I am eternally grateful to whoever developed this app. Thank you!! Oh, and I’ve been using the app for 4 years I believe. I did the 6 week program then use the sessions when I need them.

Doing for 5 days. It relaxes me so much I’ve been falling asleep. I need to really try to stay awake. Hopefully it will still work. There’s been 3 days I’ve fallen asleep. I have completed the program and I cannot tell you how much it has helped me. I actually went out of the house WITHOUT protection for the first time in years!!!!! I still have some work to do to be completely confident, but I now know I will get there. September: had a set back because of the coming of Helena. Hopefully doing a few days of Nerva will get me back on course. Enjoy the sessions so very much.

I’ve been doing this program since July 2024. I completed the six weeks and it was unbelievable. It even started working between 2-3 weeks.
Since then I do listen to some of the programs 2-3 times a week. I believe it helps me relax and I really like listening to the different scenarios.

Been doing this program since July 2024
Since completing the first 6 weeks. I keep doing the sessions when I have a relapse. It is just what I need at those times. Thank for this program and the Fodmap plan.

Incredible
I was skeptical at first, but after a week I have seen serious improvements. If you want results you have to be open minded. Highly recommend, worth the money.

My first Nerva experience began in January’24 to treat months-long diarrhea. Three weeks in was the tipping point toward normal gut health. By week six, very healthy BM’s. Midway thru 2025, my IBS pendulum began its reverse swing. By Fall, constipation made its debut. I’d never experienced this symptom of IBS. I’ve just completed the 3rd session of Week 1 moments ago which provided a profound BM!
From this experience, it’s imperative to commit to Nerva treatment a minimum of twice a year.

I was on the fence about trying the app. My dietician recommended it but it took me months to actually download it. I’m very happy I did. I didn’t think I could benefit from hypnosis. I never felt completely out of it, just very relaxed during the sessions. It is a nice way to start my day and my gut symptoms have almost completely resolved. I have recommended to friends and family. Very happy I tried it. I’m much more confident in my gut and less worried about flare up’s.

This program has helped me be more in touch with my symptoms and connect them with anxiety and stress in a way that I hadn’t been before. It’s very helpful and has changed my life! The meditations are really wonderful and the extra readings tie everything together. Well worth the money to get better control of my digestive system. I’m now able to recognize stress pain from real digestive pain which is huge. Calming down my stress and anxiety has removed 80% of my digestive issues. Who knew!!!???

I’ve bad gut issues for around 20 years and have tried all diet related fixes, which never worked. I’ve been doing Nerva as part of a night time routine for the past 10 months and I’ve never felt better. I have had no symptoms of IBS and I’m not longer worried about being sick at work or on holidays. Worth every dollar !!!! No longer surviving, now I’m thriving thanks to Nerva.

Body Awareness
The information given is useful in understanding this condition. I find it really helpful in lessening the stress about what is going on.
The sessions are helpful in bringing mind and body into balance.
Thankyou.

I am not a huge fan of therapy or apps like these but when I say that this worked, I mean it has changed my life. Even going at it with a pessimistic mindset, it still worked. It did take the full sessions and about two weeks on top of that, but it’s been about a year and it’s still going strong, in fact I don’t even use the app anymore. On rare occasions I do get a day or so every couple weeks at most, but nothing like the daily IBS sessions I used to live with. I had tried so many things before and was pretty much helpless, that’s when I tried this app as a last resort. Hopefully this review can be what someone needs to give this a try and hopefully it works for you as well as it did for me.

After having finished the 6 week program, I do 4 hypnotherapy sessions a week. My symptoms are less noticeable. Best of all my last flare up lasted only 24 hours! Thank you Nerva!!!

Great app - amazing support
After three weeks, I definitely feel a lot calmer. Abdominal pain has reduced and I could fit it perfectly in my daily routine. For now, the results are better than meds and exclusion diet combined (because I feel so relaxed).

When I first started using this app earlier this year it did wonders for me. My mental health improved as did my sleeping patterns and gut health.
Recently however, they made some changes where the sessions seem to be more of a lecture than hypnotherapy. More words and less time to truly sink into the calming state. Faster paced speech and unable to get “lost in thought”. My symptoms are returning and I am very disappointed in result.

I am greatly appreciative of this program. I love the learning. It has helped me understand my body and how it reacts to every day stresses. Nerva is teaching me to relax and take control of my life. The hypnotherapy is giving me confidence. Also understanding more how breathing exercises help. Thank you for a fantastic program. I look forward to continuing to learn and gain control of my digestive system.

This has been incredibly helpful. Between the sessions, breathing techniques, and readings, I have found numerous ways to help manage my symptoms during flare ups and it has helped reduce the symptoms making them less intense and I’m writing this in the middle of week 3. I’m very grateful my Dr recommended this.

This app has been amazing in helping me manage my IBS. It is extremely effective and I noticed results after regularly listening to the sessions for only a few months. I didn’t make any other lifestyle changes eg food, medication, so I can only attribute the improvements to my gut to doing the hypnotherapy sessions. It is such a huge relief to be able to live without the anxiety that comes with IBS. I love how simple and effective Nerva has been for me. I have recommended it to so many people.

My remark about bookkeeping refers to the fact that I was only completing a trial when the company notified me that I had signed up for TWO year long subscription. I certainly did not do that. So now the credit card company has to deal with them.

I would give this app 5 stars because I think it has helped me a lot. However, I have had this app for over a year and there has been no new content. We pay an enormous amount of money each year for this app, I would think some new sessions would not be too much to ask for.
Edited: Finally there is new content in this app which allows me to give it five stars. Thank you as this app has been very beneficial to me.

After more than a year of IBS symptoms and every test coming back normal, I decided to give it a try because nothing else was working. I did the sessions almost every day. It took a while, almost the full six weeks but I stuck it out and everything has settled down. I’m still doing the sessions regularly and if I feel any weird pains or symptoms, I do a session and things calm down. Amazing, really.

Recently diagnosed with GERD and after reading so much about it was suggested to try this app by a Dietitian. Best advice ever! Having found out my root cause has to do so much with my nervous system. I completed the 6 week program and feel so much better. Took a 2 month break and went back to start it all over again as it really relaxes me first thing in the morning. With the new update the breathing techniques are gone. Those are great please consider adding them back. Breathing exercises have been so good for me as well and it’s the perfect way to end the session to start the day feeling great, motivated and positive.

I completed the course, and my IBS symptoms have subsided.
I have had the occasional flare-up, and I return to the course when this happens.
The course soothes my symptoms and helps me to reach a state of deep relaxation.
There have been new sessions added since I finished the course. I’m delighted that my initial payment allows me to access these additional sessions.
I mentioned this course to my GP and he took note of it to advise other patients.
I highly recommend Nerva to anyone who is looking for relief from the symptoms of IBS.
