This app works ! I was able to tell a difference within the first week of using it, and I plan on staying on my maintenance plan for a while as well. It has significantly decreased my symptoms. It also has helped my anxiety as an extra added bonus. Listening to Nerva’s gut hypnotherapy is one of my favorite 30 minutes of my day.
So far my experience with Nerva has been really great. I’m only in my first week but I really feel like it’s going to be a great help with my IBS.
I came across Nerva in Summer 2021. I had suffered with IBS intermittently for more than 20 years, but it seemed to be getting worse. I had never tried hypnotherapy, but after just a couple of weeks, nearly all my symptoms were gone. At the end of…
I came across Nerva in Summer 2021. I had suffered with IBS intermittently for more than 20 years, but it seemed to be getting worse. I had never tried hypnotherapy, but after just a couple of weeks, nearly all my symptoms were gone. At the end of six weeks, I had no symptoms. Occasionally, I have a flare up and listen to a session and then I’m fine. Sometimes, I just focus on my breathing, as taught by Nerva, and that works as well.
Using this app was easy and my IBS symptoms are now much more under control. I found it sometimes difficult not to fall asleep during the sessions.
This app definitely helped ease my IBS symptoms. The people who make it were responsive to my questions. It was easy to cancel the subscription once I no longer needed it.
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…
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.

I have extreme and chronic IBS-Mixed. The recordings are pitched to exactly the kind of relaxation that should target Gastro symptoms. Whether the charge for this service is over the amt necessary to access this kind of focus: I don’t yet know. I do enjoy these, tho wish the “readings” were more in-depth. I will decide after 5 days.

Five days in and I like it! I love the talk therapy except it’s so relaxing that I keep dozing off and have to start over. Lol
I have had gut problems at times for many years. In the last year I have made a lot of progress - nothing is a quick fix with the gut. Nerva was an option in my treatment. For me it has been amazing. I have learnt why my body was behaving in a…
I have had gut problems at times for many years. In the last year I have made a lot of progress - nothing is a quick fix with the gut. Nerva was an option in my treatment. For me it has been amazing. I have learnt why my body was behaving in a certain way and am learning how to control my reactions. This has been a big step forward and I feel calmer more relaxed and my symptoms have lessoned a lot but not quite gone yet so I will continue with Nerva. I don’t think it will take long. I have used it for 6 weeks and will continue with their support on the App.
I purchased Nerva subscription before a trip to Europe that’s been causing me anxiety for months. I have tried xifaxan, dietary changes (I’m not great at those), lomotil, OTC anti diarrheals, I thought “what could it hurt?”. Nerva has exceeded all of…
I purchased Nerva subscription before a trip to Europe that’s been causing me anxiety for months. I have tried xifaxan, dietary changes (I’m not great at those), lomotil, OTC anti diarrheals, I thought “what could it hurt?”. Nerva has exceeded all of my expectations. I would not eat out at restaurants, I’d always get food to go and eat cold meals at home after the fact. I do not ride in cars with others (outside of my husband/son) because it’s triggering for me. I avoid getting nails done because I feel “stuck”. I am currently getting. A deluxe pedicure (they take longer, which even on a good day pre Nerva would have never happened ) while writing this review. I’ve got very little anxiety about being here. I have had car rides - short ones - with others and I feel more confident than I’ve felt in ages. Nerva has been truly life altering for me.
I have only been using this program for 4 days and I can already feel a difference. Less pain, bloating, nausea and wind. I am doing it in conjunction with my medications and physicians support. I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful and…
I have only been using this program for 4 days and I can already feel a difference. Less pain, bloating, nausea and wind. I am doing it in conjunction with my medications and physicians support. I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful and satisfied I am with this program. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Having severe ibs makes you feel very alone. Nobody really understands or can help and this app is like having a life support that understands. I look forward to my time with the app each morning. Thank you.

I’ve been suffering with painful IBS for many years. Doctors have always prescribed pills and I’ve tried them, but they never worked. I was desperate and feeling a bit hopeless when I tried the Nerva app. I am thrilled to say it’s made a remarkable difference. My whole body has changed. I look and feel so much better. I will use what I’ve learned for the rest of my life. To the Nerva IBS creators, thank you very much. You rock.

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.
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…
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.
3 days in and I am sold. This is the help I needed. Easy to use, super relaxing. Very accessible. Quality of life improving day by day and symptoms of pain and disturbances of anxiety dissipating. Yay! Thank you!
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.
Been using the app for two weeks and am daring to believe it’s having an effect where so much else has had less impact. Things seem to be calming down. Would love for there to be something this good to help with anxiety and sleep.
