Nerva reviews

I know some people can be sceptical about subscription services (me included). But this is part of Monash University who created the FODMAP diet and they do a lot of research into IBS. I started the programme and feel that the hypnotherapy and support materials will really help me. Then I got food poisoning! There is no controlling those symptoms, and I’m quite poorly. There is a place to chat on the app and I told them what has happened and how I can’t do the hypnotherapy now. Reassuringly, there was a kind lady called Gea messaging me, and she has arranged for me to re-start when I’m better. I hope this helps if you are hesitant to sign up. I will be restarting as soon as I can.

I confess that I had my doubts about hypnotherapy, being helpful, and happily, those doubts or completely eradicated! I completed the six week Nerva program, and I am still using it daily. I began to notice improvement after the first few days. I still have symptoms sometimes, but my anxiety about the symptoms has definitely decreased, my appetite is much better, and I just feel calmer in general. I will continue to use Nerva and highly recommend it to anyone dealing with anxiety about gut issues! Customer service is outstanding! They truly care about their clients! Anne in Customer Service was kind, supportive, and helpful when I wrote to thank Nerva; employees clearly have passion for and pride in their service!

I was a little sceptical about this but it it’s much easier and more affordable than the FODMAP diet so I thought I’d give it a go. I’m so glad I did! It’s honestly changed my life. My symptoms are so much better that I can do all the things I used to do before my IBS got so bad. Shoutout to their customer support too! Kind, thoughtful, and always takes the time to understand what you need.

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.

I was sceptical at first but after just a few sessions I was feeling more relaxed about my IBS and my gut pains were reducing. This gave me incentive to continue and the rewards have been amazing. Not only for my gut health but also for my ability to cope with daily stresses.

Hypnosis always helped me and I've watched many videos on YouTube before but was always hesitant with a paid app. Let me tell you there is a huge difference, I feel the meditations are very clarifying to the mind and i will post my results back after the 6 weeks is over.

For decades I’ve suffered IBS symptoms which became much worse due to anxiety about the pandemic. I’ve now had two three month subscriptions to Nerva, I felt so much better after the first but wanted to be sure my brain and body really had got the hang of the teaching. I’m lucky to have plenty of time and have done one of the sessions nearly every single day over the six months. I was extremely skeptical when I started , I just didn’t believe in hypnotherapy. After a few weeks I realised that despite this, it appeared to be working. I’m so grateful to all the team who created and deliver this app. Thanks to Anne who has helped me sort out minor tech problems.

My dietician recommended trying Nerva to help with IBS discomfort. I was a little skeptical because I wasn’t sure if it would actually work, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. It only takes about 15 min a day and I find it helps so much- not only with discomfort, but also anxiety caused by IBS. I’m in the maintenance phase now and I find I feel better when I continue doing the app everyday. It took me a little to find the best time for me to do it because it’s so relaxing that sometimes I’d fall asleep if I did it at night. I have found the morning works best for me- just while still in bed with AirPods. I like the woman’s voice- far better than apps with mindfulness like Headspace. I’m surprised my GI dr doesn’t recommend this because it’s been more helpful at managing pain than meds she has prescribed and has no bad side effects. I plan to tell her how helpful it is at my next appointment! I would highly recommend this app and have already to friends. I recently had an issue with the app freezing and the customer service answered very quickly and are very friendly. It turned out there was just a brand new phone update my phone hasn’t done automatically yet. I love that they are available to help even around the holidays!

I completed the 6-week Nerva program and it worked for me. I was skeptical but desperate to try anything to ease my IBS symptoms. I've had IBS for 20+ years but my symptoms have gotten much worse in the last 5 years. I did the Nerva program diligently for 6 weeks. I saw minor improvements in the first 4 weeks but things are noticeably better since the final two weeks. My IBS symptoms have reduced dramatically - I don't have to rush to the bathroom, I'm not in pain, and I can eat most foods again. I feel like I can live my life again.

I’ve been suffering from IBS symptoms for 6 years. I was initially skeptical of this program but tried it out of desperation. It’s turned out to be the one thing that’s helped me nearly eliminate my symptoms. I no longer have any urgency on my commute to work. So, so grateful! Can’t recommend it enough.

