This program makes me feel less anxious about my symptoms in general and before eating new foods. I genuinely look forward to each unique hypnotherapy session and hope that Nerva continues to develop new sessions so that the program can extend beyond 6 weeks. I can’t wait to see how they continue building this app! I think it’s an excellent tool for people with gastrointestinal issues. I adore it! Thank you for developing this tool … I feel like it was made just for me! 🥰

IBS-c is just horrid. At one point, so terrible hospitalisation was required. Since then, despite trying Ayurveda, other natural methods, seeing a doc who recommended laxatives for life, (I declined) I’ve been frustrated and I guess sad. Trying Nerva and it’s only day 5. Time will tell, but at this stage, things are no worse and maybe a little bit better. Def worth a shot and if nothing else, the sessions soothe the soul. Thank you 🙏

Week one
I am only in week one but I understand my IBS so much better and feel I am benefiting from this knowledge. I know I am capable of healing and overcoming my current inability to have a complete bowel movement. That feels very restorative and powerful.

After suffering from IBS for 30 years and having tried different diets now I would describe myself as not being a sufferer. I can eat loads more foods without discomfort and on the odd occasions my bowel reacts it’s mild and goes quickly. I can’t recommend this highly enough it has changed my life.

A Great Help For Sensitive Guts!
Nerva is a precious tool to help with gut pain and digestive discomfort. I could feel a noticeable improvement if my symptoms along the weeks. I feel more distant, more in control, less anxious that some pain may happen.

Better than anything else I’ve tried
This app has really helped me to improve my quality of life. I can’t believe the difference. I have less abdominal pain and less missed social events and daily responsibilities seem easier. I’m not perfect, but I have hope for my future now.

I’ve had mild to moderate gut issues as long as I can remember. I’ve tried many things with mixed results. As my struggle intensified so did my dietary restrictions, along with various testing and eventually an IBS diagnosis. I truly thought it was just a wastebasket diagnosis not a real thing. The Nerva app offers a combination of education about the diagnosis, indeed a real thing, which finally made more sense to me, and a tool that has helped my life and anxiety about food to feel more manageable.

I can’t say enough great things about the Nerva App. Not only has it helped me relax but I’ve experienced a noticeable decline in my IBS symptoms. My Naturopath was so impressed. She appreciated getting my progress report from Nerva. I told her to recommend the app to all her IBS patients. I have learned so much about IBS through the readings. I have been reassured that IBS is real and not just in my mind which I have been told before. I love to know that I’m not alone in this journey. The support and encouragement you get from the Nerva App team is incredible. I look forward to my hypnotherapy session each day. I totally recommend this App to anyone suffering from IBS. You will never regret doing it.

Bowels
So far, into my second week, I’ve had several near normal bowel movements.
That usually never happens. I’m excited to go forward with Nerva!

I have had IBS since I was in high school. I am now a 63 year old. My mother and her mother both shared this trait. I tried everything from exercise, pills, food restrictions and just starving myself. The drs all said the same thing. Try to relax. Nothing is wrong. It’s in your head. I couldn’t stand going from diarrhea to constipation and always having a sore gut. This app has helped me like nothing ever else has. I actually have normal bowel movements now. I have never before had that. I can’t believe this is so easy and works but it does. I still have some issues with dairy but other than that I am symptom free pretty much. If I feel something coming on I go and do another session. It’s been great. Highly recommend. I will do this for the rest of my days. Thank you

After dealing with IBS symptoms for years and experiencing ups and downs, I found Nerva and I’m so happy that I took the chance! I made sure to stick to the plan as prescribed and noticed quickly a positive change in my symptoms. I completed the program and continue to use Nerva daily because I feel so much better and it’s a wonderful way to wind down at the end of the day. This is something all people diagnosed with IBS should have the opportunity to try. It works! Thank you, Nerva!

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.

Enjoyed this app and helped me improve my gut-mind therapy. Many of my symptoms have reduced by 70-75 %. I highly recommend this app to folks that have been diagnosed with IBS / EPI or other chronic gut diagnosis. Your mind can be trained to reduce your catastrophic thinking. This program is perfect in keeping you calm and relaxed. For best results make sure you listen every day for the entire program. It’s worth trying. It works for many people with gut-mind chronic illnesses and can help you too. Keep a positive attitude and keep going everyday. Lastly, you can continue to listen daily after your program has ended. It’s a good practice and a gentle reminder you can re-train your mind to think differently and heal your body. The best of luck and success to each and everyone of you who reads my review.

Really Helping Me!
I just finished my 7 day trial and began the second week. It is really helping me relax, have less anxiety about my IBS and the readings are super informative. So far, I’m very pleased and excited to continue my gut-healing journey.

Even if my symptoms are low for the day I ensure I make time for these sessions as it means I take 15 minutes away from the stresses of life and it really centres me. 100% recommend this app, no question about it!

I have suffered from IBS-D for more than 40 years. I’ve tried everything with marginal and very temporary results. I discovered Nerva IBS as part of my research. I became fed up with diet changes, medications and false promises. I got the first break from daily IBS events the first four days of trying the Nerva IVS program. I’ve been at it now for more than 3 months with only 3 IBS events total in that period of time. Best of all, these events were much less painful and I was able to remain calm throughout the process. The Nerva team has been with me every step of the way and I hear Dr. Simone’s calming voice throughout the day as my mind and body somehow automatically repeat the learnings and suggestions. Thank You Dr. Simone Peters and the entire Nerva team.

I can’t say enough good about this this therapy and the delivery via this app.
After being diagnosed with IBS-D and while waiting to be scheduled to see a dietitian, I invested FODMAP food lists. I was becoming increasingly worried that I wouldn’t have the self discipline to follow the food restrictions and end up never getting a handle on my IBS. One of the FODMAP apps had a link to Nerva. After doing some investigation, I decided to try the one week trial. I liked the therapy during the trial and I signed up for the full six week programme. I am now on the maintenance schedule, also through the app. My IBS symptoms have subsided to such a degree that I cancelled my long awaited appointment with my dietitian. As well, I have informed my doctor and the dietitian about the success I’ve experienced. I’m back to trusting my body again.

Finally something that works!
After close to five years of IBS-D, countless investigations, different medication (western and alternative), FODMAP diet, embarrassing accidents and being told to “learn to live with it” I now have a huge improvement. 😃

I’m a long term sufferer from IBS - over20 years- and have tried so many conventional and alternative therapies over the years. I get temporary help from somethings but combining various solutions to the problem works best but sometimes nothing works. Nerva has helped me very much over a three month period and I’m continuing with the maintenance programme. However it has changed my attitude to IBS and how my mind/body works so that I can see a long term solution to my problem using Nerva techniques going forward.
