This program has helped me when medicine hasn’t been able to do much. Changing my diet didn’t help much either. I hope it’s always available. You do have to be consistent, I started to see results after doing it every day after three weeks. I’m on maintenance now and sometimes still have to go back to every day especially if anything stressful is going on. The breathing exercises are helpful too.

I am really enjoying the readings and the hypnotherapy. Readings are fascinating. Learning more about IBS. I thought I knew a lot but there have really been some advances lately. The idea that it is not food and more about my gut reacting to life is surprising to me. I do not feel like a stressed person. I am curious to see what changes will happen.

I’m not new to hypnosis and these are great sessions/recordings. The effects could be doubled if paired with subliminal recordings, though. I listen to a generic healing 8 hour subliminal while I sleep and started noticing the biggest difference when I was doing both hypnosis + subliminal. If Nerva could make a specific subliminal for the stomach to pair with this system they could vastly improve results, I think.

I rarely review anything but having completed the initial 6 week Nerva course I had to write a review. It has been so worthwhile doing this course. I have learnt so much and more than that have found the hypnotherapy sessions very relaxing and in turn have seen a big reduction in my symptoms. I would encourage anyone to have a go as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Remember hypnotherapy is totally different to the stuff you will have seen in shows. It is simply suggestions while you are in a deep state of relaxation. The scientific reading bit is highly educational and learning about the sympathetic and para sympathetic systems has been extremely helpful to me. A big thank you to all this involved in producing this app. :)

I was diagnosed with IBS-C and was completely frustrated. Nothing seemed to work for me except an extremely strict diet. Until I found Nerva! I’d had success with hypnotherapy before and I’m so glad I took a chance on this! I’m able to eat almost completely normal again. I do still have to watch some things but I feel completely different. This program has been life changing for me!

Calm
8 years ago when my IBS suffering was the worst I found that patting my stomach and talking nicely to it resulted in less pain. Now I see I was on the right track and these sessions are taking it a big step further. I am very excited.

I’m a healthcare practitioner that has worked with patients’ with gut discomfort for years. I’ve know for years that their discomfort is both physical and an imbalanced nervous system. I too have experienced GI discomfort for over 10 years since having Lyme disease and not balancing stress. There were limited tools and many require hours of time daily. Till now. This is one of the best tools I’ve found. It’s easy to use AND effective. Don’t wait. Commit to 20-30 minutes a day and feel better within weeks to a few months. You deserve to feel great!

Loving the hypno. Love the voices and the content that I can recall. I’m almost too scared to say I think it is starting to work. Can this be possible🤞🏻 after all this time. So grateful for the work that has been done to get to this.

Using Nerva has literally changed my life! After suffering badly for many years with IBS, I didn’t at first believe this could make any difference, but decided to give it a go. Yes - it’s a commitment to do every day for six weeks, but you quickly get into the habit and actually look forward to the daily sessions. In my opinion, the price is worth every penny and is something I will continue to use. My symptoms are so much better and I can finally get on and enjoy life. Take a chance and try for yourself!

I was open to the possibility of change through the Nerva app. I have not been disappointed with the results. I feel much better, have far more days without symptoms. A great majority of days. If I feel a bit off in my stomach or bowels I just do some deep breathing and the symptoms usually abate. I plan to continue using the guided breathing indefinitely. Thank you!

I’m four days into Nerva. The readings are insightful & the hypnosis sessions are very calming and enjoyable. I’ve tried many western medical approaches over the last 2+ years. Some things helped temporarily, others caused anxiety inducing setbacks. I believe in the power of the mind and the gut-brain connection. I’m cautiously optimistic for Nerva…so far, so good. 😊

love this app!
Nerva has made a difference in my anxiety around digestive troubles. I approach everything with a calmer mindset—and I don’t seem to get as worked up if I have any symptoms, so they don’t last long.

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?
