I have had IBS and multiple other chronic diseases for close to 30 years. I’m currently in the best health I’ve been in over those 30 years in part due to Nerva. It is a fantastic program—easy to follow and very helpful. It helped me move into a more manageable long-term eating approach as Low-FODMAP was working for me, but was very difficult for me to stick with over time. Thank you Nerva! Also, I had a great experience with their customer service staff. They were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!!
It’s only been four days so It’s really hard to give a qualified thumbs up but yeah it appears to be working it’s calming I’ve had two days consecutively of less discomfort I am making other changes as well so it’s hard to say but so far I like it

When I got this app I was in so much abdominal pain that I was having trouble working and doing daily activities. Within a week, I began to understand and experience the anxiety and gut-pain loop, but more importantly I found relief. After a few weeks, I got my life back and the pain was gone! I love this app and highly recommend it to others.
The guide in this program has the most beautifully calming and interesting voice. It is perfect for me! Already, my body starts to relax when I hear her voice and I am at say 6. The visual and mental cues are easy and helpful to follow. I am loving…

I saw results pretty quickly, the gut brain connection is amazing. I also had to contact the app at one point, because of a mistake I made, and they were super responsive and got everything squared away for me. I would definitely recommend Nerva to anyone with tummy issues!

I’m so pleased with Nerva. IBS is always a work in progress for me but I truly believe in this tool. It’s becoming an important part of my healing process. As a bonus, I’ve wanted to meditate for years, and I’ve never been this consistent but Nerva helps me sit down each day. I truly look forward to my Nerva time!
I was super skeptical about trying “gut-related hypnotherapy”, but after my GI doctor told me “you’ll eventually figure it out” (because none of the medications or low FODMAP diet were helping by IBS-C)… I was feeling rather desperate and on my own.…
I was super skeptical about trying “gut-related hypnotherapy”, but after my GI doctor told me “you’ll eventually figure it out” (because none of the medications or low FODMAP diet were helping by IBS-C)… I was feeling rather desperate and on my own. Nerva helped change up what was going on and I went 6 months without any issues after the program. I recently had a set back, so I am starting over again. I don’t mind - I feel more positive after the sessions and it really does help. I would recommend Nerva to any one who has tried lots of IBS treatments without success.
I was very sceptical at first but this is an incredibly effective tool for IBS. The reading modules help you to really understand the condition and how your gut and brain interact and the practical sessions are so relaxing whilst also retraining your…
I was very sceptical at first but this is an incredibly effective tool for IBS. The reading modules help you to really understand the condition and how your gut and brain interact and the practical sessions are so relaxing whilst also retraining your brain at a subconscious level. I highly recommend giving it a try

It was really helpful to me and it definitely worked. I recommend investing in it. The support is also very good, they answer straight away to all your questions and concerns. The meditation can be a bit repetitive but is made for the purpose of memorising techniques for controlling the mind and body.
I was skeptical about Nerva at first, but it is more than worth the time and money! Nerva taught me so much about how the mind works - the daily teachings about things like hypervigilance and catastrophic thinking were so incredibly helpful for not…
I was skeptical about Nerva at first, but it is more than worth the time and money! Nerva taught me so much about how the mind works - the daily teachings about things like hypervigilance and catastrophic thinking were so incredibly helpful for not only IBS, but for managing anxiety and other chronic health issues. I look forward to the sessions everyday and have seen improvement in not only how I feel, but how I think! Thank you, Nerva!
I’m thoroughly enjoying my Nerva sessions. I look forward to each session and love that I’m already feeling more relaxed and in control of my gut. Thank you
I recently started using Nerva and I’m really impressed. I’m terrible at trying to stay on track with things like this but gentle daily reminders and the day tracker help. To begin with I found the meditations too long and gave feedback on this. The…
I recently started using Nerva and I’m really impressed. I’m terrible at trying to stay on track with things like this but gentle daily reminders and the day tracker help. To begin with I found the meditations too long and gave feedback on this. The team have listened and the sessions are now 15 minutes instead of 20. It was really good to feel like the team actually listened! Additionally, I can restart my program at any time - helpful for somebody who falls off the band wagon occasionally! I’d definitely recommend giving it a go.
After completing the program a second time I noticed a positive improvement in my gut health. I am continuing with the maintenance program as I feel the need for it which at this point is a few times a week. It hasn’t cured all of my stomach issues…
After completing the program a second time I noticed a positive improvement in my gut health. I am continuing with the maintenance program as I feel the need for it which at this point is a few times a week. It hasn’t cured all of my stomach issues but has helped significantly.
I have tried for two years now to get even the slightest bit of relief - finally Nerva has helped me calm down (stress being my number 1 trigger) and I can complete daily activities with my mind being distracted - something I couldn’t before! This…
I have tried for two years now to get even the slightest bit of relief - finally Nerva has helped me calm down (stress being my number 1 trigger) and I can complete daily activities with my mind being distracted - something I couldn’t before! This is a great app. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Never in a million years thought I could get help like this from an app… within a week of starting I felt different. I’m almost at the end of the program now and the changes to my day to day are monumental. Thanks for helping me feel better🧡

I’m only on day 11 and already can feel so many benefits Thank you and looking forward to learning so much more … I’ve now just completed the 6 week program and I’ve been pain free for a full 2 weeks - this is the first time in 3 years…I will always be so very very grateful 🙏🏻
This helped my IBS and helped my calming & sleeping patterns! I would definitely recommend and use again (if needed). I continued with the maintenance program too☺️

I did the “homework “ for 5 months without missing a single day and now I finally see the change. My digestion and symptoms improved tremendously. I never was able to get into the hipnosis but I listened as a meditation every day at the same time. Consistency is the key. Now I am enjoying the new recordings and I do it 3 or 4 times a week. Very happy with the results. Money well spent. Thank you !
I am absolutely loving the daily hypnotherapy sessions, the length is ideal (15min) and I feel deeply restored. I often practice them 2x a day and it feels like heaven to sink into deep relaxation. I’ve noticed improved BM by the end of week one (I…
I am absolutely loving the daily hypnotherapy sessions, the length is ideal (15min) and I feel deeply restored. I often practice them 2x a day and it feels like heaven to sink into deep relaxation. I’ve noticed improved BM by the end of week one (I have been actively healing with an intense SIBO protocol and fodmap/SCD diet for 1.5 years … along with singing, nervous system work and therapy, however this app feels like the missing link for daily Practice)
The product has worked for me really well even though I was on it for a really short period of time. And I had a interaction with Gea from the customer service team, she is really great and really helpful!
I finally feel like I have developed some control over these IBS symptoms that have been so painful and disruptive in my life. Thank you Nerva! I am forever grateful!

I was initially unsure about this app but after reading the reviews and journal articles I thought I’d give it a go - and I’m so glad did! I started seeing improvements in my symptoms after 2 weeks and it really helped me manage stress as well (which I previously thought was very well managed). I would 100% recommend to anyone who has IBS. Worth every penny!
