I had IBS ever since I was a kid anxiety was a huge trigger for me and it makes it harder that would be times where I just wouldn’t eat anything just so I can get through my day I would feel so sick all the time, and I almost had to be put on a G.I. tube just because I just couldn’t eat. They have tried putting me on a low fold map diet with no success and I would have like good times world start to feel better, but then I would relapse back. I haven’t been even using this app for a week, but by strictly following it, I’m starting to notice I’m starting to be a lot more calm, and I can start eating food without having the panic attack before in the panic attack after I’m excited to see how I feel when I finish the program. I recommend people who have IBS and anxiety/depression to give this app a shot. Of course we are all different, but with an open mind, I think this app is gonna help a lot of people.

Noticeable change within 3 days
I’ve been using Nerva for a week and noticed within days I’ve been sleeping better. I was skeptical at first but it’s easy to use and worth it.

I’ve only been listening to the hypnosis sessions for 5 days and I do believe they will eventually make me less stressed about my symptoms. They are so very relaxing. On a scale of 1-10 my symptoms are a 10 and today I learned how to “turn down my dial”. I’m feeling pretty hopeful. Also, the woman on the tape has the most beautiful, soothing, pleasant voice.
Now I’m on week two. I’ve had other issues this week (life happens) but I made it my business to listen to the tapes every day! I’m glad I did. I’m not sure exactly what they are doing yet to my gut but I do know they give me a feeling of calm while I listen and also a feeling of accomplishment for having listened 🙏

This program is exactly what I needed at this stage of my IBS journey. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. I have been on multiple diets and been treated for multiple diseases, including low thyroid, parasites, EBV, nutrient deficiencies, and most recently, SIBO. I believe the treatment for SIBO in conjunction with coaching and the mind/body work found in this app has given me the greatest improvements to date. It’s important to note that all of these interventions had their time and place in my health journey. They have all “worked” to some degree, but none have been a “cure”. I will continue on my path of healing, taking one step at a time and trying the next right thing. My next step after this is trying an antidepressant, and abdominal physical therapy. Every person has bio-individuality, so what works for one may not have the same effect for another. But I wholeheartedly recommend this app for anyone with IBS, as it is the least invasive and restrictive treatment—you don’t have to cut anything out of your diet or remember to take a complicated regimen of supplements. Taking care of your mental and emotional health is key for anyone with any chronic illness, and I love how this program is comprehensive, addressing all the facets of IBS. Take care and best wishes on your health journey!

I liked this for the first week. After that, every session felt as though it repeated throughout each week, week after week. I felt I “knew” what to expect and therefore I couldn’t focus or relax. (In fact I took much longer to complete the entire program because I resisted and skipped sessions.)
Then I noticed my stomach was starting to “rumble” as if it were coming alive or becoming attentive to each session. I genuinely felt calmer and as if I missed the “programing” (without being conscious of just what was happening) that was taking place in my gut and brain.
My IBS-C began to “loosen up” and I felt less nervous about food and bloating and gas. I felt less reactive about incidents or small recurrences of IBS.
When the program ended I was bad at keeping up. And then I noticed again I felt “off” and now I am doing sessions a few times a week and feel better.
If you’re like me and get restless or clever at the beginning, please try to keep an open mind and allow the phrasing and repetitiveness to sink in and don’t think so much as I did!

I have been very pleased so far with this program.
I was a bit skeptical about it at first, but that is only because I knew nothing about the science behind the program.
Another thing I have been impressed with or feel good about, is the promptness of the responses from the staff when I have inquired about different items of the program,
They have answered my questions in a timely manner, and I thank Emily and Devina for their sincere help.
Thank you and looking forward to continuing the program.

In a world filled with information, I really appreciate the structure of this app. I love the succinct informational content along with the varied hypnotherapy sessions (I confess to falling asleep way too often during them). As a speech pathologist, I know that time limited, daily program implementation affects change. The explanation of the mind gut connection is fabulous. You even get a reminder to do the program, and I may have forgotten otherwise! Everyone truly has that 20 minutes in their day, particularly when it has the potential, for all of us looking for a solution for IBS, to achieve a significant positive impact upon our function.
Thanks team, I’ve learned a lot and am continuing to use the hypnotherapy sessions in maintenance.