I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. But that never held me back from trying it because after several years (and thousands of dollars) of doctors and testing and NEVER getting any answers except for some blanket “anxiety” answers, THIS WORKS. I’ve only been using it a week and I’ve already seen drastic decrease in feeling crappy during the day (I didn’t even take Pepto this week!), nausea and pain has been minimal. I’m already even seeing a difference in bathroom habits. I was only able to do the trial for now, as money is short, but I assure you that the cost is LOW compared to the amount of money that I’ve spent on medications and doctors in the past. I will definitely be revisiting it immediately when my personal funds allow. Also, side note: I have PTSD and sometimes I would be triggered during sessions and I would feel like I wasn’t able to focus enough but it still all somehow still worked. THIS is what doctors need to suggest when their answer is “anxiety”. The education of WHY and a SOLUTION.

Was initially super skeptical of hypnotherapy (if medicine, years of doctors, and thousands of $$ couldn’t help, why would this?). I struggle with IBS-C and feel like most programs help with IBS-D. But I spoke with several heads of Gastro programs at top Universities around the country and they all recommended I used this app. I’m so surprised and amazed at how helpful this app was in calming my symptoms. My symptoms are unrecognisable from when I originally began this app! This has given me hope for continued healing, education for why and how my flare ups occur, and a reliable on-demand program for future possible set-backs. Could not be more grateful for this app and will continue using it for years even despite my symptoms improving - it’s just so relaxing!

You will be amazed at the amount of time it takes to learn how to deeply relax . I for one was skeptical. I never could relax, nor did I have time to do it.Well I was so wrong.Because of my issues with IBS,I had to try something and the something was a class on hypnosis for IBS to help with symptoms.I am so sure it’s going to work! I then can bring my family into it so they also can get the benefit of learning to deeply relax. Sybil Madero

I was super skeptical about trying “gut-related hypnotherapy”, but after my GI doctor told me “you’ll eventually figure it out” (because none of the medications or low FODMAP diet were helping by IBS-C)… I was feeling rather desperate and on my own. Nerva helped change up what was going on and I went 6 months without any issues after the program. I recently had a set back, so I am starting over again. I don’t mind - I feel more positive after the sessions and it really does help. I would recommend Nerva to any one who has tried lots of IBS treatments without success.

I was very sceptical at first but this is an incredibly effective tool for IBS. The reading modules help you to really understand the condition and how your gut and brain interact and the practical sessions are so relaxing whilst also retraining your brain at a subconscious level. I highly recommend giving it a try

I was skeptical about Nerva at first, but it is more than worth the time and money! Nerva taught me so much about how the mind works - the daily teachings about things like hypervigilance and catastrophic thinking were so incredibly helpful for not only IBS, but for managing anxiety and other chronic health issues. I look forward to the sessions everyday and have seen improvement in not only how I feel, but how I think! Thank you, Nerva!

I was initially unsure about this app but after reading the reviews and journal articles I thought I’d give it a go - and I’m so glad did! I started seeing improvements in my symptoms after 2 weeks and it really helped me manage stress as well (which I previously thought was very well managed). I would 100% recommend to anyone who has IBS. Worth every penny!

I was a little sceptical about hypnotherapy, but it makes total sense regarding IBS. I have eaten garlic and other foods that I haven’t eaten in about 5 years on the low FODMAP diet. I was getting sick of not being able to eat much when going out, having to read packets and being difficult at restaurants. I’m still low FODMAP at home but Nerva has given me wriggle room to eat things I generally couldn’t when I’m out. I can actually feel my gut moving whereas it was pretty stagnant before. Highly recommend!

I was sceptical but was willing to give a try as I have tried everything else (FODMAP, Iberogast, herbs etc) nothing helped. I’m currently on day two and my bloating is noticeably less, my pains are gone and my stomach is just very calm. In fact my overall health feels calm. The cost may put some people off but to be honest to feel this good I would pay and have paid a lot more. Will see how I’m feeling at the end of 6 weeks. 😀

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!
