"I was a bit skeptical at first but started seeing results after a couple of weeks of consistent use."
“For 3 years I have been sick and spent a lot of money on consultations with gastroenterologists, other doctors, tests, many types of medications (with terrible side effects) I also tried many treatments, nothing worked until I did Nerva. I wish every one with IBS knew about Nerva.”
“I had the most debilitating IBS for years and I went to doctor after doctor, finally I found a woman who was the top of her field and she recommended me this very app. It changed my life.”
“After being diagnosed with IBS, I was looking for anything that could help. The Nerva app was easy to use and compares to a lot of other solutions, was relatively cheap for the results I got from it. Highly recommend as one of the strategies to use to help get IBS symptoms under more control.”
Did you know IBS is now classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI)?
This means the root cause of IBS is a miscommunication between the gut and brain via the gut-brain axis.
When messages between the gut and brain are missed or misinterpreted, this can lead to gut pain, constipation, diarrhea, and other IBS symptoms.
Nerva uses evidence-based gut-directed hypnotherapy and CBT-GI, delivered via an app, to help you address the miscommunication between your gut and brain.
The program was designed by Dr Simone Peters, who ran a randomized controlled trial with Monash University that found her approach worked just as well as the Low FODMAP diet in helping you live well with IBS [1].

“As a healthcare professional, I find it helpful to be able to ‘prescribe’ focused time and attention for the ‘rest and digest’ nervous system, which ultimately helps clients to find balance in their busy lifestyles. Gut-directed hypnotherapy simply just makes sense – especially having the app to use at any time of day”
“Working as a dietitian in the gut space, I am frequently referring clients to the Nerva program. It is great to have a trusted and easily accessible option for clients to address the gut-brain axis as part of a well rounded treatment approach to IBS, and it allows me to then focus mainly on nutrition strategies during consult time. Clients often mention genuinely enjoying the program, and find the educational content helpful for a broader understanding of the link between the gut and brain and how this may be impacting their IBS symptoms.”
“While I’ve been aware of gut-directed hypnotherapy for many years, I was happy to stumble across the Nerva app as it’s so hard for patients to receive in-person therapy like this because it’s expensive, waiting lists are long, and often patients need help much quicker.”
