I received this as an Ad on Instagram, which I’m sometimes sceptical of. After seeing the Ad a few times I looked into the app more and thought I might give it a trial. I’ve suffered with IBS for 9 years since the passing of my mom, and I’ve always known that stress/anxiety shows in me as primarily gut symptoms but also in my throat area, and my thought pattern. My symptoms were so physical that I was suspected of having Crohn’s disease which my dad has. My mom also passed of bowel cancer. My anxiety particularly around travelling was so bad that it was stopping me from driving, being a passenger, going abroad, etc. I tried private therapy for these issues but it was incredibly expensive. The price of the app was less than one session of private therapy so I thought I’d try it. I’m about 6 weeks in, haven’t been 100% consistent or fully utilised the readings and breath things, but I notice a huge difference. A huge reduction in flare ups, and when I am travelling or having a flare up I listen to a session and I genuinely can feel the pain stop until I feel very calm and comfortable. Usually my symptoms are so bad when I’m travelling I have to get to a bathroom straight away, but there have been times where I’ve felt that way, listened to a session and the pain/urge has gone away and I can complete my journey comfortably. It’s incredibly really. I feel I have some of my life back for the first time in years, and it makes me feel optimistic that I can continue improving until I can live ‘normally’. I re-listen to the sessions over and over, and plan to restart the whole treatment from the start to keep building consistency.

I was diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) called microscopic colitis following a colonoscopy and biopsy. I knew NERVA was designed for IBS but I was pretty desperate after six months of unrelenting, 24/7 horrible symptoms (I’ll leave the details to your imagination!) so decided to give it a go. After just two sessions I could tell that something was shifting and almost immediately my symptoms started improving. After two weeks (I did the sessions daily) I was pretty astonished that my symptoms were much improved so I decided to add the CLARIA app to my daily practice as well. Things accelerated even more. It was quite miraculous to me how after nothing really making much difference up until now (steroids and low FODMAP diet had helped a bit) my symptoms were, in such a short time, so much better. I’ve now completed the full six weeks of NERVA and am continuing with the maintenance plan (and still going with CLARIA) and my symptoms are now pretty much completely gone and I have my life back. I am quite astonished. I will hasten to add that I have committed 100% to both programs and do the sessions and readings and other activities exactly as prescribed. I was in a pretty big mess and wanted to give this the best possible chance of working. NERVA might not have been specifically designed for IBD but all I can say is it worked amazingly well for me. Thankyou Dr Simone Peters and all the crew. You have given me my life back and I am very grateful. The support from the people at NERVA throughout the process has been superb too. I know I will continue to use it even though I have now officially completed the course. I hesitated about the cost of the annual subscription when I was investigating it but I just laugh at that now. I will absolutely renew it when it falls due. I want this app in my pocket forever! Brilliant stuff NERVA team - thankyou!

Questions about Nerva
What the reviews don’t cover.
Does Nerva work?
Nerva is a self-guided gut-directed hypnotherapy program that works with the gut–brain connection. Reviews describe individual experiences; clinical research looks at outcomes across a group. Explore Nerva’s published research to understand the evidence and what was measured. Individual results vary.
What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?
Some members discuss bloating in their reviews, including how it affected everyday life and their experience with the program. Read the selected reviews mentioning bloating. These personal experiences cannot predict your own results.
Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
Nerva focuses on the gut–brain connection, while a low FODMAP diet focuses on dietary triggers. They are different approaches. Read more about low FODMAP and Nerva, and discuss dietary changes with your dietitian or clinician.
What is it like to fit Nerva into a daily routine?
