I’m loving the Nerva program. Know that the meditation/hypnotherapy I’m taking time for is relaxing whilst also helping manage my IBS symptoms and providing education on IBS causes makes it especially valuable time. I’m one week in and I’m feeling more calm and letting my symptoms effect me less because I know I’m doing something about them. The app is easy to use and the program isn’t too expensive. Thank you!
I’m already significantly improving. Highly recommended. I’m excited to see where this goes long term. I’ve been dealing with IBSc for decades and anxiety related issues as well. This feels like a daily treat that really works.
Gea’s was very helpful when I had issues with the app. Thorough, clear and very kind. This is old-fashioned customer service I wasn’t expecting with an app! Bravo to Gea and Nerva!

Ever since I started using Nerva, I have felt more calm, open, grateful, and less grumpy. I have also felt at least a 60% drop in gas in my stomach. Nerva helps me with the calming voices, the shorter than other biofeedback sessions, and the calm but persuasive voice that makes me feel more open to suggestions. Thank you Nerva!!!!!

The app is extremely well made and researched. It pairs psychological concepts and psychoeducation whilst delivering the guided meditation and breathing exercises. It has definitely helped me manage my stress levels during my doctorate. I also had a great experience with Anne who helped me out by providing me with lifetime access to the app as a clinician. If you’re also a clinician then this is something you could look into. I would absolutely recommend this app!

After trying low FODMAP and finding about 80% or my symptoms resolved, I was determined to get as close to 100% as I could. Nerva works —it worked for me and it is worth trying. I suffered daily and the process changed all that. It’s not cheap, but…
After trying low FODMAP and finding about 80% or my symptoms resolved, I was determined to get as close to 100% as I could. Nerva works —it worked for me and it is worth trying. I suffered daily and the process changed all that. It’s not cheap, but it was worth investment in my health for me.

I rarely write reviews but I had to for this app. I have struggled with severe IBS for around 4+ years, and during that time I’ve been extremely restricted in what I can eat and feeling pretty rubbish all the time, largely affecting my quality of life. I heard about this app and decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t expecting to see a difference. I kept going with it, though, and found the meditations really relaxing to listen to (which is unusual for me, as I’ve always struggled to meditate). By the time I’d completed the six week course, the difference was unbelievable. My IBS symptoms had drastically reduced, and I was able to eat foods I’ve had to avoid in years (such as mushrooms, aubergine, cabbage, broccoli, strawberries, apples, blueberries, melon, brown bread & rice, and high-fibre labelled products, all which would’ve caused me diarrhoea before). This has allowed me to incorporate more fruit and veg into my diet, which has made me feel healthier overall! I’m writing this review months later, and my IBS is still better than ever. I’m enjoying food so much more and my symptoms are mostly manageable, something I never thought I’d be able to say! So grateful for this app and how much it’s changed my life. Highly recommend. Try to go into it with a positive attitude, and don’t give up if it begins to feel repetitive - that’s how it works!

This flare up has been going on for over 3 months, completely out of control! It has lessened quite a bit since starting Nerva, however, I do very well during the day even after breakfast (using portion control). Then anything I eat in the afternoon and especially after dinner, triggers constant diarrhea, excessive burping, tummy cramps and growling tummy. The constant diarrhea and back to back trips to the bathroom are very tiresome. The upside is that I am able to sleep through the night🤗 First thing in the AM I have slight diarrhea and then I’m good until my next portion controlled meal (always worse in the evening)! I have resorted to eliminating dinner and having a small snack instead. EDIT I still have diarrhea daily most often after an evening meal. There have been times I have no diarrhea until after the evening meal. I have recently had my evening meal without experiencing diarrhea. I still use portion control. There are times when my diarrhea has more substance as opposed to explosive liquid and I most often have plenty of time to get to the bathroom. My stress levels have improved and I’m feeling more and more strength and control. My seem to get more in depth during my daily sessions.

Having been a long time sufferer of GI distress I was always looking for a solution. I JUST wanted to feel better. My condition did affect my life. I was in pain almost constantly, been to many doctors, tried a barage of medications. I carefully watched my diet. I tried alternative approaches, including meditation. Some things helped a little. I have only been with Nerva for a week, but am impressed with the business model. It is a very thought out regimen. I feel like part of a community with email check ins, a shared picture of the Nerva group and friendly understanding. It is a little early to tell if my IBS is better, BUT I have had 4 days of minimal distress. Finger crossed. Thank you.
After completing the sessions on the Nerva app, I can’t say that my symptoms are gone but I know that I can go to it and get to a calming place to get my mind off the discomforting symptoms.
3 weeks in to this app and it’s really helped me. The customer service I have received has also been excellent. Special thanks go to Gea. I would highly recommend using Nerva to anyone suffering with gut/nervous issues.

