I’ve had IBS since about 2016 but only got diagnosed Feb 2024. The gastroenterologist solution was to go onto anti-depressants which would cause lots of side effects / harm. My sister found the Nerva app in January and I decided to give it a go as hypothesis has no side effects. I already knew about Monash University’s FODMAP work and when I read about the hypnosis program it sounded like a logical next step. Within two weeks my chronic diarrhoea was much improved and by the end of the six week program pretty much gone. Highly recommend this program it works and the support service is awesome. Thank you for a safe and effective program.

Nerva has really helped me
It’s early days yet in terms of long term management of my IBS, but I am feeling so much better both physically and mentally. The hypnosis sessions are very pleasant and make a lot of sense. The readings are also very helpful.

I’ve struggled with IBS on and off since childhood PTSD. Now since the trauma of the pandemic and deteriorating spine health/acute chronic pain last 3 years, my IBS and anxiety became out of control. I often could not leave the house putting my job I love at risk. This also adversely effects my darling family who hate to see me so ill with no way to help me. So I had a lot of guilt and shame. The last 3 weeks using Nerva app and strictly adhering to Low Fodmap diet, also meditate daily, I am much improved. My stomach is starting to feel better. I think this app has tremendous value if you do it every day. Highly recommend.

Almost from the first session I began to notice positive changes in my digestive system and overall wellbeing. These improvements have grown stronger each day. I also find I don’t even need to think about them consciously. When negative feelings arise the positive learnings from the sessions just “kick in”.
My day-to-day anxiety and worry levels have dropped significantly too. I’m waking up each morning looking forward to the day and there’s an underlying “knowing” that even if there are challenges, I now have the tools to manage them.
The course has delivered more than I could have ever imagined.
A HUGE thank you to absolutely everyone involved!

I have been suffering from terrible IBS and issues with my vagus nerve. I’m only on day 13 and I am beginning to feel better every single day. This program is going to be life changing for me. I have been needing to rewire my brain for some time now to calm down and I think I this is it! Thank you to whoever created this program.

Six weeks did not cure me of all pain and discomfort. I’m still working with the program. When I have had acid reflux flare ups I’ve been able to sit down with a session and relieve alot of the symptoms. As a result of using this program my bowel movements are more regular and I’m able to have full evacuations, no more little rabbit pellets. I’ve stopped using prune juice and Metamucil. I’ve had multiple days free of pain. I’m eating most foods. I’m going to try tomato sauce again soon.

I’m so pleased with the results and overall improvement to symptoms and general mental health associated with IBS & GAD. I only wish I’d started sooner. I’ve had hypnotherapy with Dr Peters in person, but this app allows me to go through the process at my convenience and daily. The results have sustained long after doing the program.

This has literally changed my life. IBS was stopping me from doing so much, particularly anything social, as well as being an inconvenience for around 8 years. After 6 weeks I don’t seem to have any issues, I can go out, I can eat whatever I want and no more IBS. I tried it out of chance after being desperate, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.

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.

This program was the most unbelievable experience for me! My Dr kept pushing me to try it and I quite begrudgingly finally did. Much to my surprise, within a few weeks my symptoms were lessening and within 6 weeks, they stopped entirely! I benefited from the daily hypnosis sessions and also from the short breathing exercises, as week as the daily 5 minute educational notes about IBS. I am so very grateful I was able to have the support of this brilliantly conceived and designed program!

I started the 7 day trial via an online test. The trial week was brilliant and I noticed a difference in my symptoms quite soon after starting.
The mixture of breathing exercises, hypnotherapy and reading is really good.
I didn’t find the information regarding subscription costs very clear, when I was charged £99 for a yearly uk subscription after the 7 day trial I requested a refund as I hadn’t used the material from day 8 yet and felt the subscription charge information wasn’t clear.
Gea from customer service responded really quickly, efficiently and empathically. They explained the different subscription costs and reasoning and gave a full refund straight away.
I am disappointed I cannot afford to continue through the 6 week course and think it would be great if Nerva provided a costing option that allowed you to just do the 6 week course. However, I hope to be able to continue the course in the future when I can afford to.

Wow. I was skeptical about this app but my body feels completely relaxed during and after the sessions. I feel that the positive suggestions during the meditative state also helps me feel at peace with my IBS. As some may relate to, I’m stressed, then have IBS symptoms, then stress about my IBS symptoms. Horrible cycle and this app has been a great refresh to my negative thinking about my health and well-being. I have had some symptom improvements but haven’t been using it for long. Will update at the end of the 6 weeks. Feeling grateful to have found this little slice of health positivity and relaxation for my daily routine.

I was very sceptical before I started using the Nerva App, but having suffered from IBS for almost 10 years I was willing to try it. (I’d tried others tablets/remedies etc with no success.)
The App includes a written explanation each day as well as a relaxing hypnosis. Gaining this better understanding of the brain/gut interaction was very helpful.
I’ve completed the App and it has definitely worked for me. No more pain and bloating from certain foods is minimal. I’d definitely recommend you try it too.
