I’m a healthcare practitioner that has worked with patients’ with gut discomfort for years. I’ve know for years that their discomfort is both physical and an imbalanced nervous system. I too have experienced GI discomfort for over 10 years since having Lyme disease and not balancing stress. There were limited tools and many require hours of time daily. Till now. This is one of the best tools I’ve found. It’s easy to use AND effective. Don’t wait. Commit to 20-30 minutes a day and feel better within weeks to a few months. You deserve to feel great!

I’m four days into Nerva. The readings are insightful & the hypnosis sessions are very calming and enjoyable. I’ve tried many western medical approaches over the last 2+ years. Some things helped temporarily, others caused anxiety inducing setbacks. I believe in the power of the mind and the gut-brain connection. I’m cautiously optimistic for Nerva…so far, so good. 😊

love this app!
Nerva has made a difference in my anxiety around digestive troubles. I approach everything with a calmer mindset—and I don’t seem to get as worked up if I have any symptoms, so they don’t last long.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

I was pretty doubtful about this app but willing to try anything to feel better. But it’s amazing how much more relaxed and better it made me feel! It’s so hard to regulate stress and this app helped me feel like I had a concrete thing I could lean on whenever I felt myself getting into panic-y mode and unable to get into rest and digest mode. I’m planning to start another 6 week run!

I am on the last day of my 6 weeks of sessions and so far it has been life changing. There has been a massive reduction in all my symptoms and I have been able to reintroduce foods I thought I’d never eat again. I have almost no pain, and my focus has been moved entirely away from my digestion, so when I do have things going on I can just chalk it up to a normal reaction and get on with my day stress free. My clothes are fitting normally and I can sleep through the night without waking up in agony or going to the bathroom. I am and will continue to recommend this app to anyone who has IBS. It’s put the control back into my hands and it’s made me happier. Thank you so much Nerva team.
There are 2 things I can add for improvements - I would like the breathing exercise to come with sound so that it’s not necessary to look at the screen and maybe in the future an option to replace one of the guided visualisations if you feel that one doesn’t serve you.
Honestly if you’re thinking about getting the app don’t think about it anymore just do it! The changes that have happened in my body are priceless.
Thank you team Nerva! My next step is to repeat the programme whilst introducing the roots of doom. Watch out garlic and onions I’m coming for you!

My IBS was affecting all aspects of my high-stress life. My prescription meds were not working and I was losing hope. Nerva changed everything. As a long time meditator and yogini I have to admit I was at first sceptical. But Nerva has the guided meditations spot on and they provide just enough reading on the science to help with understanding of the gut-brain connection. Their unique selling point is that they help you build calm positivity while strengthening resilience through the inevitable ups and downs of life. I’m sold and very grateful for this holistic approach. It works folks!

So far, it’s fabulous!
I’m on day 5 and this program has seriously helped me! I look forward to listening each day and my symptoms have improved to where I almost feel like a “normal” person, which has significantly decreased my anxiety and depression. So far, love it.

This program has benefitted me in many ways! I’m a person who suffers from extreme anxiety when I’m not near a bathroom. I have been dealing with IBS for 8 years and this program has been highly beneficial for me. The metaphors and analogies of uses helps rewire the gut and the brain connection. I hope it helps you as much as it helped me :)

I finally learned after many years that I have food sensitivities and GI issues that interfered with the quality of my life. I powered through without knowing what was wrong. After a lot of research I discovered foods I enjoy that don’t cause issues. I also was so fortunate to discover Nerva. I was desperate so I tried the initial introduction and now I’m a believer and into the Maintenance phase. The hypnotherapy sessions truly work for me. Rather amazing! I still need the sessions for occasional flare ups when I eat foods that don’t agree with my digestive system or when I’m suffering from stress and anxiety. The sessions relax and calm my mind while soothing my digestive system discomfort. I think it’s important for me to continue the Nerva sessions for awhile yet as I also work on my anxiety issues. Thanks so much for offering this much needed application. It’s changing my life for the better.

I tried this app with the belief that it probably wouldn’t do much. I tried to listen to a session at least twice a day for the first time I went through the program. The sessions were extremely calming, and I could feel a lot of my anxiety fading around my digestive issues. And then, several weeks in, I started to notice that many of my physical symptoms were also starting to diminish. By the end, I did feel very different, and I am a total believer now that the mind is incredibly powerful when it comes to healing and symptom-severity. Thank you so much for creating this app. It made a big difference in my life.
