Nerva reviews

I’m about to embark on four months of international travel beginning in the desert and extending to major European cities. Given I won’t have full control over my food environment I’ve been really concerned about my IBS especially as I’ve been experiencing a flair up (clearly related to the stress of prepping for travel and the fear of IBS attack - catch 22). Having embarked on a trial of Nerva at the suggestion of my dietitian I’ve realised how much stress and anxiety play in my dysfunctional digestive system. I’ve found the first few days of Nerva have given me guidance to be able to analyse and control my body’s response to the environment and to alter my state of mind so as to centre on a calm and relaxed physical and mental state. As I won’t have internet for the next weeks I am going to have to unsubscribe for the moment. However I will use what I have learnt so far and if down the track when I have internet access that I need more Nerva support I will probably commit to an annual subscription. Thank you - I’ve found the program very beneficial.

Nerva really helped me gain some distance from the panic and anxiety I feel around my IBS symptoms, and to access my parasympathetic nervous system. I still have IBS symptoms, but I relate to them much differently. I feel calmer and more in control. Plus, the app gave me a lot of education I needed around what IBS is, what it isn’t, and how it’s treated. Thank you Nerva!

I’ve struggled with IBS on and off since childhood PTSD. Now since the trauma of the pandemic and deteriorating spine health/acute chronic pain last 3 years, my IBS and anxiety became out of control. I often could not leave the house putting my job I love at risk. This also adversely effects my darling family who hate to see me so ill with no way to help me. So I had a lot of guilt and shame. The last 3 weeks using Nerva app and strictly adhering to Low Fodmap diet, also meditate daily, I am much improved. My stomach is starting to feel better. I think this app has tremendous value if you do it every day. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using Nerva about 3 months now. Because my job is stressful, my IBS has been hard to tame. Nerva’s been a daily oasis for me and has become an integral part of my IBS toolkit. Customer service is quick to respond, informative and helpful. Shout out to Tia! Thanks Tia and everyone at Nerva. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Almost from the first session I began to notice positive changes in my digestive system and overall wellbeing. These improvements have grown stronger each day. I also find I don’t even need to think about them consciously. When negative feelings arise the positive learnings from the sessions just “kick in”. My day-to-day anxiety and worry levels have dropped significantly too. I’m waking up each morning looking forward to the day and there’s an underlying “knowing” that even if there are challenges, I now have the tools to manage them. The course has delivered more than I could have ever imagined. A HUGE thank you to absolutely everyone involved!

Wow. I was skeptical about this app but my body feels completely relaxed during and after the sessions. I feel that the positive suggestions during the meditative state also helps me feel at peace with my IBS. As some may relate to, I’m stressed, then have IBS symptoms, then stress about my IBS symptoms. Horrible cycle and this app has been a great refresh to my negative thinking about my health and well-being. I have had some symptom improvements but haven’t been using it for long. Will update at the end of the 6 weeks. Feeling grateful to have found this little slice of health positivity and relaxation for my daily routine.

This program makes me feel less anxious about my symptoms in general and before eating new foods. I genuinely look forward to each unique hypnotherapy session and hope that Nerva continues to develop new sessions so that the program can extend beyond 6 weeks. I can’t wait to see how they continue building this app! I think it’s an excellent tool for people with gastrointestinal issues. I adore it! Thank you for developing this tool … I feel like it was made just for me! 🥰

There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for this incredible,amazing program. After 30 years of total deep, dark depression and anxiety about my poor guts I finally see that there is an end to this nightmare :). Thank you 🙏👏🌈 Hugs to all 🌹 Donna💕u

I’ve had mild to moderate gut issues as long as I can remember. I’ve tried many things with mixed results. As my struggle intensified so did my dietary restrictions, along with various testing and eventually an IBS diagnosis. I truly thought it was just a wastebasket diagnosis not a real thing. The Nerva app offers a combination of education about the diagnosis, indeed a real thing, which finally made more sense to me, and a tool that has helped my life and anxiety about food to feel more manageable.

As someone who suffers with both Anxiety and IBS, this has been an absolute game changer. Even if my symptoms are low for the day I ensure I make time for these sessions as it means I take 15 minutes away from the stresses of life and it really centres me. 100% recommend this app, no question about it!

I can’t say enough good about this this therapy and the delivery via this app. After being diagnosed with IBS-D and while waiting to be scheduled to see a dietitian, I invested FODMAP food lists. I was becoming increasingly worried that I wouldn’t have the self discipline to follow the food restrictions and end up never getting a handle on my IBS. One of the FODMAP apps had a link to Nerva. After doing some investigation, I decided to try the one week trial. I liked the therapy during the trial and I signed up for the full six week programme. I am now on the maintenance schedule, also through the app. My IBS symptoms have subsided to such a degree that I cancelled my long awaited appointment with my dietitian. As well, I have informed my doctor and the dietitian about the success I’ve experienced. I’m back to trusting my body again.

I can feel a difference in my intestinal tract and overall feeling of less anxiety. It is truly a remarkable program. I am excited to continue this program for IBS and overall mental health. There is no doubt that I will be continuing this program after the free trial. Thank you for this program whose efficacy is the same whether it is done in person with a therapist or through personal listening at home through the Nerva app.

Nerva is truly one of my favorite tools in my health toolbox. I have dealt with challenging stomach issues since 2016 and the flares can cause me very, very intense anxiety. Nerva helps me calm down so much because the sessions SPECIFICALLY target stomach issues. It is so comforting to have the audios speaking directly to the part of me that I have so much fear and stress around - it makes me feel so much safer in my own body. I love that Nerva educates you along the way, too! I have learned so much. I am not even as consistent as I could be with it, and I still feel so comforted every time I use it. I highly recommend this app for anyone struggling with stomach issues! I am so grateful that Nerva exists.

The app is extremely well made and researched. It pairs psychological concepts and psychoeducation whilst delivering the guided meditation and breathing exercises. It has definitely helped me manage my stress levels during my doctorate. I also had a great experience with Anne who helped me out by providing me with lifetime access to the app as a clinician. If you’re also a clinician then this is something you could look into. I would absolutely recommend this app!

This flare up has been going on for over 3 months, completely out of control! It has lessened quite a bit since starting Nerva, however, I do very well during the day even after breakfast (using portion control). Then anything I eat in the afternoon and especially after dinner, triggers constant diarrhea, excessive burping, tummy cramps and growling tummy. The constant diarrhea and back to back trips to the bathroom are very tiresome. The upside is that I am able to sleep through the night🤗 First thing in the AM I have slight diarrhea and then I’m good until my next portion controlled meal (always worse in the evening)! I have resorted to eliminating dinner and having a small snack instead. EDIT I still have diarrhea daily most often after an evening meal. There have been times I have no diarrhea until after the evening meal. I have recently had my evening meal without experiencing diarrhea. I still use portion control. There are times when my diarrhea has more substance as opposed to explosive liquid and I most often have plenty of time to get to the bathroom. My stress levels have improved and I’m feeling more and more strength and control. My seem to get more in depth during my daily sessions.

I’ve completed the 6-week Nerva program, and I’ve seen a major improvement in my IBS symptoms. It has helped in a way an elimination diet never did. I feel calmer and less anxious, and my gut has felt better because of it. I’ve gone from daily flare-ups to hardly experiencing any at all. Even if I do have an issue, I don’t stress about it so much. My belly seems flatter because it’s less bloated. I am continuing with the maintenance program, though not as diligently, but even if I miss a few days, I find it’s still helping to maintain my results from the program.
