Nerva reviews

I was a bit unsure on whether to go ahead with the full purchase because it is quite a lot and I saw a few negative reviews but I’m so glad that I didn’t listen. The app has been so helpful in calming down the anxiety surrounding stomach issues which is such a massive part of IBS. I never usually do reviews but if anyone is really struggling like I was then 100% go for it!

I started using Nerva over a year ago when symptoms were particularly disruptive. Within a week of using it daily, I noticed significant differences in my digestion and associated symptoms. My general stress levels decreased. I continued with the initial course and following that I use it as and when I feel the need and each and every time, it helps, reliably. You have to really allow yourself to buy into what is being said, the supporting reading was key for me to really immerse myself in the audio sessions in a way that associated them with my body. I regularly highly recommend this to people.

I was skeptical that an app would help me but my IBS symptoms became so painful I had to retire early. I’d lost so much to this already—why not try Nerva? I’m so glad I did. I finished the 6-week program last week and my symptoms have reduced by 60%. Some days I’m completely pain free. If I do feel discomfort, I no longer go into a stress spiral. Instead, I do deep breathing or a session. I’m going through my favorite sessions again. Every week I notice a little more improvement. This has done more for me than any GI doctor ever has.

I never write reviews but I feel compelled to because it has radically changed my life. After 5 weeks of use this app and method has virtually eliminated my suffering. I started having gut issues when I was perimenopausal. I tried eliminating foods and beverages but that did not work. I noticed most of my gut issues occurred when I was anxious a symptom that also started occurring during perimenopause. Listening to this app has relaxed me, taught me methods to use to deal when I start feeling anxious or gut pain and also somehow unconsciously improved my symptoms. I was a skeptic but am now a believer!

I have IBS-C. I’ve been doing Nerva for the past 9 months and it has truly changed my quality of life. I am taking a medication in conjunction with the app, but any time I skimp on my Nerva sessions, the medication has a hard doing its job. The brain-gut connection can’t be ignored. When I’m regularly doing my Nerva sessions, I find I have far less abdominal/stomach pain, bloating, gas, and nausea. My mind also feels clearer and my anxiety is significantly lessened. I can’t rate this app highly enough!

I have loved my Nerva sessions, I completely relax and feel so calm. I have had great improvement in my gastrointestinal health, I don’t ‘worry’ about how Fodmap foods might affect me. I still have some times where my bowel is a little aggravated, but in general my bowel health has improved hugely. I would recommend giving it a try, but you have to accept that it will work just by listening to the sessions, just enjoy the feeling of being so relaxed!

After a diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus my GERD was out of control. My dietician recommended Nerva to help with my stress level which was impacting my reflux. This app was amazing, I immediately felt calm after each session. It made a huge difference along with my medication and diet. Thank you Nerva for your tremendous help.

I’m very impressed with this Ap. Though I’m still trying to get my head around all the “systems” eg sympathetic, parasympathetic etc. am trying not to worry too much about this and just let this knowledge percolate via the successive sessions. Can feel quite an improvement in both bodily functions AND attitude in general. Thanks.

This probably has been the best thing I have ever done for my gut period! I have IBS but mostly I have an anxiety tummy with nausea and cramps. I never miss a session because the reward is priceless. I have barely any upset and I can eat everything. I listen every morning and again in my car most days. Her voice is truly soothing and I hope they don’t change it. Give this an honest try and I hope you find the peace I have found. I feel the calm all day and night and I am even sleeping better. AAA +++++

I’ve been doing this for one week consistently so far - I feel calmer (I think I’ve fallen asleep once or twice) and it really teaches you how to disconnect and focus on breathing and subconscious thoughts, as well as positive affirmations that reinforce positive steps you’re taking. All while educating you through it all so you can understand and take control back. You’ve got to be open to allowing the proven techniques and trust the process. UPDATE: Now well into week 6 and I can’t say enough of how well this has worked for me. Consistency is key. I suffered for so long - and this has been such a blessing to find - a proactive step in managing anxiety and stomach issues successfully.

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to write a review about Nerva. I have been using it for a couple of months and I am currently doing the maintenance program. 👍🏼As a person diagnosed with generalized anxiety, I have to say that I saw a huge decrease in episodes of panic and a certain ease in performing daily activities such as commute or taking elevators. 👎 I believe that check-in support (as additional resource) provided not only via automated emails would add benefits to users. Also, there could be a wider selection of hypnotherapy topics. Overall, I highly recommend it as additional tool to help with IBS and anxiety management. Honestly, in my top 5 favorite apps. Thank you

I felt at a loss as to what to use to help with my symptoms. I was stuck in a stress-loop cycle and I didn’t know how to get out of it, causing my symptoms to worsen. I’ve only been using this app for 2 weeks but it has helped me to relax and given me hope for the future. I would 100% recommend it!

