I’ve just completed the 6 week programme and am so impressed with the improvement in my symptoms. Prior to starting I was having 5 loose bowel movements per day, had a lot of urgency, was using anti diarrhoeals, antispasmodics and was in a lot of pain. I felt low and anxious a lot of the time about my symptoms. It’s not a magic quick fix but if you’re prepared to put in the time (only 20mins per day) this app really works. I’m now only having 1-2 bowel movements a day, have stopped using medication and using safety behaviours and feel more in control of my symptoms than I have for a long time. Compared to how much seeing a hypnotherapist would cost this is such good value for money.
This is a wonderful program which has supported and actually helped me every day . I feel so much better and sure I can manage my IBS in the future. Many many thanks. Maureen
Game changing app. By far the best money I’ve ever spent on an Ibs/digestive health product. I’ve never left a review on an app like this but this was so helpful that I feel like I need to. Wishing you all the best, I hope Nerva helps you like it’s…
Game changing app. By far the best money I’ve ever spent on an Ibs/digestive health product. I’ve never left a review on an app like this but this was so helpful that I feel like I need to. Wishing you all the best, I hope Nerva helps you like it’s helped me.
This program is excellent and when I have a flare up, the difference one session makes for me is night & day. I go from feeling like crap to feeling just fine, I might still have only very slight & tolerable discomfort that I’ll gladly take any day…
This program is excellent and when I have a flare up, the difference one session makes for me is night & day. I go from feeling like crap to feeling just fine, I might still have only very slight & tolerable discomfort that I’ll gladly take any day over a full flare up of symptoms because I can function happily. Absolutely worth it!

I am on day 5. The first day I wasn’t sure if I would be able to go through with the meditations - I don’t really like sitting still for long. But I am now really getting in to it. On most days I get to a spot partway through the meditation where I am awake but not aware of my surroundings. In this unaware, meditative state I am at peace - it feels almost blissful! And then I am surprised it is done! Even though life is super busy and I barely have enough time for me, I look forward to the daily meditation.
I love everything about this app but the price. I used it for six months with great results but really can’t afford to keep renewing at current prices.

I liked visualizing how I will feel a year from now by being diligent in doing my daily Nerva session along with my daily exercise physical therapy session guided by my therapist to recover the strength in my body following chemo, and lengthy radiation treatments for breast cancer twice in a seven year period. During that time I also had reactions to medications that left heart and lung damage. I have come far in healing so far from using sheer will power so I am well aware of a strong mind body connection. I am so pleased that my daughter recommended Nerva after she used one of your other hypnosis programs. Thank you for guidance in healing myself even further. I truly appreciate the work your team put into developing Nerva. Also please tell the person who guides each session that she has the most beautiful mesmerizing voice I have ever heard.

I am a believer in the power of the mind and the power of the subconscious, so when I stumbled on this app to rewrite the connections between the second brain (enteric nervous system) and the brain as well as learn to relax and overcome the PTSD from countless episodes of IBS, I was all in. I followed the program as instructed missing only one or two days which I made up. It worked! I am (almost) perfect. Thank you.

Tried many things for IBS - supplements, diet, antibiotic etc. Thought I'd give this a try as it's free for 2 weeks and has no potential negatives. It reminds me of meditation but it relaxes my body to a whole new level. 5 days in I can say my digestion has improved. Still not perfect but as most of you know, this stuff can take time. If you're a stressed human, give this a shot.
I would not have paid for the app if I’ve known that the paid version is a repetition of the six free hypnotherapies. Got very bored in the end. I wish I would have known beforehand.
I've gone from desperate to full of hope in 4 days. I feel understood and calm. I'm in awe of what I have been able to accomplish in such a short time. Finally, after 5 years, something that works. A new me.

