I find myself looking forward to stealing this time for myself(I am finding it a bit difficult but am taking this seriously) I feel the relaxation wash over me. Chronically constipated for 30+ years, I am seeing a glimmer of hope, this might be what I needed all along. Day two I had the urge to go, this really doesn’t happen anymore… And? It happened, not healthy looking yet, but it happened on it’s own- WOW!

I have felt from the beginning that the hypnotic voice is that of a close and trusted friend. I am grateful for her presence in my life. I like the time we spend together. I know that the information I have been given about the response my mind and body will have to the use of the Nerva app indicate it may take time. And truly, I do not feel impatient, but I believe it has already begun to help me. Maybe what has helped most is the familiarity of the format, as I have meditated daily for over a decade now. And another pleasure is just the hope for improving that Nerva offers. I have been to several specialists, I take daily meds, I have been through nine weeks of physical therapy for my diagnosed pelvic dysfunction, and constantly I monitor what I eat. But Nerva has offered me, what seems right now, to be something much more attuned to a natural therapy. Thank you.
Now on the 5th week into the Nerva program, I am beginning to have relief from worrying about my condition. I have gradually been more adventurous in my food choices. I have noticed that I have less fear, more acceptance, not just in the area of digestion, but seemingly other aspects of my life.

I really found this app useful in alleviating IBS symptoms. The customer service was also extremely swift and helpful when I had an issue with my subscription.

I have been recommending Nerva to anyone I know, and will continue to do so. For many years I denied that my IBS was stress based as I didn’t “feel nervous in the moment”. Through the daily readings, Nerva helped me to understand the effect that subconscious stress can have on the body (in my case, a high intensity job and other chronic pain conditions). Nerva has completely changed my life. Gone are the flares before meeting friends, a big event, a meal out. My quality of life has massively improved. Once removing the stress component of my IBS I could see more clearly the foods that were causing issues. I will caveat my huge improvements by saying that I also starting taking antidepressants and more portion control of high FODMAP foods. But nothing is off the menu now. Thank you Nerva!

I’ve been suffering from IBS symptoms for 6 years. I was initially skeptical of this program but tried it out of desperation. It’s turned out to be the one thing that’s helped me nearly eliminate my symptoms. I no longer have any urgency on my commute to work. So, so grateful! Can’t recommend it enough.

Great app
I have been using this app for a couple of months now and it really works. Give it a try. What have you got to lose. I love the relaxation time just for me. 15 minutes a day in a chaotic life. It has become MY time.

Changed my life
Within 4 weeks, I felt in control of my IBS. now, months later, I almost never have any symptoms at all. I eat whatever I want and stopped all my supplements. It’s amazing. So grateful!

My days are calmer, and I feel myself feeling gentler than in recent weeks. My stomach feels very relaxed as does my body. This helps me more than I thought it would .

I am not a person who thinks I could be hypnotized. But I started the App with a confidence that it would help me. And I did begin to feel better quite rapidly. I may not be cured, but so definitely better!!!
Just listening to the soothing voice is a treat!

Won’t say it’s an all in cure for certain, but I will say I started using the app a year ago and did notice significant improvement in my symptoms. The sessions are very soothing - the first few months, I would complete the sessions and then fall into the deepest sleep! Over time, decided to use the app at night for a two for one deal - gut health plus sleep meditation ;-). Even now I’m on the maintenance plan, I find if I’m stressed or anxious, the app is an easy go-to. I still watch what I eat, but the app has been good to address the mental side of IBS for me.

I believe in the basis of this app and am happy to give it a try. IBS is a nerve issue and has to be dealt with accordingly.

