I’ve been struggling with IBS for a long time. Even with good nutrition and health routine, the stress and nerve factors of this condition make discomfort, stomach pain, bloating and unpredictable bowels are literally a thorn in my side. This condition is complicated and misunderstood, even by some doctors and nutritionists. I’m so grateful that the science is catching up. Making the connection between the brain, the stomach and the nervous system is the missing link.
Tailored nutrition, sleep, regular exercise and managing stress are of utmost important and this app has become part of the healthy routine.

Week four update- I am still enjoying the app, and the texts so far this wk are especially insightful. I do wish there was more variety in the scenarios, bc that would be more engaging, but I still benefit from hearing them repeatedly. Overall very thankful for this app!

This program is truly wonderful! It relaxes me generally and calms my gut specifically like nothing else has before. I find myself using the imagery from the hypnotherapy when I need it during the day and at night. An unexpected bonus is the program staff, who are highly responsive to questions and comments. At the same time, I wish there were more and better readings, especially about the mind-gut connection. I’d also like to learn additional practical tools for breaking faulty connections between mind and gut. Otherwise, this is an amazing program that anyone with GI problems can tremendously benefit from. It is reasonably priced — far less expensive and more effective than any meds, diets and docs I’ve tried in the past!

Wow, I didn’t know what to expect with this app (never done anything like hypnotherapy before), but I’m so pleasantly surprised! Just by listening to the short session each day, the intensity of my symptoms rapidly decreased. While I still deal with some bloating from time to time, it’s never painful like before. And my nausea is almost completely gone. Super happy to have found this app and program!

I started this program during an episode of gastric distress (not sure if ibs or smthg else) and I really do think it’s helped me. After each session my gut feels physically calmed. I listen to each session twice a day, and I think the soothing words are already permeating and quieting my anxious mind. Looking forward to the next weeks.

I can not recommend this app enough. Recently due to my IBS symptoms I felt like I was at breaking point, nothing was working and my poor physical health was having a huge impact on my mental health. I don’t know how, but this app gave me relief within 3 days!! It’s worth every cent. I’m so grateful I found this app, and Astrid at the help desk is so lovely and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m on week 3 and have not experienced any flares since starting, which is amazing because they’d been frequent prior to using this app, and not even my usual prescribed medication was helping ease.
I’ve noticed I’m now much calmer (even with Covid work stress), sleep better, and most importantly feel better!
Great app and glad I invested (very reasonably priced vs a specialist or ongoing medication). Would recommend to anyone who is struggling to manage IBS!

I love the routine this app gives to me working on my gut health. In the past I would just do a mindful exercise for a day or two and then forget. I have seen much better results after being consistent for a few weeks and hearing different exercises/hypnosis sessions has been helpful.

Feeling Better
Nerva has allowed me to find a different perspective for feeling better without the medical aids that are available for intestinal issues relating to constipation ... which is relaxing and a new perspective of dealing with my stomach problems

Great App
Very helpful App for IBS symptoms. Data based and super helpful to calm sympathetic nervous system. A bonus is that it can aid falling asleep. I do the sessions at least once a day as suggested, and then again at bedtime and voila...zzzz.

I was skeptical at first, especially because I don’t seem to be particularly susceptible to hypnosis, having tried many apps and in person hypnotherapy without much success. However, I was desperate and with so many great reviews I decided to give Nerva a chance. This program has definitely improved my symptoms. I still have pain some days but it has diminished considerably and my bowel movements are a lot more regular (I have IBS M) and most of the time painless. At the moment of this review I am on week 5 of the 6 week program and I expect to continue improving as I continue to listen to the hypnosis sessions every day.

I am already noticing a reduction in the anxious feelings that I have been experiencing and the IBS symptoms have definitely eased hence my sigh of relief as I have been suffering with this for some time.

It’s been a lifesaver!! I can’t express how grateful I am. I was hesitant at first about the ability of hypnotherapy to help, and about the money, but I’m convinced. It’s been incredible. I now want to try hypnotherapy for other issues I’ve struggled with as well, it’s been so helpful! I love how optimistic it’s making me feel.
I have come to the conclusion that my gut symptoms were caused both by high FODMAP foods and by stress. But even more so, I had developed a mind-body link that was keeping me in a stress response around certain behaviors (eating, driving, sleeping being some of them) that would trigger an attack. I’ve never yet had a time that using a Nerva hypnotherapy session during one of these attacks hasn’t worked immediately (and I mean within the first few minutes of the session usually).
PS. I am eating a low FODMAP diet as well, so I can’t speak to using the Nerva system alone, but I will say that the diet alone was not eliminating my symptoms. Adding the Nerva program helped tremendously!!

Common questions
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. Explore Nerva’s published research to understand the evidence and what was measured. Individual results vary.
What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?
Some members discuss bloating in their reviews, including how it affected everyday life and their experience with the program. Read the selected reviews mentioning bloating. These personal experiences cannot predict your own results.
Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
Nerva focuses on the gut–brain connection, while a low FODMAP diet focuses on dietary triggers. They are different approaches. Read more about low FODMAP and Nerva, and discuss dietary changes with your dietitian or clinician.
What is it like to fit Nerva into a daily routine?
Members recorded them on their own phones and shared them with Nerva. They are unscripted. What each person describes is their own experience; individual results vary.
