I love Nerva as i am learning so much about my gut and brain connections. I love the hypnotherapies and totally benefit from them. Every bit of information is helpful. And my whole system is responding well to the Nerva program. I have never had 3 total bowel evacuations within three days before. I know my body is working on healing itself & Nerva is definitely helping. Thank you Nerva.

As a 20 year sufferer of stress induced IBS, I’ve seen benefits from the very first day. Despite a bad relapse on day 8, little by little I am improving and no longer worry as much about long car journeys with no toilet access. Got to persevere. The cost is worth it, tho it could be made more manageable than a lump sum in one go.

I have struggled with IBS since childhood. Routines and schedules always dictated by my bowels. As I got older, more and more goods aggravated me. I developed a terrible relationship with food, often not eating for extended periods. Since doing this hypnotherapy program, my gut is happy! No flares. I’m more relaxed. I’m not hyper vigilant anymore. And I’m sleeping better. I’m more relaxed generally. IBS was controlling my life. This is the best thing I’ve ever done.

I’m loving the Nerva program. Knowing that the meditation/hypnotherapy I’m taking time for is relaxing whilst also helping manage my IBS symptoms and providing education on IBS causes makes it especially valuable time. I’m one week in and I’m feeling more calm and letting my symptoms effect me less because I know I’m doing something about them. The app is easy to use and the program isn’t too expensive. Thank you!

Nerva ha helped my ever - rumbly belly to calm down. The guided practices, spoken in the loveliest voice, have worked to de-escalate my stomach and bring calm to help my body relax. It has given me tools to self-talk through stomach trouble when it arises. I’m thankful for this app!

I was a bit unsure on whether to go ahead with the full purchase because it is quite a lot and I saw a few negative reviews but I’m so glad that I didn’t listen. The app has been so helpful in calming down the anxiety surrounding stomach issues which is such a massive part of IBS. I never usually do reviews but if anyone is really struggling like I was then 100% go for it!

I’m amazed by how much my IBS symptoms and mental health have improved since starting Nerva. I’ve had IBS for 18 years and tried so many different conventional and alternative treatments over that time. I have dropped all medications, supplements etc and am just using Nerva and my symptoms are the best they’ve been!

I find the mixture of information and the sessions very useful. The information about IBS helps me to understand more about what is happening and makes me feel I can achieve better results in the visualization part of the therapy. They also give you tools to better manage your symptoms outside the sessions(breathing techniques and ways to reduce negative thoughts). Which I found useful.

I started using Nerva over a year ago when symptoms were particularly disruptive.
Within a week of using it daily, I noticed significant differences in my digestion and associated symptoms. My general stress levels decreased. I continued with the initial course and following that I use it as and when I feel the need and each and every time, it helps, reliably.
You have to really allow yourself to buy into what is being said, the supporting reading was key for me to really immerse myself in the audio sessions in a way that associated them with my body.
I regularly highly recommend this to people.

This App is a Miracle

I was skeptical that an app would help me but my IBS symptoms became so painful I had to retire early. I’d lost so much to this already—why not try Nerva? I’m so glad I did. I finished the 6-week program last week and my symptoms have reduced by 60%. Some days I’m completely pain free. If I do feel discomfort, I no longer go into a stress spiral. Instead, I do deep breathing or a session. I’m going through my favorite sessions again. Every week I notice a little more improvement. This has done more for me than any GI doctor ever has.

I never write reviews but I feel compelled to because it has radically changed my life. After 5 weeks of use this app and method has virtually eliminated my suffering. I started having gut issues when I was perimenopausal. I tried eliminating foods and beverages but that did not work. I noticed most of my gut issues occurred when I was anxious a symptom that also started occurring during perimenopause. Listening to this app has relaxed me, taught me methods to use to deal when I start feeling anxious or gut pain and also somehow unconsciously improved my symptoms. I was a skeptic but am now a believer!

I have IBS-C. I’ve been doing Nerva for the past 9 months and it has truly changed my quality of life. I am taking a medication in conjunction with the app, but any time I skimp on my Nerva sessions, the medication has a hard doing its job. The brain-gut connection can’t be ignored. When I’m regularly doing my Nerva sessions, I find I have far less abdominal/stomach pain, bloating, gas, and nausea. My mind also feels clearer and my anxiety is significantly lessened. I can’t rate this app highly enough!

Very successful IBS Treatment!
After just a few weeks of this program, my abdominal pain was greatly reduced! I now feel much calmer overall and I am able to work through any little discomforts using the techniques of the program. I highly recommend Nerva!

The app itself is well designed and intuitive to use. I’m fairly experienced in mindfulness techniques and there hasn’t been anything I’ve come across before Nerva that I actually look forward to every day. I noticed a reduction in symptoms after about a week, and sometimes just immediately following a session. This program is so much easier to follow than the low fodmap diet that it’s surely worth a try!

I followed the Nerva program and found a noticeable difference in nausea (linked to IBS) symptoms. Nerva was recommended by my Doctor and I’m glad I gave it a go.

I have IBS and a stricture in my stomach. I have been operated on once to remove the pill camera that the hospital gave me to swallow that became stuck in the ileum. My pain has been going on for two and a half years now. The NHS have not yet offered me another operation to remove the stricture. Your app has literally saved my life and made me feel I have control of my own destiny. I use it for pain control too. Thank is simply not enough. Dawn Bright.

I have loved my Nerva sessions, I completely relax and feel so calm. I have had great improvement in my gastrointestinal health, I don’t ‘worry’ about how Fodmap foods might affect me. I still have some times where my bowel is a little aggravated, but in general my bowel health has improved hugely. I would recommend giving it a try, but you have to accept that it will work just by listening to the sessions, just enjoy the feeling of being so relaxed!

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.

What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?

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.