I’ve just completed the 6 week IBS Nerva sessions, and as long as it keeps working it has changed my life. I’ve suffered from bowel stress and anxiety since I was 8 years old. It has ranged from incontinence to constipation. Over the years it has gotten worse. I’m 62 now and almost housebound because of bowel incontinence I had started going to various doctors, one referral after another. I decided to start going through the process to get insurance approval for sacral nerve stimulation surgery. During that time IBS things started popping up on my social media page and Nerva was one. It caught my eye and decided to try it. After the first full session all my gut issues went away! I have had regular bowel movements with complete and easy evacuation for the past 6 weeks. I am 100% convinced now it’s all in my mind. I’m weaning off of every day sessions and so far it’s still working. I’m hoping Nerva will make new dreams to listen to in the maintenance phase and change even just a little the way they get you into hypnosis some of the time. It started to get repetitive and then my mind would drift a bit because I knew what was going to be said already. It has however kept working. Thank you Nerva program! C. O’Leary

My doctor told me I had IBS because I had a lot of stress. I thought, no, it goes the other way. The IBS is the source of my stress. Turns out we were both right. Now that, thanks to Nerva, I understand that on a gut level (pardon the pun) my symptoms have decreased dramatically and my quality of life has improved tremendously. (I also followed a FODMAP diet, and found I could reintroduce most foods eventually). I used the Nerva app pretty much daily for 6 weeks. Symptoms calmed down after two. I used to be at the mercy of my IBS symptoms, and now I feel I have control. I still listen a couple of times per week for maintenance. Bonus: it also works to help me go back to sleep in the middle of the night.

I was very sceptical about whether the Nerva app could help as I'm used to taking pills for things that go wrong with my body. I think the really important thing about this app is that it creates a sense that you have some degree of control of the situation, and that gives positive feedback to your body which eventually becomes habitual. It's a bit difficult to explain but I definitely feel it has helped, whether by giving me better quality sleep, which I feel it has done, or helping me worry much less about relatively small IBS symptoms which may have developed into bigger symptoms and a feeling that everything has gone wrong with my guts. It helps to break that loop. The repetition is important, and although I finished the course I still revisit the sessions.

I first tried the nerve app in March of this year, when I was experiencing an IBS flare worse than I had in many years. The flare was undoubtedly caused by the stress of an in process international move where I was to start a new job. I saw an ad for the app and was skeptical, then read that Monash University was behind it and decided to give it a try. I didn’t expect much, but I saw a significant symptom production within the first week which I know it’s not common. But it did continue through the program and after. I stopped for the last few months and when another flare started. I went back to the program and again I’m experiencing a significant reduction of symptoms. I’ve been following a modified Low FODMAP diet, which also helps to an extent, but finding a more lasting effect and consistency with this program.

I’ve been using Nerva self hypnosis for well over a year and have found it very helpful in calming my gut. I’ve been diagnosed with both UC and IBS, and while I need medication for the UC, these sessions help my nervous system chill. For some months I did daily sessions. Now I tune in when I’m feeling anxious and my day goes better every time!

So, to keep a super long story short, I’ve dealt with IBS-C for my whole life but mostly during time I was active duty military and afterwards. I was assigned everything medication and therapy wise they could suggest. NOTHING WORKED and actually made things WORSE. I tried even stuff over the counter such as holistic ways for cleansing and symptom relief, also caused many issues. I noticed whenever my stress was heightened, even those it’s daily/chronic as is, my flare ups and other symptoms would appear. I’m leaving out many details but the point is I was struggling and desperate for RELIEF AND HELP! When I can across Nerva and doing it, MIND BLOWN!!! The research all clears and makes complete sense and WORKS!!! Seriously, LIFE SAVER! And I was diligent in research for years for help! Sooooo happy to have come across this!! Only a bit over a week into it and already beyond impressed!!

It has now been 10 days since starting the Nerva journey and I can say that I am definitely seeing a shift in mindset when thinking about my gut issues. I now see how clearly the stress loop features in my gut reactions and have activated the strategy of becoming aware of my senses to reduce anxiety. It is still early days but am feeling more positive about managing and reducing flare ups. The daily commitment to the program has been easy and I look forward to it everyday. I’m excited to continue this journey and to live a happy, healthy life. Thank you Nerva 🙌

I have completed the six week Nerva program. My IBS anxiety began to lessen after the first two weeks. For many years I had chronic IBS - D which prevented me from socialising. I followed a strict low FODMAP diet. I suffered symptoms like nausea and I was also constantly looking for toilets, if I deviated from the diet. Now my symptoms are 90% improved. I no longer need to follow the low FODMAP diet except for avoiding gluten, sugar and large amounts of onion. I can also travel without panicking! I have my life back! Thank you!

After years of pain and suffering from IBS-D, trying diet restrictions, medication and various medical tests, the Nerva program gave me much needed relief. I did it daily and felt 100% better by 25 days. I finished the full program and do it a few times a week now. The imagery in the sessions is beautiful, I look forward to doing each one and feel very relaxed after. I learned a lot about the nervous system through the reading as well and have been making lifestyle changes to lower stress. I was skeptical going in not understanding how it could work, now I completely recommend Nerva and hope others get well too ❤️
