Nerva reviews

Since starting (5 days) I have been using hypnotherapy/visualisation at various times of the day when I start to feel anxious, stressed or the symptoms prior to IBS upset. I have noticed reduced pain, bloating and altered bowel motions - I’m starting to feel confident that this will work and I’ll have a more ‘normal’ lifestyle.

While Nerva hasn’t cured my IBS, I will always need high doses of magnesium, it has greatly reduced my symptoms and discomfort. Even during difficult days pain, bloating and wind are so much better. My anxiety about having a chronic condition has improved as well. I’d love to say, I no longer have IBS or SIBO, but I’m grateful for any improvement.

I’m just coming out of a 3 month flare up and was very sick. I had no expectations this would work for me but figured that worst case it would relax me. I’m now into the maintenance plan and seen about a 50% improvement of my symptoms (for me, the main disrupters were nausea, constipation and epigastric bloating/reflux). I didn’t notice an improvement until week 6. Through this program I learned how to breathe from my diaphragm and over time I was able to reach a deeper state of relaxation. I especially loved the soothing voice, UI is really good and really appreciated the encouraging emails and informative readings!

I really enjoyed my trial of Nerva - the gut-directed hypnotherapy sessions did make my stomach feel calmer. The only reason I didn’t continue the subscription was because I found that my bloating - my primary concern - was attributable to other causes apart from IBS and thus wouldn’t respond to hypnotherapy. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this app to a friend with respect to calming effect and ease of use.

I’m on day 4 of using the Nerva app and my IBS symptoms are improving already. The app is easy to use. I had horrible bloating 2 days ago and after doing a hypnotherapy session, the bloating decreased significantly. I’m excited to see how I feel after the 6 weeks.

I have been using Nerva for 3 months now. I listen every morning. I went from being nauseous and stuck in my house everyday from feeling ill to working a full time job. I recently had a cross country move, sold a house, bought a house, and started a hectic job in my new career and even with that all my IBS symptoms are being kept at bay by using this app. If you are hesitant, just try it. It could never hurt to try something, and mediation/breathing will always do you good. Don’t hesitate to try! I am a success story. I will say that I do still watch what I eat, but only out of preference. I do know what will make me feel bloated, and I still avoid certain foods.

I have tried FODMAP, seen a dietitian , taken medication and none of them helped. Nerva has been the best method that has controlled my IBS. I completed my course of 6 weeks and the results were great. My bloating has reduced, I have normal bowel function and I don’t get anxious when I have a small setback. I remind myself that I am getting better each day, week and month. I have renewed my subscription and will continue using the app. I highly recommend this app as it is a lot cheaper than seeing a gut hypnotherapist. Thank you Nerva

My first time ever writing a review! After two years of enduring functional constipation following surgery, I found myself trying everything - laxatives, physiotherapy, diet and exercise, probiotics, meditation, visits for ultrasounds and CT scans, and even a colonoscopy. But while there was some improvement, I never returned to my ‘baseline’ of living without discomfort and bloating. At about the 4 to 5 week mark of the six week Nerva program, I found my movements were becoming regular and ‘easy’. And no bloating! All I’ve used in addition to Nerva is a natural fibre supplement, psyllium husk. No expensive additional treatments. Nothing. And now I’m at my pre-surgery baseline. Must say the customer support at Nerva was always timely, helpful, and polite. I wish I discovered this App two years ago!

I signed up for Nerva after seeing it advertised on Instagram and having a particularly stressful few weeks with terrible digestive problems. I cannot believe how effective it’s been. It’s probably been 4-6 weeks since I finished the program (I completed all but one day!) and I hardly think about my stomach at all now. I hardly feel bloated or sick after eating. It’s actually quite life saving. And to have to pay only $100 for this treatment is amazing. I’m on the maintenance plan now and I’m finding the kind of ‘forced’ calm down time super useful to do a few times a week. Thank you so much to Monash for creating this.

I had developed IBS symptoms from a bout of Covid in April 2022. Had been to a dr had various tests all clear. Dr prescribed Buscopan which initially helped. In October Nerva came on my Instagram and it was the best thing I decided to do. I religiously did the sessions every day at similar times. Read all the articles and within a few weeks my symptoms Of stomach cramps bloating obsession to be near a toilet all eased. Was able to have a week in the Sun continuing to do the sessions. Not obsessed about food had the odd alcoholic drink and no affect. I had a zoom call with a Dietician referred by my GP. He was very interested to hear about NERVA and felt you had been able to help more than anything. Had a slight flare up in December reverted by to daily sessions and am delighted to say my symptoms and esp the anxiety I had suffered during the last few years of Covid calmed down and now am feeling very calm and reassured. Have listened to one of the new programmes in the kitchen and will listen to the other new ones. Am pleased to be renewing by membership for another 3 months. Many thanks to Gea for reaching out to me she has been very helpful. Many many thanks. Regards. Ailsa.

The hypnosis - it is very special did help me most of time to go to deep relaxation, which normally difficult to do, I want to keep doing to maintain, helps me to relax my brain and be more come, it did help my stomach I had occasional upset stomach like 3 times a month for a couple of days leaving me tied and often bloating, pain and gas which related that I had PTSD in the past and complicated grief, other changes in my life as changing countries and learning to drive. I had first month free from upset stomach now after 3 years, what a progress!

