I feel that the hypnotherapy scripts only mention bowel movements, gas and bloating. I actually have none of those - i have GERD & silent reflux/ stomach discomfort but not the symptoms that are mentioned over and over.. maybe you could make it less specific for those of us who dont have IBS
on the upside the scripts are very nice and read at a nice pace and the voice is very soothing

It has to update the hypnosis. After some months oh listening to “everything is getting better and better “, it would be normal to listen “ everything is WELL now”. That way my mind would really believe that I am WELL and HEALED. Other than that,…

It has to update the hypnosis. After some months oh listening to “everything is getting better and better “, it would be normal to listen “ everything is WELL now”. That way my mind would really believe that I am WELL and HEALED. Other than that, it’s a good app.

Missing verbal parts of the hypnotherapy
I am hard of hearing and I am tone deaf on the lower frequencies, so as might be expected I am missing critical pieces of the audio.
As the Nerva program sets out that the hypnotherapy is the backbone of the program, can this be overcome?

This is the only personal problem that I can see, but I am sure that I am not the only applicant with this problem?

Payment suggestion?
I enjoyed the trial of this program, but you advertise its only for 6 weeks. I’m not sure why you charge $149.99 for 12 months at a time. Maybe you could add an option where you charge only for the 6 weeks to complete the program. Then if someone…

Maybe you could add an option where you charge only for the 6 weeks to complete the program. Then if someone wanted to continue it they could select a second option for 149.99 for 12 months instead. Just a thought.

Took a bit of investigating to move to a monthly plan instead of an annual plan after the 7 day trial. If you are interested you’ll need to reach out via the support line prior to day 7. The real test will be after I complete the 6 week course. I’m currently on week two. However, I’m back to eating gluten with no pain.

Great program for IBS
Good education component, deep breathing session & hypnotherapy session daily. It seems to be making a difference to me so will gladly continue.

It is a pleasure to write a review of the Nerva App as I can say truthfully it has revolutionised my life. I am 75 years old and have suffered from IBS for a long time and tried every possible remedy with sometimes a small degree of success but none has had the impact of Nerva. I have been using the app for approximately 6 months and have seen a consistent improvement and a significant reduction in the use of anti diarrhoeal medication. My diet has improved and I am now eating a greater variety of food as previously in an attempt to manage my bowel condition I restricted my choice of vegetables in particular. I had in the past followed the FODMAP diet with a modicum of success. I am now more confident in using public transport and staying away from home for holidays and visits to family. I used to dread leaving home as I constantly worried about finding a toilet and the possibility of faecal incontinence as my bowels sometimes moved up to nine times a day. The only small comment I would make is that I would find a bell or other sound helpful to signify the end of the breathing exercises. Thank you for your work into this distressing condition.

Wanting more for a bad day
I see the benefits of this app, it’s really good it is. The only fault i have is that if you want more resources you can’t get it, all you have is the 15 minutes a day and that’s it.

Helpful + great customer service
App is good. The only thing that annoyed me was how difficult it it to cancel a trial, thought I had but still got charged for an annual subscription. But THANKS to customer service assistant Gea for helping me and refunding the amount :)

I have only been doing the hypnotherapy for 5 days now. May be, it’s a bit early to tell wether it is improving my symptoms just yet. I have noticed that I feel more relaxed after each session which is always a plus. I will definitely continue each day with the session and get back to you in a month.

In 2021 I enrolled in a 90-day program from Nerva to help with my IBS symptoms, with great results. Even after the 90-day subscription ended, my IBS remained largely under control for almost 2 years, which was wonderful. Recently my symptoms have worsened again due to stressful life circumstances, so I was hoping to re-enroll for another 90-day program to help with this acute flare-up. However, the only option I could see was the $150 yearly subscription. What happened to the shorter subscription options? This was such a great tool for me, but I don’t need another annual subscription to worry (or forget) about. I’m sure I’m not the only person who would rather have the option to re-enroll as needed, even if it technically costs a little more.

Wish there was a monthly subscription option
A year subscription is such a big commitment and payment especially when it sets the expectation that it will be 4 weeks before you see results. I wish there was a monthly option.

I love the daily meditation and very reassuring for me. I have calmed down and settling into this practice. I have this plan now where before I tried everything the doctors and dietitian have recommended. The only thing that stopped the horrible diarrhea was a steroid type drug that is only a temporary fix. Now I have control of working with and treating and trusting myself. I feel much better. Thank you!

Good program rooted in research and data. Found it effective.
Pricing strategy could be improved with a yearly subscription. If you have any flares after the course of treatment and your 3 months is up, you need to re-purchase the entire program again. IBS/IBD flares happen and it would be nice to not have to pay again to access their toolkit if you flare beyond the 3 months.

Not only are my IBS symptoms starting to improve, but so is my sleep. I monitor my sleep nightly with my Apple Watch, and I’ve noticed that on the nights I use the Nerva app and listen to the hypnotherapy audio, I have more deep sleep. I’m looking forward to finding out if Nerva can help my IBS long time. I am following the program faithfully so we will see. I’m gonna be at four stars only because I’ve only used it for a week. If I rated the effectiveness for just the past week, I would give it five stars.

I was diagnosed as having non-celiac gluten sensitivity about a year ago. Removing gluten was great for me and my symptoms went away for about a year. Until they came back. A month later, an ER doctor told me I was perfectly healthy, had IBS, and was given a pill that I could take for 1-2 weeks to control my symptoms. What was I going to do after then? In my despair, I started googling and found Nerva. I can’t compare it to any other program, but I can say I now have my health back, and can even tolerate gluten again!

Day 5
Only on day 5 and I can feel a shift in my body and my health. I feel calm and not freaked out when it’s time to eat. Years of struggle, sadness and hating my body are melting away. Thank you so much.

It’s been a year since I did the six week Nerva programme and I continue to incorporate more and more into my diet. To the point where I’d say I eat whatever I want now (besides meat by choice). I am constantly raving about this app to anyone who will listen. I feel so much more relaxed and it really has changed my life.

Common questions
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?
Members recorded them on their own phones and shared them with Nerva. They are unscripted. What each person describes is their own experience; individual results vary.
How much does Nerva cost?
The offer shown before you subscribe includes your price, any trial, renewal and cancellation terms. These can differ by country and purchase route. Check your current offer or visit Nerva’s support center for subscription help.
