I haven’t yet completed the Nerva course but I’ve already found it extremely helpful. I don’t get stressed out by my symptoms anymore and I don’t get so anxious about finding toilets when I’m out. The combination of educational information and the hypnotherapy is so helpful, understanding the gut brain connection has been really useful and the hypnotherapy itself is great and so relaxing. I highly recommend if you’re struggling with IBS and never find a long term way of managing it.

Loving this!
So far I’m really liking this program. I have never consistently practiced mindful meditation and overall it is making me feel less stressed and it starts off my morning on a good note.

I have found Nerva outstanding.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease and this app has helped me enormously. And it stays with you once you have learned how to visualize. Adding more options (visualizations) was a good idea because I found some worked and others didn’t resonate.
The woman’s voice is outstanding, just lovely to listen to, one of the best I have heard and I’ve tried lots.

My dietitian recommended this program as part of my journey to control my gut health. I have completed my first week. I was sceptical about how this would work. However, I find myself looking forward to each morning’s session. I have even gone to the archive to do a second session in my day. I appreciate the readings that explain how the hypnotherapy can connect my feelings about my gut to reducing the stress and anxiety in my brain and vice versa. Thank you for reassuring me when I think I may be doing this incorrectly. It was as though you were reading my mind and reduced my anxiety. I am grateful.

Accessible
This app is not only great in itself, it’s also very accessible to screen reader users. I’m deafblind and it has been difficult to find something to help me with my gut-brain communication that would work for me accessibility-wise. This is perfect.

It makes me cry to finally have someone understanding what I have been painfully going through while at the same time offering me tools to overcome it. I don’t just recommend this, I’m thankful for its existence,

I had developed IBS symptoms from a bout of Covid in April 2022. Had been to a dr had various tests all clear. Dr prescribed Buscopan which initially helped. In October Nerva came on my Instagram and it was the best thing I decided to do. I religiously did the sessions every day at similar times. Read all the articles and within a few weeks my symptoms Of stomach cramps bloating obsession to be near a toilet all eased. Was able to have a week in the Sun continuing to do the sessions. Not obsessed about food had the odd alcoholic drink and no affect. I had a zoom call with a Dietician referred by my GP. He was very interested to hear about NERVA and felt you had been able to help more than anything. Had a slight flare up in December reverted by to daily sessions and am delighted to say my symptoms and esp the anxiety I had suffered during the last few years of Covid calmed down and now am feeling very calm and reassured. Have listened to one of the new programmes in the kitchen and will listen to the other new ones. Am pleased to be renewing by membership for another 3 months. Many thanks to Gea for reaching out to me she has been very helpful. Many many thanks. Regards. Ailsa.

I rate it 10/10. I tried everything for my IBS from switching my diet to over the counter meds to supplements and it all left me frustrated and exhausted and defeated. This app has not only helped heal my IBS but even more importantly, my mental health. It has been an incredible resource when I have a flare up to regulate my gut and nervous system, stay calm, and let it pass. My flare ups have gotten less and less as well, reduced by 70-80% by week 4. HIGHLY recommend pairing with regular exercise like long walks or jogs, I think that expedited my healing as well.
The readings are quick and informative - don't skip them! Understanding the causes, symptoms and tools for healing is essential. THANK YOU NERVA! I couldn't be more pleased.

This program is so worth trying. It took four and a half weeks and then was like a miracle. My bowels are working normally for the first time in my life! Even better I am back to eating most of the foods I have considered trigger foods. Things I thought I would never eat again. Even though it’s close to $30 per month after taxes, I figure I am saving at least that much by not having to buy specialty food anymore (gluten free, white sugar free, etc etc etc). I am saving time by not analyzing every ingredient in products I buy. The trial will tell you if you can tolerate doing it, but for me it didn’t work until more time went by. Best of luck in your personal journey.

If you have any background in energy based medicine your results will probably FLY like mine didn’t after just a couple weeks. Connects you in to your body so well

Still within my 1st week and already feel improvements. Feel much more relaxed and calm and sleeping much better, which in time I hope and assume will have a good positive effect on my IBS as I am someone to has a lot of anxiety and feel my ibs is strongly linked to it. I look forward everyday taking 15 mins out to take part in this. Very supportive app. Explains everything really well. Loving my journey so far

A unexpected diagnosis of diverticulitis and then IBS-c had really thrown me for a loop. I was getting quite depressed & unbeknownst to me, getting deeper & deeper into a anxiety spiral. This app helped me break that cycle. My pain decreased dramatically almost from the first session. My health (though not great) no longer feels overwhelming or hopeless. Thanks for helping me! ❤️

Amazing customer service
I generally never feel that service and communication are impressive anymore-but wow. Nerva was quick to help me in a tough situation, super responsive and I would definitely recommend to anyone that might not be sure about trying another app.

Common questions
Questions about Nerva
What the reviews don’t cover.
Does Nerva work?
Nerva is a self-guided gut-directed hypnotherapy program that works with the gut–brain connection. Reviews describe individual experiences; clinical research looks at outcomes across a group. Explore Nerva’s published research to understand the evidence and what was measured. Individual results vary.
What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?
Some members discuss bloating in their reviews, including how it affected everyday life and their experience with the program. Read the selected reviews mentioning bloating. These personal experiences cannot predict your own results.
Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
Nerva focuses on the gut–brain connection, while a low FODMAP diet focuses on dietary triggers. They are different approaches. Read more about low FODMAP and Nerva, and discuss dietary changes with your dietitian or clinician.
What is it like to fit Nerva into a daily routine?
Members recorded them on their own phones and shared them with Nerva. They are unscripted. What each person describes is their own experience; individual results vary.
How much does Nerva cost?
The offer shown before you subscribe includes your price, any trial, renewal and cancellation terms. These can differ by country and purchase route. Check your current offer or visit Nerva’s support center for subscription help.
