Easy to do and enjoyable
Enjoying this and so far have found it easy to put into my routine. I either do it before I get out of bed or when I feel a bit tired after lunch. If I fall asleep during my after lunch session, then I repeat it later in the day.

The program is excellent. I particularly love the readings and am learning a lot about IBS as a condition, which is so helpful. At first I found the hypnotherapy sessions a little strange, but the imagined scenarios change day to day, and with the readings their intent starts to make more sense! I am now enjoying those too. Thank you!

We had a mix up (our error with a mistyped email address) that led to us being charged a years subscription unexpectedly, we contacted via email and received a quick response which was very understanding and a refund was arranged. Very easy to resolve our mistake which seems rare these days. Excellent service!

This app is truly life changing! I have struggling with IBS for years now and cutting food groups out of my diet always left me feeling down. This app has really helped me understand my body more and especially that my personal IBS is actually more linked with my anxiety and stress levels than what I eat. The customer service team are truly excellent and always get back to any questions really quickly! Anne especially has been super helpful with my recent query. I don’t tend to do reviews, but I think everyone needs to know about this app!

I have IBD, but occasionally experience symptoms that could be caused by hypersensitivity due to the multiple bowel surgeries I have had. During a recent flare of symptoms when nothing was providing relief, not even a low FODMAP diet, I tried Nerva and it dramatically improved my symptoms by 75-80%. My diet expanded significantly, my quality of life has improved, and I feel empowered by having additional tools I can turn to for relief and feel less dependent on my physicians. Worth every penny! I am so grateful for this program!

I thought I had tried everything to reduce my IBS symptoms — diet, medicine, supplements, even homeopathy. They all helped, but the symptoms lingered and flare-ups continued. Then I stumbled onto Nerva’s hypnotherapy program. It helped me feel better almost immediately. The sessions soothed my mind and gut and the readings explained the underlying problem. All I had to do was set aside 15-20 minutes each day and at the end of six weeks I had achieved over 80 percent improvement. When I got stuck, Nerva’s empathic and knowledgeable staff were there to help. I benefited so much from the program that I took it again. At my doctor’s suggestion, I’m now listening, breathing and reading twice a day. Sign up and take charge of your IBS. You’re worth it.
Update: It has been more than two years since I started the Nerva program and I am continuing to benefit significantly from it. I am now heavily into their maintenance program which allows me to listen to any of the expanding number of hypnotherapy sessions whenever I want. I also can easily access all of the informative readings about IBS and the gut-brain connection. And just the other day the Nerva staff replied promptly and helpfully to a question I had about their app. Count me a loyal Nerva subscriber for life.

I’ve had IBS for the last seven years and nothing has worked, until I found this app. I’ve had normal gut function for the last 4 months. Now I’m having a bad flare and I’m coming back for more treatment. The soothing hypnotherapy sessions are just wonderful. When I hear her voice I just relax. It’s like a comforting warm cocoon. I look forward to resolving this flare and getting back to normal again. Thank you so much for this! It’s amazing!

I guess I returned to the beginning because into week 5 my pattern of daily participation became irregular. I was letting life demands set me back. So glad to be relearning these daily skills & responses

Great app for digestive issues. The focus is really on IBS but I felt that a lot of my functional dyspepsia symptoms could be better managed using the Nerva app. I have definitely noticed great improvements in my overall mental health.

This app allows you to have a second avenue of decreasing gut symptoms utilizing your nervous system, which I have found alongside changing my food super effective to have fast changes in my symptoms. It is also just great practice, almost like a guided meditation, which will have other health and mental well being benefits. I am grateful it was designed.

I have struggled with IBS and anxiety-related stomach issues for years. This app has truly been one of the most impactful methods for helping me manage my issues. It’s incredible how much the brain and gut are connected, and this process really proves how successful meditation and psychology-based methods are for aiding in IBS relief.
Special shout-out to the amazingly helpful and responsive customer support as well. Anne was fantastic and helped me quickly resolve a billing issue I had with my subscription.

This program has been one of the most effective treatments for my gut sensitivity and has reduced my symptom flares by over 80%. I have endometriosis, and with this comes frequent pelvic pains and abdominal/GI symptoms. At about week 3 of doing Nerva, I started to notice a big improvement in my mental well being, a sense of self efficacy and calm during previously tense or stressful situations. My bowel habits have been so much more consistent, regular and my sensitivity to foods has gone way down. I am no longer hyper vigilant/ fearful of groups of foods for fear of an IBS flare.
As an added note, I am a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist, and approve of the mind-body approach used in this app. The educational readings provided on the chronic pain/stress cycle, GI system, and nervous system is on point! One of the key approaches to treatment is education. When we know what is happening in our bodies and why, it helps ease the anxiety of not knowing/ hyper vigilance to sensations. I now recommend it to all of my patients who have IBS!
