This app has really helped my IBS symptoms, well worth the investment!
The daily readings have been very informative and the hypnotherapy sessions have felt ver calming and relaxing.
My bowel movements are already better, I need a discount to pay for the app; I cannot pay the full price
This app / program is worth the cost. I am feeling better and am very happy that I tried it
Every day I look forward to the reading and hypnotherapy session.
I’m enjoying my hypnotherapy sessions so far.

Hi. I have had IBS for approx 30 - 40 year. I was taking 6 to 8 gastro stop every day just to survive. I tried everything for Chinese herbal tea acupuncture to every little thing that I could try to fix it. I hated going out. My kids hated it. Everywhere I went I ended up in the toilet and that was if we made it to where ever it was we were going to. I said no to so many invitations. I remember being so bad that I felt like I just didn’t want to live like this any more. I would be better off dead. When I read about NERVA I was very skeptial. I saw the add and read it quite a few times and thought what’s the use nothing helps me. Then my daughter sent me the link. I thought maybe this is a sign I should try it. I didn’t have anything to lose but the IBS. I was feeling good results in a week or two. It has now been about 5 months. I have so many good days now. I cannot believe it. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it’s a miracle cure. But I am learning to relax. I go so many places now without panicking. I do have bad episodes now and then. But I do my relaxation exercises and it helps so so much. Like this morning. I was having a really bad morning. I kept doing my breathing exercises. I told my grandson don’t be surprised if we need to stop at a couple of toilet on the way (normally I would have taken gastro stop and cancelled going anywhere) but I didn’t. I went. I didn’t stop at any toilets on the way and I made it there. It was so so good. I don’t know how many times now I have gone shopping and not visited a toilet at all while I was there. I would recommend NERVA to anyone with IBS to give it a go. I know I’m not completely without IBS but I haven’t been this well for years I have been this relaxed in years either. I am still going to continue listening to the recordings for a little while more. I want to get better and better. Thank you NERVA.

Just starting on week 3 of listening and am already starting to feel better. Have had 4 days in a row without any real pain or issues except for the odd day here and there where I’ve had a bit of a flair up. Bowel motions are back to normal even with the flair ups tho a little more frequent. Hopefully by week six I’ll be feeling even better and have longer stints between flairs. I seriously would recommend this app to anyone who is suffering from ibs. It’s easy to listen to the sessions and only takes 15 minutes a day off your time. I do it as soon as i walk in the door from work as my down time before joining the family and find I’m much calmer and happier. I started to feel the results by week 2 so here’s to getting better and better. Update: Well I’ve finished the 6 weeks and am on the maintenance program now and have to say I’m sitting at 95-100% better. Sure i still get the odd day where i have a very mild flair but on the whole I’m pretty well cured if you can call IBS ever cured. I still listen every day when i get home as it’s now part of my wind down routine and i look forward to it for the relaxation aspect as well as the breathing exercises. One thing that could make this awesome app even better would be to include some hypnotherapy tracks in the maintenance section geared towards anxiety and stress as this can also be a big driver for IBS. I’ve downloaded mindset to listen to but 100% much prefer the female voice in Nerva and find she fully relaxes me and i enter a hypnotic state really quickly. Please please please add this into the maintenance section to make this the single best app available.

Worth doing and persisting, would like to have a slightly longer sessions. voice and sound excellent.
Calming relaxing sessions. Feeling like this will help with symptoms
Great program! Interesting reading before the guided sessions. It makes a lot of sense!
Just started, but i enjoy the daily sessions and look forward to positive results.
Although I’m mad at how expensive this app. It works and it did help me. Worth a shot if you can afford it.
This app has really helped me improve health. It is a game changer for sure and worth every penny!

I was highly skeptical of hypnotherapy but after doing some research and discussing this program with my doctor, decided to give it a go. The results were nothing short of astounding. After only a few sessions, Nerva kick-started my sluggish digestion into gear and “got things moving”, resulting in an immediate weight loss of about 5 lbs. I had more energy during the day (most likely because my body was eliminating waste more effectively than it had in years) and I felt more comfortable in both my clothes and my skin. During the 6 weeks of daily Nerva sessions, I also slept better. I typically completed my daily sessions in the early evening. While I would often fall asleep during the latter half due to being in a deeply relaxed state, I would awaken refreshed, be able to tackle my nightly to-do list, and also found myself better able to fall asleep again later and stay asleep for the entire night. Having tried the low FODMAP diet in the past, I can honestly say that Nerva is much more effective, time efficient, and stress relieving. I found the low FODMAP diet to be stress inducing due to the need to read labels, consider portions, and eliminate many foods that I previously enjoyed. This diet caused me a lot of social anxiety as well since most social events are centered around food. I now know that my IBS is clearly linked to my brain-gut connection and not necessarily high FODMAP foods. My gut is a lot happier now that I am able to eat a highly varied diet and Nerva has helped me re-program the signals my gut receives when under stress. Bottom line: I highly recommend this program. My sincere thanks to Dr. Simone Peters and her team for putting together this incredible resource! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! The change you are effecting in people’s lives is far-reaching and it is REAL!
It is easy to access and put into my routine. Not sure if it’s had an impact yet, as it’s only the fourth day.
The hypnosis sessions are helpful and the readings interesting.
Thank you for this opportunity. Already I can feel seven years of gastric challenges positively changing.
Great! It’s only day 5 and it started helping my IBS since day 1. Thank you!!!

I’ve had quite serious digestive issues on and off for over 5 years. They tend to flare up to a debilitating level (ie not being able to work, enjoy holidays, leave the house for long periods of time) for months at a time and I’ve undergone all types of invasive testing and diets to no avail. Nothing has worked so I’ve been willing to try absolutely anything as the years have gone on. Worth noting that Ive previously been very skeptical of mediation in general, just not my thing. Amazingly, after about 10 days I started seeing a dramatic reduction in my symptoms after using Nerva everyday. I must caveat that simultaneously I’ve been following a relatively low FODMAP diet and consciously trying to reduce stress on my body, but without a doubt Nerva has contributed to the reduction in symptoms (I have tried these things before Nerva and they have not helped at all). I am now on week 5 with nearly 3 clear weeks of virtually no symptoms. This is the best my stomach has been in years and I feel happier and healthier than ever. I have no doubt that there is a mental component to this, and believing that it will help you may well be a factor in its effectiveness. That being said, if you have tried everything and don’t know where else to go, it is a very small price to pay for something that could change your life for the better. Thank you to those who made this app, it has truly changed my life !
This has helped calm my lower digestive tract. I thought it might be worth a try & it was!
I like the sessions because they are short and deep. Hopefully, I can heal myself with it.
