I loved doing these hypno sessions. Even though I was fully committed to the program I was curious to know if it would actually work. It actually only took a couple of weeks to see a significant improvement. This only got better over time. The reading is super helpful too. I’ve had IBS symptoms for over 3 years. I’m so pleased. I think I’ll revisit the hypno sessions regularly as they are so reassuring. Thank you! Nina

I was struggling with IBS for 6 months and knew I had to do something. I signed up for Dr. Izabella Wentz Gut Recovery 4 month protocol. It is a great program, but intuitively I knew something was missing for me. I found the Nerva app after watching a YouTube video on 3D digestion, and thought - maybe this is what I need! I am in my 3rd week and find it extremely helpful. The educational part is helpful to understand what is going on in my body underneath the skin and how I can develop a healthier relationship with my nervous system via hypnotherapy. Completely worth the money in my opinion. The bloating has improved and I now have normal stools - with the help Of Nerva AND the supplements I am taking. I am grateful for this app as the mental health is primary to heal the body. I highly recommend it!
This app has been awesome in helping me overcome my IBS symptoms. It’s also helped my general stress levels and chronic pain.
I am a registered dietitian in Canada and I suggest the NERVA to my clients who have struggle with IBS symptoms and management. This is a great tool and works well. Thank you to the NERVA team for their professional support programs. Well done!🙏

I was skeptical but after years of trying to improve my gut health I decided it couldn’t hurt to give it a go. I’m glad I did because after the 6 week course I found my symptoms have significantly improved and I find my mind is less focused on my gut. It’s been a wonderful tool and id recommend it to anyone experiencing gut issues.

After a diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus my GERD was out of control. My dietician recommended Nerva to help with my stress level which was impacting my reflux. This app was amazing, I immediately felt calm after each session. It made a huge difference along with my medication and diet. Thank you Nerva for your tremendous help.
I was definitely skeptical at first, since I have never been able to be hypnotized. But out of desperation with a bad flare up I gave this a try and it has really helped me with both physical and mental symptoms. The hypnosis is more of a guided…
I was definitely skeptical at first, since I have never been able to be hypnotized. But out of desperation with a bad flare up I gave this a try and it has really helped me with both physical and mental symptoms. The hypnosis is more of a guided meditation to me, but the results are still great. I’m very thankful for this app and how it’s helped me during a dark time.
The medical perspective is brief, well researched, and justifies focused use of meditation/hypnotherapy. My IBS symptoms have improved significantly. I found it very relaxing.

I’ve struggled with IBS for 20+ years. This has been a game changer. I am so grateful I decided to do this treatment- I was on edge because of the cost but I can seriously say it has been extremely helpful, even after only 10 out of the 42 total days. I’m more IBS-M or D, I did self diagnose and wow, you really grow in self-awareness around how much tension you’re holding in your gut and pelvis and all the ways that you could bring more relaxation into your life. Has helped a lot, especially starting on week 2. Thank you so much for making this app. Cannot recommend enough for those who feel they’ve tried everything but nothing has really worked for their gut symptoms and hyper vigilance.
Within a couple of days this had my bowel movements return to normal and like clockwork for the first time in years. So happy and so effective. Once I completed the 6 week course things slowly took a step back again so I have signed up for another 3…
Within a couple of days this had my bowel movements return to normal and like clockwork for the first time in years. So happy and so effective. Once I completed the 6 week course things slowly took a step back again so I have signed up for another 3 months. The power of meditation and hypnosis on my IBS is really something, thanks to all at Monash for your amazing work and for creating this app. 25 years struggling with IBS and this is the first time I’ve felt seen, informed and supported.

I was diagnosed IBS and Crohn’s Disease in 2021. Since then haven’t been able to eat some of my favorite foods without terrible stomach upset. This program REALLY helped me eat a large portion of those favorite foods I haven’t eaten in a while (like avocados, garlic, apples, bananas and other high-FODMAP foods). There are some things I’ll never be able to eat because of Crohn’s, but overall this program helped me feel more relaxed and calm in all aspects of my life which is helpful for anyone suffering with stomach issues.