I’ve tried so many regiments and diets over the years to help with my constipation, bloating and sIBo etc…most have helped a little bit here and there- so I am surprised with how much Nerva helps: a lot! It makes a big difference for me! I have less pain, less bloating etc then ever before. Plus it’s so relaxing and just the break I need each day. Very very happy with this program. Just goes to show the power of the mind!

I have only been using this program for 4 days and I can already feel a difference. Less pain, bloating, nausea and wind. I am doing it in conjunction with my medications and physicians support. I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful and satisfied I am with this program. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I don’t usually write app reviews unless I am having difficulty with a user error ;). I have an autoimmune disorder that comes with all sorts of annoying symptoms including food allergies/sensitivities and IBS. I have tried everything to manage the IBS without any sort of long term success. I have finally found relief through this app! It’s so wonderful to be able to hang out with friends and go places without worrying about tummy retaliation! I don’t even have words to describe how wonderful it is to not be in pain and bloated all the time. Thank you!!!!!!! Just…..Thank you!!!!!

I was sceptical but was willing to give a try as I have tried everything else (FODMAP, Iberogast, herbs etc) nothing helped. I’m currently on day two and my bloating is noticeably less, my pains are gone and my stomach is just very calm. In fact my overall health feels calm. The cost may put some people off but to be honest to feel this good I would pay and have paid a lot more. Will see how I’m feeling at the end of 6 weeks. 😀

I was very happy to find a hypnosis program online to assist me with IBS. I had been plagued with abdominal and back pain, and bloating for weeks. The hypnosis sessions allowed me to have hope that the pain would go away. The breathing techniques gave immediate relief from the pain. After four months of IBS I was finally cleared, within a few weeks of completing the six weeks of sessions. I did start taking medication during the last few weeks of sessions, but I firmly believe that the hypnosis and breathing techniques are what helped me to hang on until this flare up ended.

I purchased this app as I was at the end of my tether with my IBS. I had tried other things including the FODMAP diet which helped but did not feel like it was getting to the root of the issue. I was a bit skeptical, but After about 2 weeks of doing the daily hypnosis I suddenly realised my bloating and abdominal discomfort had improved quite a bit... I continued and am now on week 5 and amazingly I am barely suffering with any symptoms! And like the sessions suggest, if I do get any symptoms they don’t seem to bother me as much anymore. I am so so grateful to have discovered this amazing little app! It really feels like a huge breakthrough and have already recommended to a few friends.

I’ve been struggling with IBS for a long time. Even with good nutrition and health routine, the stress and nerve factors of this condition make discomfort, stomach pain, bloating and unpredictable bowels are literally a thorn in my side. This condition is complicated and misunderstood, even by some doctors and nutritionists. I’m so grateful that the science is catching up. Making the connection between the brain, the stomach and the nervous system is the missing link. Tailored nutrition, sleep, regular exercise and managing stress are of utmost important and this app has become part of the healthy routine.

Wow, I didn’t know what to expect with this app (never done anything like hypnotherapy before), but I’m so pleasantly surprised! Just by listening to the short session each day, the intensity of my symptoms rapidly decreased. While I still deal with some bloating from time to time, it’s never painful like before. And my nausea is almost completely gone. Super happy to have found this app and program!

Just a massive thank you to everyone who help create the Nerva app. After 4 years of abdominal discomfort/ pain and bloating to the point that I did my own any trousers with buttons (only wore leggings and tracksuit bottoms!) my symptoms are now no longer an issue - I did not think this app would work for me but SO glad I tried it - would highly highly recommend ! I feel fab and am now wearing sports bras and trousers and my tummy is flat and pain free !!!! Could not be happier with the outcome- loved the education that comes along with the app to further my understanding of the GI tract and symptoms !!! 10/10 - very happy customer !!! I have completed the whole programme.

I’m into the second week of this program and I am noticeably calmer, with less GI problems. I’ve been on the low FODMAP diet for almost 6 years. It has helped me immensely, by reducing my IBS symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Because of the success I have had with the low FODMAP diet, I totally trust Monash University, where the diet was developed. Knowing that Nerva was developed by the same people, I was very interested in what else they have come up with. This program is educating me about the fact that there is a level of healing possible beyond where I have gotten to with the diet. I am understanding that the essential issue is a hypersensitivity of my brain - gut nervous system, and that can be calmed with hypnotherapy and diaphragmatic deep breathing. The hypnotherapy sessions are 15 minutes long, and there is a new one every day. There are short things to read every day, to increase my understanding of what is possible. There is excellent email support. The 7 day free trial allowed me to check it out adequately before paying. I have a clear feeling now that I will be a new person by the end of the 6 week program. I am so grateful that this came to me on my Instagram feed! I am now four months out from when I began the program. I am finding that I still need to do the hypnotherapy sessions at least a few times a week in order to maintain a pain free gut. After all, I have had IBS symptoms for about 70 years, so I understand that a little ongoing support in relaxation is needed. Again, I am grateful that this program is available and effective.
