I spent years with chronic guy issues and nothing helped. Nerva has been amazing! Initially I couldn’t feel a difference, but a few weeks after finishing the program my symptoms essentially disappeared. That was a year ago, and my life is so different now. I can’t tell enough people about this incredible program, thank you Nerva!!!

When I first started using this app earlier this year it did wonders for me. My mental health improved as did my sleeping patterns and gut health.
Recently however, they made some changes where the sessions seem to be more of a lecture than hypnotherapy. More words and less time to truly sink into the calming state. Faster paced speech and unable to get “lost in thought”. My symptoms are returning and I am very disappointed in result.

I am greatly appreciative of this program. I love the learning. It has helped me understand my body and how it reacts to every day stresses. Nerva is teaching me to relax and take control of my life. The hypnotherapy is giving me confidence. Also understanding more how breathing exercises help. Thank you for a fantastic program. I look forward to continuing to learn and gain control of my digestive system.

This has been incredibly helpful. Between the sessions, breathing techniques, and readings, I have found numerous ways to help manage my symptoms during flare ups and it has helped reduce the symptoms making them less intense and I’m writing this in the middle of week 3. I’m very grateful my Dr recommended this.

This app has been amazing in helping me manage my IBS. It is extremely effective and I noticed results after regularly listening to the sessions for only a few months. I didn’t make any other lifestyle changes eg food, medication, so I can only attribute the improvements to my gut to doing the hypnotherapy sessions. It is such a huge relief to be able to live without the anxiety that comes with IBS. I love how simple and effective Nerva has been for me. I have recommended it to so many people.

Brilliant for gut issues
This works - need to be patient, keep doing the sessions (which are wonderfully relaxing anyway) and it really brings positive results. Happy 😊

Helpful for IBS and stress
Started doing Nerva and had several huge stress events happen while using it. I did notice that the app helped me physically, but also kept me centred and helped me process the events. I would recommend the app.

I like the sessions very much. So far (I’ve done 6) they’ve been about serious relaxation. I think that’s a good place to start. I will continue. My remark about bookkeeping refers to the fact that I was only completing a trial when the company notified me that I had signed up for TWO year long subscription. I certainly did not do that. So now the credit card company has to deal with them.

A welcome change
The Nerva readings and hypnotherapy sessions are becoming a part of my morning routine. I haven’t yet finished the six weeks but have already started to see positive changes. Thank you Nerva!!!

The app makes it so easy to keep up with and the hypnotherapy audios are so calming and lovely. The education is great too. As a dietitian, I recommend this app to my clients too!

I would give this app 5 stars because I think it has helped me a lot. However, I have had this app for over a year and there has been no new content. We pay an enormous amount of money each year for this app, I would think some new sessions would not be too much to ask for.
Edited: Finally there is new content in this app which allows me to give it five stars. Thank you as this app has been very beneficial to me.

After more than a year of IBS symptoms and every test coming back normal, I decided to give it a try because nothing else was working. I did the sessions almost every day. It took a while, almost the full six weeks but I stuck it out and everything has settled down. I’m still doing the sessions regularly and if I feel any weird pains or symptoms, I do a session and things calm down. Amazing, really.

This program has helped me be more in touch with my symptoms and connect them with anxiety and stress in a way that I hadn’t been before. It’s very helpful and has changed my life! The meditations are really wonderful and the extra readings tie everything together. Well worth the money to get better control of my digestive system. I’m now able to recognize stress pain from real digestive pain which is huge. Calming down my stress and anxiety has removed 80% of my digestive issues. Who knew!!!???

Recently diagnosed with GERD and after reading so much about it was suggested to try this app by a Dietitian. Best advice ever! Having found out my root cause has to do so much with my nervous system. I completed the 6 week program and feel so much better. Took a 2 month break and went back to start it all over again as it really relaxes me first thing in the morning. With the new update the breathing techniques are gone. Those are great please consider adding them back. Breathing exercises have been so good for me as well and it’s the perfect way to end the session to start the day feeling great, motivated and positive.

I had to admit that my symptoms over many months related to some kind of gut dysfunction. This gentle programme if followed consistently makes a big difference (88% in my case) and has had a profound impact on my mental wellbeing and weight also; if you’re up to the brim with cortisol and not digesting your food properly everything else is unsurprisingly thrown out of whack. I feel calmer, better cared for and less inflamed all over. One improvement I would love to see would be the breathing exercises being audibly helpful as well as just visual. A breath, gentle click in time with the heart rate you want to settle to or a tone to show changing from one breath to the other would help you continue to maintain pace when you close your eyes.

I completed the course, and my IBS symptoms have subsided.
I have had the occasional flare-up, and I return to the course when this happens.
The course soothes my symptoms and helps me to reach a state of deep relaxation.
There have been new sessions added since I finished the course. I’m delighted that my initial payment allows me to access these additional sessions.
I mentioned this course to my GP and he took note of it to advise other patients.
I highly recommend Nerva to anyone who is looking for relief from the symptoms of IBS.

I’m really benefiting from my daily sessions with Nerva. The voice is soothing and I know I can do a session any time that things are getting on top me and I’m needing support. Panic over slip ups or loss of control are put in perspective where I’m reminded that they will pass and I am making progress. Thoroughly recommend this course.

No more urgency
I discovered this program about two years ago. It has changed my life. I started having problems with my gut about 10 years ago. I knew something was different. I hope your life changes too.
