of audible books which you enjoy (which doesn’t happen very often in my case!). I think I must be quite susceptible to the voice as I often feel asleep so I’m not sure how much useful info I took in. Hopefully part of my brain has retained something. Will continue using to ‘top up’ when needed. I might even repeat the last six weeks as I want to know what I’ve missed.

I’ve struggled with IBS for nearly 10 years, and have tried everything under the sun; that is, except hypnotherapy. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first, but WOW was I proven wrong. The brain is powerful and that is exactly what Nerva targets. I’m 10 days in and feel like a new person… highly recommend!!
