Nerva reviews

My dietitian recommended this program as part of my journey to control my gut health. I have completed my first week. I was sceptical about how this would work. However, I find myself looking forward to each morning’s session. I have even gone to the archive to do a second session in my day. I appreciate the readings that explain how the hypnotherapy can connect my feelings about my gut to reducing the stress and anxiety in my brain and vice versa. Thank you for reassuring me when I think I may be doing this incorrectly. It was as though you were reading my mind and reduced my anxiety. I am grateful.

I’ve suffered approximately 50 years with tummy problems and have seen numerous gastroenterologists with no improvement. I was told when I was at primary school I had a spastic colon, now called ibs. I was having far more bad days than good, so I decided to give this a go, what could I lose? I paid for 3 months access and made time in my day for the readings and meditations. The difference has been amazing! I still have flares, but no where near as often. It is quite expensive and I couldn’t warrant paying for another 3 months. The meditations are repeated and after the 6 week programme I chose the ones I liked. I still use the techniques that are explained at the start of the meditations. I wish there was a way I could access the meditations without the huge outlay, a lower price with limited access for example. Well worth the time and money for the 6 week programme, but not worth it after that.

Due to IBS I’ve been on a gluten free diet for about 8 years & low fructose for about 5 years. In the final days of the 6 week Nerva program I started trying small amounts of foods with gluten, garlic or onion. I’m delighted to report that I had hardly any symptoms. This is a game changer! Thank you to the researchers, developers & support team for improving my quality of life.

I have had stomach issues since 2016 and Nerva is truly one of my comfort tools. It helps me navigate through waves and find peace during the ups and downs of sensations. I never officially committed to doing it daily, but just decided to start again from scratch so I will be excited to see how consistent use fares. I’m really starting to look forward to it as part of my daily routine :) Between the actual hypnosis and the education that comes along with it, Nerva is truly a gift. I’m so thankful it exists!

For decades I’ve suffered IBS symptoms which became much worse due to anxiety about the pandemic. I’ve now had two three month subscriptions to Nerva, I felt so much better after the first but wanted to be sure my brain and body really had got the hang of the teaching. I’m lucky to have plenty of time and have done one of the sessions nearly every single day over the six months. I was extremely skeptical when I started , I just didn’t believe in hypnotherapy. After a few weeks I realised that despite this, it appeared to be working. I’m so grateful to all the team who created and deliver this app. Thanks to Anne who has helped me sort out minor tech problems.

It’s been nearly two years since I did the program and I only go back to it for occasional flare ups and I’m having my teenage daughters go through the program now. I love the guided meditation feel of the sessions, that I finish feeling relaxed and confident in my progress. I also really love the readings. I wasn’t sure that I’d learn much, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the information presented. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family.

I have completed the program and overall I am pleased I took it My main benefit comes form gaining a better understanding of my gastrointestinal link to my brain and the exercises to connect with them I didn’t reach the level of hypnosis that I hoped for and remained fully awake during the sessions James Kearns

I used to feel like I had to live my life based on my GI symptoms. My anxiety would spiral out of control as my gut symptoms did. Thats until I came across Nerva. I got so much benefit from it, I started recommending it to my patients with IBS. They all echo the same thing - “I feel like I have a better handle on my symptoms, especially mentally”

My dietician recommended trying Nerva to help with IBS discomfort. I was a little skeptical because I wasn’t sure if it would actually work, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. It only takes about 15 min a day and I find it helps so much- not only with discomfort, but also anxiety caused by IBS. I’m in the maintenance phase now and I find I feel better when I continue doing the app everyday. It took me a little to find the best time for me to do it because it’s so relaxing that sometimes I’d fall asleep if I did it at night. I have found the morning works best for me- just while still in bed with AirPods. I like the woman’s voice- far better than apps with mindfulness like Headspace. I’m surprised my GI dr doesn’t recommend this because it’s been more helpful at managing pain than meds she has prescribed and has no bad side effects. I plan to tell her how helpful it is at my next appointment! I would highly recommend this app and have already to friends. I recently had an issue with the app freezing and the customer service answered very quickly and are very friendly. It turned out there was just a brand new phone update my phone hasn’t done automatically yet. I love that they are available to help even around the holidays!

I’m in week two of the Nerva programme for alleviating IBS. The hypnotherapy sessions are deeply relaxing, I particularly like the voice of the person conducting the sessions - it is gentle and reassuring. After each session so far I’ve felt deeply relaxed and I’m hopeful that the suggestions contained in each session will help to change my gastro-intestinal responses to somewhere near “normal” therefore enabling the IBS symptoms to fade away.

I have struggled with IBS-C for several months. Tried all kinds of Mg supplements and fibers to avoid prescriptions. I started this program and missed a couple days so re-started it and literally it helped quickly. Today is day 5 of this writing and I have had consistent response every day. I am not taking any supplements or laxatives either. This is the ultimate solution for me. Highly recommend.

I started using Nerva during a really bad phase: depression, anxiety and IBS. Couldn’t believe how much things changed for the better after 2-3 months of regular use. Now almost one year later I’m still using it few times a week for maintenance! Only wish there were more sessions added but no other complaints! Thanks a lot Nerva!!

So far, it’s only been a few days I love the sessions where I can relax and listen. I do have a lot of anxiety because I haven’t felt well since Covid 2 weeks ago. Irritable bowels and that creates a viscious loop. I don’t know what to eat, can’t stop going to the bathroom, my stomach hurts and I’m scared. I’ve never experienced this before. Christmas is in a couple of days and so can’t get a hold of any of my doctors. I feel all alone.

I completed the 6-week Nerva program and it worked for me. I was skeptical but desperate to try anything to ease my IBS symptoms. I've had IBS for 20+ years but my symptoms have gotten much worse in the last 5 years. I did the Nerva program diligently for 6 weeks. I saw minor improvements in the first 4 weeks but things are noticeably better since the final two weeks. My IBS symptoms have reduced dramatically - I don't have to rush to the bathroom, I'm not in pain, and I can eat most foods again. I feel like I can live my life again.

I have had wonderful success with this app. Nothing relaxes me more or attends to my sometimes debilitating symptoms. I looked forward to my sessions daily. Calming voice, excellent breathing exercises, and the guided scenarios are so vivid in my head. Unfortunately, it has become so expensive. It has been priced this out of any range that I can afford. Paying close to $80 for three months of maintenance when I only use the app occasionally is outrageous. Not being able to access previous sessions, that I paid for, is also not customer friendly. I’m really disappointed because the maintenance program costs more than the original program, but used way less often. I have been a loud cheerleader for this app and have discussed the app with my doctor who was thrilled I had so much success. I have also recommended it to friends. Until it is more affordable, I must find other, less effective ways of managing my symptoms. This is so disappointing and seems like bad business practice. Monthly payments of around $15 would be more reasonable. I can’t in good conscience recommend something to my friends that is so expensive.
