I have had gut issues for years and finally got so fed up with not getting help from my gastroenterologist except for recommending drugs which I never wanted to take. So I changed my diet which helped a lot however I would have severe pain after eating. I am a therapist and I know the value of relaxation and deep breathing and practice it every day. However I had no idea that using hypnotherapy could help my stomach pain. I caught on very quickly to consciously relaxing my stomach when I was in pain and my pain issues were reduced by approximately 80% within two weeks. I feel so much more in control now of this issue and thank the physician who did the research on this and made her work available through this app. I am very grateful thank you so much!

It’s hard to believe an app exists that offers advice and meditations on addressing the symptoms of IBS. It feels like a gift. I listen to the meditations after each meal, and I can feel the quality of my life slowly improving as both my mind and body learn that they are safe.

This course of hypnotism and meditation is beautiful to listen to. The scenarios are lovely. The voice is soothing. It helped me get to nearly normal with my gut trouble within 6 days. I recommend it to anyone suffering from conditions of the Digestive System, which are not just exhausting, but mentally debilitating as well.
I look forward to my session each day. Thank you.

I’ve only done 5 days but am very pleased with the content & will continue on for the 6 weeks. The daily readings are very educational & the right quantity to not overwhelm. I love the hypnosis. This is my first ever doing something like this. It’s so calming. I love her voice. Im excited & hopeful to learn more and get better. Also feel like the cost of the app is well worth it for what you get at least so far.

I’ve spent years trying to get help from Doctors. Always the same tests, always no diagnosis. Finally found a dietician who saw me as a whole person that didn’t need another diet straight up, but rather some education & options. This app changed my life. I lived with pain every single day. The pain determined what I could wear, my mental state, my physical abilities & even my intimate relationship with my husband. This app changed all of it. I now live without any gut pain for the vast majority of the time. When I do get a flare up, I know how to deal with it. It couldn’t be simpler, I can’t recommend it highly enough!

After six months of western medicine, herbs, acupuncture, tests that showed nothing and elimination diets I was sinking into deeper anxiety and depression. So when I found this app it was like “why not!”
I haven’t had a “bad day” in almost two months! Something is working. I am also eating dairy again with zero problems since my system is calm.
Thank you!

For all of the work I think I’ve done through my health journey, this has been one of the most consistent and grounding things I’ve done to support my well being and healing. In fact was one of the best days yet. I found myself so deeply connected to what healing actually is, a relationship between mind, body and spirit. My work over the past five weeks with the Nerva program has led me there.

I completed Nerva a few weeks ago and it seems to have worked miracles. I feel better than I have felt in years. My stomach no longer aches constantly, my belly has stopped protruding so much (Not flat yet, but better😃), and I haven’t had an attack since I completed the Nerva program. I’m amazed!
I have suffered with serious IBS-C for over 20 years. I have literally tried every conceivable remedy/treatment around and done lots of research to try to relieve my IBS symptoms. At best, I received some relief with acupuncture, yoga and numerous supplements, as well as a modified diet, e.g., the low FODMAP diet. None of these, in total, did the trick!
However, Nerva has had an incredibly positive impact on my IBS. I won’t call it a “cure” yet but am cautiously optimistic that these very positive results will hold!!!!
Thank you to the NERVA community for this powerful tool to treat IBS! I enthusiastically recommend this product! (And this is not a paid endorsement!)

The best tbh thing I ever did
Having suffered with ibs for years and then health anxiety on top, I convinced myself I was dying. The doctor reassured me and then I went on to using Nerva. My symptoms have now substantially improved. I highly recommend this.

I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for this app. I’ve suffered with IBS for a long time now and my IBS symptoms tend to be started by anxiety. This then becomes a vicious cycle as the IBS symptoms tend to prolong the feelings of anxiety. This app has helped me break/considerably reduce the vicious cycle between my gut and my brain. My IBS spasms and discomfort in my stomach are considerably less, even after anxiety triggers and I am coping a lot better than before. It’s also enabling me to calm my anxiety a lot quicker as my gut feels calm. I must admit I would never have tried this app if someone I know hadn’t tried it first, as I appreciate the initial fee is expensive but I must say that in my experience the improvements have been amazing and well worth the fee. It’s definitely improved my quality of life so far.

I have struggled for years with urgency, and the Nerva app helped calm my gut and connect it with my brain and rewire the messages of catastrophic thinking. So grateful for this gift. The practices of mindfulness and breathing are healing on many levels. I am enjoying long walks without hyper-vigilance. Such a gift. Thanks, Nerva team!

I have had so much more progress managing my IBS and overwhelming health anxiety after completing the course on this app then I had with months of therapy and food restrictions.
It took me almost the full course before I started seeing noticeable changes. So stick with it!
I’m bouncing back from episodes so much quicker than I was before. Bouncing back more quickly also makes me feel happier and hopeful. I’m actually looking forward to the future again.
I also just started their other app as well, Mindfulness, only on week one for that one currently. Trying to add an extra layer of progress on my anxiety.
Thank you so much!! 😭 💜

I read an article on NIH stating the success rate of hypnotherapy on IBS. While searching for somewhere to try this, I came across this app. I figured it was less than I would pay for one session with a hypnotist and decided to ty it. I do a session each morning before I get out of bed, and I am almost done with week 6. I knew my gut issues were mainly triggered by moments of high anxiety, and they were becoming worse and more frequent. This app has really helped both my mind and gut to be more calm. I noticed in other reviews that some people complained about the sessions repeating, but it hasn’t bothered me. I actually have noticed my progress this way. I wasn’t sure what the daily readings would be like, but I have gotten a lot out of them. I am really happy with the results I got from this program and it couldn’t be easier to use!

I’ve been using Nerva for five days and have now had two totally normal, symptom free “bathroom” days in a row. I know I’m not very far into the program, but so far it’s going really well.

Hypnotherapy really works. My digestion has been much better without having made any other changes. About the 3rd week I noticed big improvements and I’m less fearful about what I eat!

The Body keeps the score .. I think Body Mind connection & how our mental health can quickly manifest into disease and physical ailments needs to be taught in school . Along with yoga meditation and mindfulness.

I don’t usually write app reviews unless I am having difficulty with a user error ;). I have an autoimmune disorder that comes with all sorts of annoying symptoms including food allergies/sensitivities and IBS. I have tried everything to manage the IBS without any sort of long term success. I have finally found relief through this app! It’s so wonderful to be able to hang out with friends and go places without worrying about tummy retaliation! I don’t even have words to describe how wonderful it is to not be in pain and bloated all the time. Thank you!!!!!!! Just…..Thank you!!!!!

I’m too stressed out and therefore I get constipated. Then I’m stressed out about being stressed out. This is the only thing that calms me

Does Nerva work?