This app should be part of any ibs treatment program set my gp and guy specialist as a way to combat the pain and discomfort, I have alot of issues form connective tissue disease so will Never be pain free until I met this app only 5 days and when I’m glad I purchased after trial as the experience is better at relieving discomfort than any medication I have used , like yesterday went to toilet without pain first time in years and I have massive medical team due to illness and never has anyone been able to provide this relief im in shock and shared on support page for my condition and to my surprise a few have tried and 12 months on there still wonder how the app changed their lives and honestly we have interception of bowels , ibs d and c and limited movement yet yesterday I went out for lunch on day 3!! I will give review in 6 weeks when finished course but the improvements so far is mind blowing, thank you to dr sorry I forgot last name for this discovery of hard work to find a solution and what I can’t believe is my medication amount reduced ie buscopan , reflux has settled a bit live the app thank you

The hypnosis - it is very special did help me most of time to go to deep relaxation, which normally difficult to do, I want to keep doing to maintain, helps me to relax my brain and be more come, it did help my stomach I had occasional upset stomach like 3 times a month for a couple of days leaving me tied and often bloating, pain and gas which related that I had PTSD in the past and complicated grief, other changes in my life as changing countries and learning to drive. I had first month free from upset stomach now after 3 years, what a progress!

Started the 6 weeks program 5 days ago. The hypnotherapy is amazing, it’s so calming and helpful. The information provided is informative and helps you to understand the reasons why things are happening. The overall feeling after 5 days is positive, I’m feeling a lot calmer, less ibs symptoms ( some still there) and I’m keen to carry on and see what I personally can achieve.
I’ve now completed the first 6 weeks, and feel a lot more in control and have learnt strategies to apply when needed. I am a lot happier and feel more calmness in my life. Thank you Nerva for giving me my life back.

I signed up for the app after trying the 7 day free trial. I was diagnosed with IBS a few months ago and have been trying and failing to deal with it through finding triggers, changing my diet and taking peppermint oil. Considering my days seemed to completely revolve around these strategies, my success has been very limited and feeling generally poorly all day. However, after using the app for less than 2 weeks, I feel more positive/upbeat, my sleep has improved (remarkable as this has been an issue for 3-4 years) and I have recognised that I am full of stress and physical tension. I have 3 chronic conditions as well as IBS and think they must/might be all connected. I have often wondered if there is a way of speaking to my subconscious to help my conditions and am hoping that my daily practice with the app is a doorway to this, and that I will be able to get some relief from IBS and maybe even my other conditions.

I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. But that never held me back from trying it because after several years (and thousands of dollars) of doctors and testing and NEVER getting any answers except for some blanket “anxiety” answers, THIS WORKS. I’ve only been using it a week and I’ve already seen drastic decrease in feeling crappy during the day (I didn’t even take Pepto this week!), nausea and pain has been minimal. I’m already even seeing a difference in bathroom habits.
I was only able to do the trial for now, as money is short, but I assure you that the cost is LOW compared to the amount of money that I’ve spent on medications and doctors in the past. I will definitely be revisiting it immediately when my personal funds allow.
Also, side note: I have PTSD and sometimes I would be triggered during sessions and I would feel like I wasn’t able to focus enough but it still all somehow still worked. THIS is what doctors need to suggest when their answer is “anxiety”. The education of WHY and a SOLUTION.

Have only completed the first week but am very surprised to have less anxiety, better sleep and improved gastrointestinal function already. I have had IBS and panic disorder for decades and this program is the most effective therapy I’ve tried. Even my fibromyalgia is better. I’m hopeful that the good results will continue and expect I’ll become a longtime maintenance customer!

Into the 3rd weekI started to notice a slight improvement and symptoms were less than they had been for the last year. I am enjoying the relaxation time each day. A great 17 min to look forward to! I am in the maintenance segment now and recommend to anyone to give it a try. Well worth the money if you can alleviate symptoms naturally. Give it a try! What have you got to lose except some horrible symptoms!

Questions about Nerva
What the reviews don’t cover.
Does Nerva work?
Nerva is a self-guided gut-directed hypnotherapy program that works with the gut–brain connection. Reviews describe individual experiences; clinical research looks at outcomes across a group.

What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?

Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