Just starting week 3 of this app. A little expensive but so worth the money. The hypnotherapy sessions are fantastic. The daily readings about IBS are very informative, in fact it is like doing a course in IBS. If you are not sure I would highly recommend doing the first weeks trial. Commit to this completely and you will see a positive change.
The soothing sound of her voice puts you into a relaxed state the program works. I did the 3 months and now have it for a year and will continue to renew.
Been using this for a few months. I signed up for a year. I had major diarrhea the other day that almost made me pass out. But because of Nerva, I was able to stay calm and not freak out or get too discouraged. I was able to normalize the next day…
Been using this for a few months. I signed up for a year. I had major diarrhea the other day that almost made me pass out. But because of Nerva, I was able to stay calm and not freak out or get too discouraged. I was able to normalize the next day and get my digestion back on track. Hypnosis works! I did self-hypnosis before to cure my insomnia that had plagued me for years. I cured myself in 3 weeks. So that’s why I signed up for Nerva. If is about reprogramming your subconscious. I will keep listening and doing the breathing exercises, which actually strengthen your hiatal muscles that support your stomach in addition to relaxing your body, until I don’t need to anymore.
I encountered a subscription price issue and reached out to Nerva via email. Gea promptly and effectively resolved the matter, ensuring my satisfaction. Thank you, Gea!
Not only benefitted my physical health by managing my IBS symptoms but also helped with my anxiety symptoms that were leading to IBS flare ups. Really helpful program
I had some trouble getting the app to work but the support team was amazingly quick to respond and were able to resolve the issue. Thank you Anne, Tia and Nerva!

At first I saw little change and was sceptical that it would make a difference to my longstanding ibs symptoms. At about week 5 I realised that I needed to combine Nerva with FODMAP and this was when I noticed improvements. FODMAP alone has not had this level of impact so I can only attribute the changes in my bowel to Nerva. I would love to see a similar programme for the bladder! Feeling much more positive about the future thanks to Nerva. Improvements have not been consistent and I’ve made other changes to my diet which have helped. (Cut out all caffeine) I feel that Nerva is part of the solution and is helping ‘urgency’ resulting from the overactive gut-brain.

I’ve completed the 6-week Nerva program, and I’ve seen a major improvement in my IBS symptoms. It has helped in a way an elimination diet never did. I feel calmer and less anxious, and my gut has felt better because of it. I’ve gone from daily flare-ups to hardly experiencing any at all. Even if I do have an issue, I don’t stress about it so much. My belly seems flatter because it’s less bloated. I am continuing with the maintenance program, though not as diligently, but even if I miss a few days, I find it’s still helping to maintain my results from the program.

I recently signed up for the Nerva free seven-day trial and provided my payment info for the regular full price cost of $149. I started using the app and felt that it would be helpful for my IBS issues. A few days after signing up at the full price I received a promotional email inviting me to sign up at 30% off. I used the customer service contact portal to ask if I could receive the discount even though I had originally accepted the offer at full price. Within 24 hours I received an email back from Anne at Nerva. She had already applied the discount and updated my subscription! Anne and Nerva provided great customer service and I am grateful for the discount. I am also happy to say that 3 weeks into the program I am already seeing positive changes in my gut issues. I am glad that I tried Nerva!

I am a yoga and meditation practitioner. Getting into the swing of things is fairly easy. But what excites me is that these lessons are aimed at a problem I have had most of my adult life. I don’t like taking drugs but I do for IBS. I’m confident that these lessons will work and I plan to continue through all the lessons. I look forward to them each day. Thank you.

Was going thru lots of body pain & constipated I was losing the motivation of living because of this problem but I found this app through Facebook and I try it out and has helped me a lot to do things that I haven’t done. I enjoy my life much better than before. Thank you, Nerva & for all the Docs that reach out to me on email & positive feedback it really helps a lot

Listening to Nerva made a difference from day 1. I felt calmer and more relaxed both physically and mentally. I feel it changed my relationship with my IBS and with my eating. I still use most days as a maintenance, and particularly if my IBS flares up for some reason . I found the initial six week course fascinating and enlightening, and really enjoyed learning about IBS , gut issues and the gut brain connection. I would highly recommend it