I’m loving the Nerva program. Know that the meditation/hypnotherapy I’m taking time for is relaxing whilst also helping manage my IBS symptoms and providing education on IBS causes makes it especially valuable time. I’m one week in and I’m feeling more calm and letting my symptoms effect me less because I know I’m doing something about them. The app is easy to use and the program isn’t too expensive. Thank you!

I actually saw results within the 6 weeks. I highly recommend this program. Interestingly enough, once I stopped the program, the symptoms came back.

Got a free trial and I honestly loved this. I would do it at night and was so relaxed. It wasn’t long enough to have a good idea on how it worked on the IBS side but I was more relaxed and didn’t have any flare ups. The cost was too far out of my budget so at this time I can’t continue with the full program. Due to the difference in time zones I ended up being charged for the full year early. I reached out immediately when I noticed fully expecting the company to have some ridiculous reason and just say too bad. Gea took care of my service and was amazing. She looked into it and figured out why. When I explained my need for the refund she said they would take care of it and I was notified in 24 hours it was being processed. She was efficient and friendly. I will definitely be watching in hopes of trying this again in the future.

I’m about to embark on four months of international travel beginning in the desert and extending to major European cities. Given I won’t have full control over my food environment I’ve been really concerned about my IBS especially as I’ve been experiencing a flair up (clearly related to the stress of prepping for travel and the fear of IBS attack - catch 22).
Having embarked on a trial of Nerva at the suggestion of my dietitian I’ve realised how much stress and anxiety play in my dysfunctional digestive system. I’ve found the first few days of Nerva have given me guidance to be able to analyse and control my body’s response to the environment and to alter my state of mind so as to centre on a calm and relaxed physical and mental state. As I won’t have internet for the next weeks I am going to have to unsubscribe for the moment. However I will use what I have learnt so far and if down the track when I have internet access that I need more Nerva support I will probably commit to an annual subscription. Thank you - I’ve found the program very beneficial.

I only started using the app. I have done intensive hypnotherapy in the past and this is a great substitute for being in a therapist's office, from what I can tell so far. Also, I signed up for the free trial and intend to continue with the annual subscription but I noticed there was a cheaper price ($50 less) offered in the Results email after I signed up, so I emailed Gea back and requested a price adjustment. She reduced my subscription with no question, which makes me even happier that I'm working with Nerva. Great customer service is hard to find.

I have to say that I was more than skeptical after years of undiagnosed/misdiagnosed gut issues. After many rounds of western medicine and eastern medicine, I was advised to try this app. This app along with natural supplements was the icing on the cake. There is a listening portion with a set scene, a listening portion with breathing exercises and a reading portion. The scenic listening portions along with the brief reading are amazing. The bigger surprise was better sleep. I would fall asleep right away and needed to go back the next day to re-listen. I literally had a two day turnaround with regular bowel activity. Having said all of that and after a LIFELONG issue with sleeping - this is a miracle for me. The voice, along with the inflection takes me to a relaxed, resting, sleeping state within 1-2min. I do wake when the 15 min is up. If there ever is a sleeping app from this company. Use the same voice and make it twice as long! While costly, it is 100% worth the money. IMO.

Nerva really helped me gain some distance from the panic and anxiety I feel around my IBS symptoms, and to access my parasympathetic nervous system. I still have IBS symptoms, but I relate to them much differently. I feel calmer and more in control. Plus, the app gave me a lot of education I needed around what IBS is, what it isn’t, and how it’s treated.
Thank you Nerva!

I was skeptical at first and the 90£ price mark didn’t help. Finally went for it and it has been absolutely life changing. Combined with a couple of other interventions such as relaxing before meals with breathing and integrating fermented foods into my daily diet (gradually as can cause initial distress), this has helped me in ways that medication could have never!
If youre suffering and are on the fence, i say go for it. You likely won’t regret it.

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.
