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.

Prompt helpful in-app support
Anne was very helpful. It’s fantastic that Nerva has live, in-app customer service support. It’s very easy to use and quick, which is important for people with chronic illness. Thanks for your prompt and helpful support Anne.

Simple and Effective
After only 5 days, I already felt calmer and more hopeful. The program is really easy to follow and fits into a busy day because each session is short and simple.

I have IBD, currently in remission, but deal with IBS symptoms on a daily. Since contracting Covid-19 last year, I experienced a terrible long lasting flare up of IBS-C, post-infectious IBS and about half year later got an intestinal parasite. This whole mess of GI illness was a major struggle that left me with the worst IBS of my life. Ultimately, this all led me to the discovery of this app (thanks to my dietician). I cannot recommend it enough. Nerva has helped me so much with my daily symptoms of extreme bloating, nightly worsening of bloat and pain. I have a flatter belly with happier digestion and minor symptoms if any. I cannot believe how well the program works. Due to my chronic issues, I continue to use the app daily despite the program being only 6 weeks with researching showing that is the minimal effective dose, so to speak.
I also appreciate their support. They are very responsive to any messaging. I only wish you could have an extension of the program to include more weeks of new content and educational reading materials.

This app is founded upon the science that supports the strong connection between the mind and gut, developed by IBS researchers who have also studied and put out apps and information about diet, including the FODMAP diet. I had been struggling with IBS for years before I tried this app. Within days, I could tell a difference, even though they warn you not to expect anything in the first couple of weeks or more. I stuck with it, and did the sessions every day, and noticed a marked improvement in my symptoms over the six week period. As part of the mantra, I feel strong and in control! It really works.

I am now 74 years old and for the last two months I have not experienced any urgency or bloating. This therapy has been absolutely amazing. I recommended highly.

I only started using the app. I have done intensive hypnotherapy in the past and this is a great substitute for being in a therapist's office, from what I can tell so far.
Also, I signed up for the free trial and intend to continue with the annual subscription but I noticed there was a cheaper price ($50 less) offered in the Results email after I signed up, so I emailed Gea back and requested a price adjustment. She reduced my subscription with no question, which makes me even happier that I'm working with Nerva. Great customer service is hard to find.

The Nerva IBS program has helped me feel better, use less medication, and expand to a more varied diet again.
I have enjoyed working with the Nerva program and find it to be beneficial. I like the variety of programming they provide to guide my self hypnosis sessions and their responsiveness to questions. The sessions are not too long and I feel able to integrate a commitment to the program into my day. This isn’t a complete answer to my digestive challenges but it is part of a successful self managed program to achieve an optimal lifestyle.

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.

I have completed the program and overall I am pleased I took it My main benefit comes form gaining a better understanding of my gastrointestinal link to my brain and the exercises to connect with them I didn’t reach the level of hypnosis that I hoped for and remained fully awake during the sessions James Kearns
As previously advised to Devins I have decided not to continue with the program as I don’t seem to be getting the benefit I hoped for But I learned a lot from it and now have a better understanding of the condition for which I am very grateful
Special thanks to Devins

A really good app, I found it to be helpful so far in helping with my gut issues. One of the best hypnotherapy apps I have ever used. I really like the customer service. Gea was so helpful and and her response was so quick.

Their customer service is excellent! I received prompt and helpful responses. While I enjoyed the relaxing and focusing effects of Nerva, I continue to have severe problems. My doctor has moved me to a series of tests as we suspect something more serious exists.
I needed to stop Nerva to use the money and time elsewhere.
However, I’m glad I tried Nerva. And with such a helpful customer service response from Decina, I am happy to recommend others try it as well. It may work great for them!

I wish I’d found out about this app much sooner! The improvement of IBS symptoms has been much greater than trying to follow low fodmap diet. A hypnotherapy session leaves me so relaxed and feeling refreshed. I’m also noticing that my sleep is better. If I wake in the night I stay relaxed and am able to get back to sleep. I’d highly recommend this!

I’ve gone to so many specialists, tried so many diets, pills, supplements and never had the relief and lack of pain. This app has quite literally changed my life. I feel in control, I better understand my body and the way I’m which my brain and gut are connected, and I have so many more tools in my wellness and ibs toolkit. Thank you Nerva. Sincerely, someone who was previously losing hope that I could get better

I just finished my second week of Nerva and am so pleased with the program so far and expect to have a degree of success with each day I do the very helpful readings and the relaxing hypnotherapy sessions. Third to the readings and sessions is the wonderful help I have gotten from Anne, my support contact. I have sent her three messages and each time she has responded promptly and with empathy. I love having a live person to ask for answers to my questions. I have a great deal of faith in Nerva, even more so after reading the five-star reviews from other participates. Also, I decided today to combine Nerva with a low FODMAP diet and expect the combination to be the answer to my very stubborn IBS symptoms. I have not found such help from my GI doctor or surgeon. I hope anybody suffering this physical and mental condition to seriously consider Nerva, and if they do will also be lucky enough to get Anne as their support staff.
