Nerva reviews

I have severe IBS and am on an extremely limited low-FODMAP GF DF SF diet. Even with that, I have pain/stomach issues. I noticed a difference after about a month of the gut-directed hypnotherapy. It definitely works. It is calming and has helped me create a daily practice. I’m a long-term subscriber as I’ve found it keep me in tune with my gut and helps me manage any flare ups. I love their sessions!!

I have struggled with abdominal, gut related pain, bloating and IBS for years and since starting this wonderful programme I can honestly say that I feel so much better - it's so calming and reassuring doing the hypnotherapy sessions on a daily basis. I'm so pleased I found Nerva - it's brilliant!

I have a hard time keeping up with things like this, but I was desperate to reduce my symptoms. I completed the entire 6 weeks and have revisited the app at least once a week in the year since. I can confidently say it’s lessened my symptoms more than anything else I tried. The hypnotherapy sessions are quite calming, and the educational articles helped me better understand how IBS works. I’m really grateful for this app, and would definitely say it’s worth the money.

I have completed 5 days and intend to complete the 6 week program. I am glad most sessions end with “you are calm and relaxed” as opposed to “ you are awake and alert” which actually kept me up most of the night.(day 2 I believe). I am hoping this helps as I have been on a very difficult IBS journey the past 10 months. It was recommended by my dietitian with my physician’s approval.

It’s early days but I’ve been doing the sessions and feel at least a bit more relaxed. The app is easy to use and very informative. I would truly love it if you could download sessions to device though as I travel a lot and do not always have connection which means I will miss sessions.

Overall - AMAZING. This app is informative & energetically powerful. The meditation guide’s voice is clear, calm & hypnotic. A few of things, for me, need updating, and I only mention these b/c I love the app and I would love it to be even more user friendly: 1. The ability to just play the meditations whenever I wish, without having to scroll through the reading material again. 2. The meditation starts as soon as u press play so there’s no time to get comfy/readjust my position etc. so the ability to count the meditation down before it starts e.g. a 5 or 10 second delay. 3. The rewind button (circular shape) it’s great you can scroll it to any point. However when scrolling backwards, it needs to stop at the start of the track, you can pull it back beyond zero by accident, then it suddenly hits zero, & thinks you’ve reached the end of the meditation and then the session finishes & you can’t go back to it without scrolling through all the reading first.

It’s a very strange process. What I like the most now I’m on week 2 is the effect on mental health is phenomenal, more relaxed and calm, anger inside fades away after a long hard day. Loving it so far. I have fallen asleep many times but you can go over a session at anytime.

My life has completely shifted since I completed the Nerva program. I had many many dietary restrictions and still experienced gastrointestinal issues but since following the Nerva program with strict adherence I am now able to eat pretty much anything and don’t experience any negative side effects. If I start to feel like maybe I’m having a return of symptoms I just go a refresher hypnosis session. The freedom from having to think about what I would eat and where especially if I was away from home is so liberating. I also am more relaxed overall and it improves my sleep. Cannot recommend this program enough.

Following this app at last daily plus some dietary changes got me out of a bad digestive cycle. It took the recommended 6 weeks but I was so happy it worked. Since completing it, it’s like my nervous system had a reset and I feel much calmer. Now back to a full array of foods, high fodmap and all!! Thanks you Nerva!!

Focusing on the feather/my breathing, distracted my thoughts from the pain in my guts! When I completed the session, I automatically touched the area of my abdomen that constantly feels pain because I wasn’t (at the moment) feeling it. It’s a relief to know that, if even for a short amount of time, this pain can subside.

This program has been a miracle for me. Three days after starting I was admitted to the hospital with severe symptoms and brought it with me. It helped me so much during my stay and has been a blessing during my recovery. The program addresses all my pitfalls, mental traps and concerns I deal with on a daily basis and has given me concrete help to address the issues. It is a well thought out program and it is completely well done.

This app so beneficial that I use it everyday. I have certain hypnotic sessions that resonate with me more than others. It would be helpful if I could put these into a personal favourite’s list rather than trying to remember which ones work for me better than others out of the full flare up list. Thank you Lisa

What an excellent programme. I start my day everyday with a guided session. I enjoy the variety of sessions in the flare up programme and choose a different one to suit my mood. The program has particularly helped my functional dyspepsia and reflux issues. It helps me accept occasional episodes of irritable bowel in a less anxious way. I find I can generalise the hypnosis sessions to address other issues I’m facing like fatigue or stress. I highly recommend it for anyone with digestive issues and you may discover it flows over into other aspects of your life in beneficial ways.

The Nerva app has transformed the management of IBS constipation triggered diverticulitis by reducing anxiety and hyper-focus on gut sensations. After following the original 6-week program - with surprising results - I now listen to sessions 3 or 4 times a week to feel calm relaxed and in control of my symptoms. 100% worth the subscription price particularly knowing the content is backed by solid evidence.

I’ve been dealing with ibs/sibo for over a decade. I’ve tried supplements, probiotics, antibiotics, elimination diets, testing, exercises, the list goes on. Didn’t know what to expect with this app but honestly I was kind of willing to try anything. Holy cow what a change for me. I don’t even use the sessions as often as I “should” but still it has helped me so much. Way more than I thought possible. Fewer symptoms, less bloating, I’m reincorporating some foods I haven’t been able to eat in years and it’s going really well so far. Didn’t really know what I was signing up for but wow, so glad I did and wish I’d tried it sooner.

I started Nerva during a stressful time in my life. I’ve struggled with lower back pain and IBS with increasing food intolerances for years. Within the first week, my back pain improved and my gut followed. Now, I am on the maintenance program and only very rarely have flare ups. I still avoid certain foods completely but have found that I can tolerate most foods in small doses now. I have very little diarrhoea now (used to be daily) and my lower back pain is much better. I am very grateful that my women’s health physio recommended this app and I continue to listen to 1-3 meditations a week. Especially if I feel unsettled. Love Nerva!!!

On day six, I find myself relaxing more deeply in each hypnotherapy session. On occasions, it may be challenging for the brain to initially switch off; probably more so in the morning, than in the evening, with the external concerns of a new day and the Challenges therein. The program is excellent, and I look forward each day to my next session in the knowledge that it’s going to aid me in recovery. Thank you for what you have availed to us by being able to take advantage of the meaningful opportunity that Nerva offers for our ongoing health and wellbeing.
