Nerva reviews

I don’t know if this app worked or my medication-caused GI symptoms resolved on their own, but I did notice an improvement. However, I found myself annoyed with the sessions after the first 3 because it’s just two relaxation exercises and maybe 4 different visualization exercises. I could not stay engaged with the repetition. The voice seems very AI. I would pay maybe 10% of this price for what you get.

I’m a bit disappointed after completing the programme that the app hasn’t helped me. My IBS is still pretty bad. I have completed the programme - I had really high hopes and felt sure it would work, but I haven’t seen any improvements…. The guarantee of ‘30 days or your money back’ doesn’t really make sense as the full programme is 6 weeks and it leads you on to continue by saying it’s quite normal you haven’t seen results yet. I was considering stopping at 30 days when I hadn’t seen the results, but the app encouraged me to give it longer. Having said that, the app is well designed, there’s lots of informative content on there, it’s easy to use, it works well and it’s interesting. If it had worked, it would be worth every penny. Sadly it didn’t - I still have lots of pain, IBS is still negatively impacting my life and I’m poorer by 125 quid.

I honestly think the app and the initiative behind it is amazing ! But $99 dollars for only three months is insane. For essentially a few pre recorded / guided body scans / meditation (‘hypnotherapy’ ) the price is too much. I Wish it was more accessible for people who have long term ibs and need the program on an ongoing basis.

I have completed about 20 sessions. I’m on my 4th week. Results are expected after 6 weeks. So anyone who tells you they had results within days is really an outlier. I have had no results yet. I am somewhat discouraged though, not due to the lack of results, but due to the content. While I have IBS or IBS like symptoms, there is way too much content about anxiety for me. I am not experiencing the issues they discuss in the hypnotherapy. Their words are not resonating with me. And there is a ton of reading and other activities to do besides the 16-17 min hypnotherapy session daily. It’s a lot of time. And when the content is not pulling you in, it’s hard to motivate to make all of that time.

— I like the information and hypnotherapy sessions. They have helped me to connect with my body and reduced tension and pain in my abdomen. — I would like to be able to choose the introductory part of the session. I don’t like the one where you notice things you see, things you hear, etc. I’d rather listen to the other introductions.

The hypnosis was excellent in getting me to relax. The daily reading was supportive in educating me about IBS. I felt the program was was more focused on IBS Symptoms of diarrhea and much less on constipation, and that was unfortunate for me. The hypnosis sessions, while good , were repetitive.

I have seen some excellent results using my 7 day free trial but unfortunately I cannot continue because of the up front cost. The price is fair but there aren’t any pay monthly options, only to pay $200 up front for a yearly membership. I’d really love the option to pay monthly because I would 100% continue!

I gave it a chance twice. So paid the price two times. It didn't make a major difference in my IBS GI symptoms. First time I completed the 6weeks. Second time I stopped at week 2 after seeing no results. Idk try it, it can help you but personally did nothing for me.

I am three weeks into using Nerva at the recommendation of my dietitian. While I have seen benefits from the program, and will continue to use it, I do not think it is worth the price. Initial communications from the app promised a new session every day for six weeks, and the truth is that there are only fourteen sessions repeated three times. Fifteen minutes daily of diaphragmatic breathing and positive affirmations is proving really helpful and effective for my IBS, but you could find a free hypnotherapy session on Youtube and commit to repeating this every day instead of spending $150.

Have done a couple of days and it is relaxing but honestly don’t find it much different from a headspace meditation. Also frustrating that they ask how much you can dedicate to the hypnotherapy but don’t have sessions that match. For example I selected 15 minutes and every session I have been assigned is 20 minutes long.

The good thing about this is it can help for most people with IBS. This is countered by the high cost and low quality. There are around 15 hypnosis recordings, which are repeated. The volume of many of them is uncomfortably inconsistent throughout. It would be so easy to improve.

My gastroenterologist suggested I try it. I’ve been having a lot of bloating and really bad stomach aches and medications were not helpful. I love more natural approaches to managing IBS. This didn’t do much for me. The sessions repeat from week to week and some are better than others. But overall didn’t have any effect on my IBS. Perhaps if this was done in person it would be different.

I do enjoy this program but find that it’s too much money. Sometimes symptoms take longer to get better which is different for each person, and after the 4 weeks you don’t have access to anything new except for the flare up exercises. If there was a coaching element where you could get support for your particular symptoms while using the app or somehow personalize the experience more it would be worth the cost in my opinion.

There’s just one huge annoyance - the way they handle access to the days. #1 if you miss a day you can’t go back and review the content. It’s just gone forever. And #2 the content resets to the next days content at midnight. I stay up late and late night is the best time for me. Unfortunately I’m now doing “tomorrow’s” session, today.

I enjoy using this app for the relaxation. It has maybe lessened some of my discomfort but no resounding effects. For what I have gotten out of it, the cost app is too high. I would also think for this price we would get more updated sessions on a regular basis. I would suggest some that we could use to go to sleep to. Thank you for the little help I have gotten.

I really wanted Nerva to work for me but unfortunately I fell into the bucket of ~20% of people who don’t really respond to hypnotherapy. Overall I still liked the app. It did help me in other ways (trying my best to maintain a positive mindset, trying to be more resilient, etc.) and the sessions and breathing exercises are very relaxing. The biggest con- I wish the pricing of the app was more upfront and transparent. I paid 200 (USD) for an annual subscription, but if you look online in blogs/forums you see many other price points discussed. Additionally I was charged foreign transaction fees, which maybe I should have expected but that caught me a bit by surprise. Would have been nice if that was mentioned at purchase because I would have used my travel credit card to pay in that case since it waives those fees.

I know Nerva is of great benefit to many people, but I’ve only done a couple of sessions. For some reason I’m unable to maintain focus throughout the meditation, and even remember to do it. And after the first one, I’m just not feeling any differently.

I would rate this a five if the app wasn’t so buggy for extremely basic things. The therapies are great and I genuinely feel like they’re helping with my abdominal pain. However, for such a high yearly price, I’d expect for the app to easily track number of sessions I’ve had and when I’ve completed something. I usually have to re-listen the end if a therapy so it notes it as complete. Also my number of days streak keeps going up and down randomly.

I wish I’d found out about this app much sooner! The improvement of IBS symptoms has been much greater than trying to follow low fodmap diet. A hypnotherapy session leaves me so relaxed and feeling refreshed. I’m also noticing that my sleep is better. If I wake in the night I stay relaxed and am able to get back to sleep. I’d highly recommend this!
