This app has really helped my IBS symptoms, well worth the investment!
Already loving and feeling so calm. Will try to never skip a day.
The daily readings have been very informative and the hypnotherapy sessions have felt ver calming and relaxing.
My bowel movements are already better, I need a discount to pay for the app; I cannot pay the full price
I’ve had stomach pains for years that has kept me from socializing frequently. It’s gone.
This app / program is worth the cost. I am feeling better and am very happy that I tried it
Every day I look forward to the reading and hypnotherapy session.
Easy to use. Very restful.
Only 1 week in and already seeing positive changes. So easy to do
Just completed day 5 and feeling very calm.
So far very good. Life is calmer. Bowel motions regular.
I’m enjoying my hypnotherapy sessions so far.
They have been great about following up with me to see how I’m doing with the program. I think it’s helping!
After 5 1/2 years, l feel normal. This has been a blessing after the fourth week. A definite change. Thank you
It wasn’t until week 4 that I realized the program was working. I feel so much better.

Hi. I have had IBS for approx 30 - 40 year. I was taking 6 to 8 gastro stop every day just to survive. I tried everything for Chinese herbal tea acupuncture to every little thing that I could try to fix it. I hated going out. My kids hated it. Everywhere I went I ended up in the toilet and that was if we made it to where ever it was we were going to. I said no to so many invitations. I remember being so bad that I felt like I just didn’t want to live like this any more. I would be better off dead. When I read about NERVA I was very skeptial. I saw the add and read it quite a few times and thought what’s the use nothing helps me. Then my daughter sent me the link. I thought maybe this is a sign I should try it. I didn’t have anything to lose but the IBS. I was feeling good results in a week or two. It has now been about 5 months. I have so many good days now. I cannot believe it. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it’s a miracle cure. But I am learning to relax. I go so many places now without panicking. I do have bad episodes now and then. But I do my relaxation exercises and it helps so so much. Like this morning. I was having a really bad morning. I kept doing my breathing exercises. I told my grandson don’t be surprised if we need to stop at a couple of toilet on the way (normally I would have taken gastro stop and cancelled going anywhere) but I didn’t. I went. I didn’t stop at any toilets on the way and I made it there. It was so so good. I don’t know how many times now I have gone shopping and not visited a toilet at all while I was there. I would recommend NERVA to anyone with IBS to give it a go. I know I’m not completely without IBS but I haven’t been this well for years I have been this relaxed in years either. I am still going to continue listening to the recordings for a little while more. I want to get better and better. Thank you NERVA.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS LIKE WHAT

Just starting on week 3 of listening and am already starting to feel better. Have had 4 days in a row without any real pain or issues except for the odd day here and there where I’ve had a bit of a flair up. Bowel motions are back to normal even with the flair ups tho a little more frequent. Hopefully by week six I’ll be feeling even better and have longer stints between flairs. I seriously would recommend this app to anyone who is suffering from ibs. It’s easy to listen to the sessions and only takes 15 minutes a day off your time. I do it as soon as i walk in the door from work as my down time before joining the family and find I’m much calmer and happier. I started to feel the results by week 2 so here’s to getting better and better. Update: Well I’ve finished the 6 weeks and am on the maintenance program now and have to say I’m sitting at 95-100% better. Sure i still get the odd day where i have a very mild flair but on the whole I’m pretty well cured if you can call IBS ever cured. I still listen every day when i get home as it’s now part of my wind down routine and i look forward to it for the relaxation aspect as well as the breathing exercises. One thing that could make this awesome app even better would be to include some hypnotherapy tracks in the maintenance section geared towards anxiety and stress as this can also be a big driver for IBS. I’ve downloaded mindset to listen to but 100% much prefer the female voice in Nerva and find she fully relaxes me and i enter a hypnotic state really quickly. Please please please add this into the maintenance section to make this the single best app available.
Using it for 4 days. So far so good. Noticing a definite reduction in stress.
