It’s just my third day, but I have been struggling with chronic gut pain for 12 years and this is absolutely the best thing I have found. It is so well thought out, full of so much good information and has me hopeful for the first time in a long time.

I’ve even using this for only 5 days and I’ve already noticed improvement. I feel lighter, I have more clarity, my energy levels improved & even my vison has improved, I’ve had gut issues for over 10 years & been through it all with not alot of success with doctors & treatments.. lve been using this twice a day I’m very exited to continue with this and get more great results! What a relief!
Man… this actually works! I really wish it wasn’t so expensive, I would keep using it daily, but worth the price to deal with a bad flare.
After 5 sessions my symptoms began to decrease. I am new at it but so far I am very impressed. The educational component is also very additive.
Only using the trial currently and done only a few sessions so haven’t see a noticeable difference but nice relaxing seasons see how it goes
It puts you in a state of total control and calmness, you feel like you can control your IBS! I would definitely recommend.

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…
I like this a lot. I did not know what to expect. I hoped it was not something for “free spirits “ like yoga meditations, etc.

I signed up for Nerva after seeing it advertised on Instagram and having a particularly stressful few weeks with terrible digestive problems. I cannot believe how effective it’s been. It’s probably been 4-6 weeks since I finished the program (I completed all but one day!) and I hardly think about my stomach at all now. I hardly feel bloated or sick after eating. It’s actually quite life saving. And to have to pay only $100 for this treatment is amazing. I’m on the maintenance plan now and I’m finding the kind of ‘forced’ calm down time super useful to do a few times a week. Thank you so much to Monash for creating this.
I’m really enjoying the sessions and can feel my entire body relax in a way that I haven’t had access to before. I’m excited to keep going!
Its the first week, and i have yet to achieve significant results but now I have hope and a process. That has already assisted my mental health. Thanks.

Nerva’s customer support is the best I have ever received, Anne really helped me when I needed to restart the program at no extra charge for me & was very empathetic of my situation. I’m so grateful to be on this Nerva journey & always looking forward to my sessions. The only thing I’d say is that it’s a bit harder to stay on track than expected, so get a buddy or support system to help you out to continue making progress 🫶

I was suffering with a really bad case of stress induced acid reflux with a lot of discomfort which was taking over my life. I had tried all sorts of diets and supplements and nothing seemed to be helping. I stumbled across the Nerva app and,knowing my symptoms were stress related,I decided to give it a go. It has honestly been amazing and,whilst I still feel acidy sometimes,my physical symptoms have almost disappeared. I listen every morning before I get up and I’m now on week 11 and continuing to feel better week by week. I would really recommend this to anyone having IBS or stress related symptoms,the brain gut link is totally fascinating!
I love how the program explains the rational behind each step it takes you through, so you can understand the bigger picture behind it all. It’s setting you up for long term success, not just a Band-Aid approach. The hypnotherapy is easy to follow…
I love how the program explains the rational behind each step it takes you through, so you can understand the bigger picture behind it all. It’s setting you up for long term success, not just a Band-Aid approach. The hypnotherapy is easy to follow and I’m finding it a lot easier to relax into, given that I have ADHD & trouble focusing. I’ve along just started the program but I’m really enjoying it already.
Highly recommend. I feel seen, heard and supported with my IBS condition in a way I’ve never experienced before. I am in a flare up currently and treating it solely with naturopathic methods, diet, stress reduction and this app. It’s all working well…
Highly recommend. I feel seen, heard and supported with my IBS condition in a way I’ve never experienced before. I am in a flare up currently and treating it solely with naturopathic methods, diet, stress reduction and this app. It’s all working well and I’m feeling better and better each day. So so grateful.
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’d had since my IBS started. Thank you.
I can say after using it for a couple weeks it was a great experience. Has helped with my IBS significantly and would recommend to other people. Only downside I see is that it does cost a lot for something that I would be restarting course…
I can say after using it for a couple weeks it was a great experience. Has helped with my IBS significantly and would recommend to other people. Only downside I see is that it does cost a lot for something that I would be restarting course essentially after 6 weeks. Would still recommend to try it out if you’re struggling with IBS.

I’m a 70% auditory learner 15% visual/kinesthetic and have been noticing my body more. Especially through getting me to notice then start controlling the butterfly’s instead of them fluttering there all day for no reason and giving me dramas for no reason. I’ve been diagnosed for 1 year. I’m 40. CIS Male. 79kg. Fit looking but not fit. Bearded. Married. Father. Manager. Experiencing GOS FODMAP onion / garlic / mushroom reaction from about <1g ingested for over 3 years. After 9 days of doing every session, I’m noticing my body and controlling my whole self better and bring more self aware and present. My gut still experiences the same reaction physically but I can now manage to control the pain level in my gut and just register it… not just stress out and react to it which leads to continued spirals which only lead one way… and it’s NOT up. Nerva Definitely helps slow down my 7/10 (self-rated) ADHD brain too. I’m all about this system. Thanks Nerva. Thanks for the 7 day trial period too. I decided on day two I would pay it. It was that good for my whole body at just the second time. Only feedback would maybe be a speed setting. It’s a little slow… but I know that’s the idea. So… not really any feedback, except I’m just saying that I am too impatient and wanted to know what colour the book is in w2ep2. lol.

I wish I had found this ten years ago. I’m an anxious person and I carry it in my stomach, and my “sensitive stomach” turned into full on IBS during the pandemic. I kept thinking I was falling asleep when I used the app and thought it was weird that I kept waking up whenever she prompted it in the dialogue, but now I realize I’m actually going into a meditative state during my sessions. I don’t think about Nerva much, but I think that’s the point. I’ve noticed my flares don’t make me spiral like they used to, and I’m just generally less anxious and my body keeps feeling better and better. If you’re considering using this, DO IT
I didn’t realise how much tension my body was holding until I began using Nerva. I’m finding the experience extremely worthwhile and it has immediately made a positive impact on my health and well-being.
I relax when I take slow, deep belly breaths (diaphramic breathing). I would like to see that incorporated into the hypnotherapy. It is jarring to hear “relax the muscles of the skull” because the skull doesn’t have muscles. I change it to “scalp”…
I relax when I take slow, deep belly breaths (diaphramic breathing). I would like to see that incorporated into the hypnotherapy. It is jarring to hear “relax the muscles of the skull” because the skull doesn’t have muscles. I change it to “scalp” when I’m listening. I can’t relax my ears or nose, but I definitely need to relax my jaw and tongue. I would like to see that incorporated. Those additions would make a difference for me! These suggestions were written in the first few weeks as feedback to the authors. The program is helping me feel better. I am more relaxed in general and don’t obsess about IBS. My voice is stronger and I’m even gaining weight!

I wanted to share my experience using Nerva, the guided hypnotherapy app for IBS, and I must say, it has been a game changer for me. As someone who has struggled with IBS for years, and after just a few sessions, I began to notice a significant improvement in my symptoms. The app is easy to use and the hypnotherapy sessions are very calming and effective. I highly recommend Nerva to anyone looking for a natural and non-invasive approach to managing their IBS symptoms. Thank you, Nerva, for creating such a wonderful tool 🙏🏽♥️
Easy to use. Very restful. Yes and relaxing. Enjoy the the trip through the body. Sometimes I get so relaxed I don’t remember the last part till I’m brought back and and told to open my eyes.