I’m in my second week of using the app and I’m already seeing some improvement. If my gut starts rumbling I take some deep belly breaths, use distractions and two times now my gut has stopped rumbling and I did not need to find a restroom. I’m especially grateful because one of those times I was in the car driving to a meeting and I didn’t want to enter the business and immediately need to use the restroom. I really like the small steps the app introduces daily to improve my knowledge and awareness of what is happening with IBS. IBS can be so overwhelming, but the pace of the information from the app is just right. I finally have some hope that my IBS can be managed.

I have had a painful experience with IBS and suffered terribly, firstly with constant diarrhoea then with excruciating constipation. Having resorted to taking natural remedies prescribed by my doctors and turning to Nerva as advised by my Gastroenterologist, I am in a much better place & feeling more comfortable and confident in my progress so far. Thanks to Nerva.
Couple weeks in & im already noticing a difference in my gut. I’m able to get through work with almost no symptoms. I highly suggest you give it a try if you are struggling. Don’t give up!
I’m very impressed with this Ap. Though I’m still trying to get my head around all the “systems” eg sympathetic, parasympathetic etc. am trying not to worry too much about this and just let this knowledge percolate via the successive sessions. Can…
I’m very impressed with this Ap. Though I’m still trying to get my head around all the “systems” eg sympathetic, parasympathetic etc. am trying not to worry too much about this and just let this knowledge percolate via the successive sessions. Can feel quite an improvement in both bodily functions AND attitude in general. Thanks.
I’ve tried all sorts of remedies but this is the easiest and most effective. My GP is now recommending it to his other patients. My only complaint is that the voice who does the guided visualizations is so relaxing I occasionally fall asleep 😀
This is really excellent app helping me with my ibs symptoms. It’s really helpful and very informative, really well designed app to helping anyone with IBS or IBD.
First, I want to say that Gea in customer service was fantastic and provided great support. Secondly, the app itself is very good for helping to calm the mind and gut, and to zone in on better functioning.

This probably has been the best thing I have ever done for my gut period! I have IBS but mostly I have an anxiety tummy with nausea and cramps. I never miss a session because the reward is priceless. I have barely any upset and I can eat everything. I listen every morning and again in my car most days. Her voice is truly soothing and I hope they don’t change it. Give this an honest try and I hope you find the peace I have found. I feel the calm all day and night and I am even sleeping better. AAA +++++
If you’re thinking of starting your trial - do it!! This has literally changed my life, I’d say my symptoms are 80-90% better than they used to be, flare ups are minimal and not half as bad when I do have a flare up.
I have suffered from gut issues most of my life. I also am not usually one to be able to do meditation. I find the voice particularly calming without being annoying which helps a lot. Most voices in these types of apps grate for me. I don’t know if…
I have suffered from gut issues most of my life. I also am not usually one to be able to do meditation. I find the voice particularly calming without being annoying which helps a lot. Most voices in these types of apps grate for me. I don’t know if I’m being hypnotised and I’m only a few days in, so I don’t know how directly effective the app will be, but I look forward to the sessions. I feel calm and recharged and also find the readings very informative. I would highly recommend this app to everyone.

I’ve been doing this for one week consistently so far - I feel calmer (I think I’ve fallen asleep once or twice) and it really teaches you how to disconnect and focus on breathing and subconscious thoughts, as well as positive affirmations that reinforce positive steps you’re taking. All while educating you through it all so you can understand and take control back. You’ve got to be open to allowing the proven techniques and trust the process. UPDATE: Now well into week 6 and I can’t say enough of how well this has worked for me. Consistency is key. I suffered for so long - and this has been such a blessing to find - a proactive step in managing anxiety and stomach issues successfully.

Using Nerva fairly recently after a diagnosis of IBSC late last year after over a year of investigations, given the brain/gut connection I ended up in a psychiatric ward for a week, there I knew that wasn’t what I needed. Not understanding, to me the most bizarre symptoms of IBS which was mainly sensations and not much pain but drove me nuts. I still have the sensations but understand them more through my own research and latterly the Nerva app. The app is so informative and explains everything so well. The condition doesn’t go but the Nerva make it so much easier to cope with. Ultimately I was diagnosed a few weeks ago as having Collegenous Colitis which is a not very well known condition as is IBS but their is a diagnosis for but no cure. so now don know if I do have IBS also as it mimics the symptoms of IBS as other stomach conditions do. Personally if you have a brain/gut connection condition Nerva in my opinion could greatly help. Thanks so much Nerva 😊This is the longest and most worthwhile revue I have ever written. It should be prescribed by GP’s.