I have experienced a noticeable improvement in symptoms using this app that was recommended by my dietician and gastroenterologist. I have also found that any questions I had regarding the use of the app were responded to promptly and I always received a response the following day. I also learnt a great deal about IBS through the daily information that is provided as you work through the program. Definitely worth trying.
I am only on day 5 and it’s already so worth it! I have stress induced urgency…or should I say HAD! This has helped me so much! I have a trip tomorrow that would normally get me so stressed and full of issues, but I have been fine all week! THANK…

Very user- friendly and a great tool to use to calm your IBS symptoms. I’m on day 4 and I’ve been feeling an improvement since I’ve started using the app. The readings are interesting and succinct and I really look forward to the guided meditation everyday (the voice is so soothing!) I have never tried any form of meditating and I can’t believe how relaxed I feel afterwards!
I was sceptical but was willing to give a try as I have tried everything else (FODMAP, Iberogast, herbs etc) nothing helped. I’m currently on day two and my bloating is noticeably less, my pains are gone and my stomach is just very calm. In fact my…
I was sceptical but was willing to give a try as I have tried everything else (FODMAP, Iberogast, herbs etc) nothing helped. I’m currently on day two and my bloating is noticeably less, my pains are gone and my stomach is just very calm. In fact my overall health feels calm. The cost may put some people off but to be honest to feel this good I would pay and have paid a lot more. Will see how I’m feeling at the end of 6 weeks. 😀
Coming out of a bad bout with SIBO I had some lingering gut issues especially triggered by stress. Doing these sessions everyday over the course of 6 weeks SERIOUSLY improved symptoms. I would say I feel 99% better!! I can’t recommend this product…

Nerva takes a bit of time to get into but once you have there are definite benefits to the methodologies employed. I feel much calmer after a session and plan to keep on with it as I continue to learn how to control the stress impacting my body.

I noticed a significant reduction in IBS-C symptoms within the first two days. The deep relaxation sessions reminded my body how to let go and I started practicing the belly breathing much of the day. I listen to the recordings 2-3 times a day for maximum effect and now having 2 bowel movements a day where as before was struggling to have 1 every 3-4 days. Massive improvement 🙌🏼. And I’m only on day 4, excited to see how my baseline stress levels, breathing habits, and ability to relax my muscles continue to improve. I am managing endometriosis as well which is linked to this type of GI trouble (endo belly), candida, stress, and hormone imbalance. Thank you to the creators of this app, you’re doing great work to help us who have tried every diet, supplement, etc. We appreciate your help!!

This program has helped stop my everyday diarrhea I’ve suffered from for 4 years. The deep breathing exercises have made me feel calmer overall. The hypnosis calms me greatly also. I feel like I have my social life back as I canceled countless events. This program is amazing.

I never really understood the impact my mental health was having on the way I was digesting food. I realized that I developed an eating disorder from having IBS and SIBO that cause me to fear food. The fear would make me go into a state of fight or flight anytime I ate something I was worried my trigger a flare. The guilt about the food alone was causing the worst damage than any other theories about whether certain foods are causing these triggers. This hypnosis App is life changing! Accessing the sub conscious mind and removing that fear. Giving my self permission to eat all food in moderation, is so healing. The energy work and the barriers broken in the app are phenomenal. Every person with digestive issues needs this! I wish there was one for other ailments too!
It definitely helped with some IBS symptoms (I also recommend just increasing your daily fiber), but the meditations are some of the best I’ve found in general. I highly recommend!!

I’m new to IBS but after some bad flares I started trying to attack it from all levels: Sleeping more, water only 1 hour before or after eating, plenty of water per day, low FODMAP diet, exercising more, CBD oil, adaptogens, probiotic, prebiotics, intermittent fasting, and this Nerva app. This app is very well done. I have some prior experience with hypnotherapy and know that I am open to the suggestions that come with hypnotherapy so thought I’d give it a shot. The guided sessions are very intentionally done and do so much more than just relax you. They’re really specifically curated to help you repair the gut-brain connection for IBS specifically. I’m so glad I found this app. I feel much better than before. If I could only do 1 thing out of that list it’d be NERVA. (And second would be the drinking more water and only at non-mealtimes…this also made a huge difference for me)
