the process is simple but it actually works. the meditations are straightforward. I didn’t always find them all enjoyable or easy but I found them consistently effective. the breathing exercises are wonderful - it’s so helpful having the small animation, it makes it so easy to drop into and maintain strong focus. the daily readings are short and useful. I’m a professor, so would have enjoyed having references so I could follow up and do more reading but I appreciate that a lot of people will be pleased that it’s kept to a low effort without compromising on content. what’s most important, my sensitivities have changed. they really have. dramatically. I’m still cautious around my food triggers, but again and again I find that their impact is minimal, even not-existent. I’ve struggled with IBS for decades, with dreadful, difficult symptoms. it’s hard to believe how much my life has changed because of using this app. I recommend it without hesitation. it really has changed my life.

Just on Day 5. All I know is I want to continue. I’ve realized what a tight grip my mind has had over symptoms. I always knew I was in my head a lot but this awareness is much deeper, more primal. One of the amazing things happening as I drop into the sessions is I have the sense of the mind gently loosening its control and melting into oneness with a bigger “force”. It’s dropping the effort to control, to anticipate what’s next, to try to force something to happen. The feeling is pure bliss. It’s like falling into trust. Fear is melting. It’s a soft, warm, comforting flow. I end each session wishing it would continue for a bit longer.

This app is a game changer
My symptoms are 85% better, and I’ve been able to sustain these improvements for 5 months. I tolerate more foods, I have fewer symptoms that negatively affect my quality of life, and I’m less worried about triggering IBS symptoms in my daily life.…

My symptoms are 85% better, and I’ve been able to sustain these improvements for 5 months. I tolerate more foods, I have fewer symptoms that negatively affect my quality of life, and I’m less worried about triggering IBS symptoms in my daily life. I’ve told all my providers about it. I appreciate the maintenance feature as I think that has helped me sustain progress towards wellness as well as address flares that are inevitable, but now are much easy to move past. Hurrah for this app, for real!!

I have been using this app for 2 weeks now and have already started seeing results. The sessions are really high quality and the bite size readings each day have been really helpful. It takes some discipline to make sure I do it everyday, but it’s much easier than a restrictive diet! Would highly recommend giving it a go.

I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and I’m already seeing improvements in my IBS symptoms. After years and years of trying to manage various elimination diets and taking medications that just masked my symptoms it is so wonderful to find an intervention that is effective and much more straightforward to follow than endless diet restrictions. Given the amount of money I’ve spent on special foods, supplements, medications and working with specialist practitioners this program is really good value, and it’s working!

I highly recommend sticking with this program. It’s not perfect… yes, sessions are repeated and they can be a little boring or annoying sometimes. But after week 4 I’ve felt a consistent improvement to my IBS symptoms - specifically, gut mobility and the ability to be regular. There are definitely some learnings especially as you progress to the second half. I’ve also found the diaphragmatic breathing to be a helpful coping tool.

I’ve been following the guided therapy every day for almost 4 weeks, and I must say my symptoms have greatly improved! I thoroughly enjoy the readings everyday and the 30 minutes of calm to myself. So happy I found this APP.

I also highly recommend looking at the curable app and podcasts. In my long time of trying to get better from IBS- using western medicine, holistic medicine, everything under the sun - curable is the first thing that works for me

High quality recordings and information
Too soon to know if it’s working for me, but even if it’s not, I feel calmer and more relaxed. The sessions are very professional and the voice is very soothing.

This app is lovely, each day you get a new reading that informs you of IBS, how the mind-gut connection works and how hypnotherapy can aid in mending those connections. Each reading makes the therapy session a little more in-depth, so you have a better understanding of what’s going on each time you practice. I would highly recommend to anyone whose tried the diets with little success, or anyone who believes in the power of the body/mind.

Surprised at results, give it a dedicated go
I was surprised at the results from the app over the 6 week time period. I have seen a significant improvement in my IBS-D. In the 6 weeks i have only had one 1 flare up.
Really stick with the app in the 6 weeks, it’s worth putting the time aside.

Love this app!
Nerva has been so incredibly helpful. In times of stress, I have been able to recall soothing phrases from the hypnotherapy sessions, which have had an immediate improvement in my physical symptoms.

I found the sessions so enjoyable that I looked forward to doing them every morning. My stomach calmed down so much as did the gut pain I was experiencing. The reinforcing positive statements are manifesting I guess. I had some great imagery as I imagined the scenes that were described. They were very peaceful and calming.

This course of hypnotism and meditation is beautiful to listen to. The scenarios are lovely. The voice is soothing. It helped me get to nearly normal with my gut trouble within 6 days. I recommend it to anyone suffering from conditions of the Digestive System, which are not just exhausting, but mentally debilitating as well. I look forward to my session each day. Thank you.

Worth the price
Nerva is a wonderful tool for complimentary care in dealing with IBS and GI issues. The sessions are calming with great guided visualization. The daily reading is always helpful, too. The company is super responsive to support requests.

I have had gut issues for years and finally got so fed up with not getting help from my gastroenterologist except for recommending drugs which I never wanted to take. So I changed my diet which helped a lot however I would have severe pain after eating. I am a therapist and I know the value of relaxation and deep breathing and practice it every day. However I had no idea that using hypnotherapy could help my stomach pain. I caught on very quickly to consciously relaxing my stomach when I was in pain and my pain issues were reduced by approximately 80% within two weeks. I feel so much more in control now of this issue and thank the physician who did the research on this and made her work available through this app. I am very grateful thank you so much!

I’ve only done 5 days but am very pleased with the content & will continue on for the 6 weeks. The daily readings are very educational & the right quantity to not overwhelm. I love the hypnosis. This is my first ever doing something like this. It’s so calming. I love her voice. Im excited & hopeful to learn more and get better. Also feel like the cost of the app is well worth it for what you get at least so far.
