Description

Nerva is the easiest way to self-manage your IBS symptoms at home, without symptom tracking or diet change. Developed by experts, Nerva can help you learn to 'fix' the miscommunication between your gut and brain with a 6-week psychology-based program. Nerva uses a proven psychological approach to IBS: gut-directed hypnotherapy. Examined in a study at Monash University (creators of the low FODMAP diet), this approach was found to work just as well as their elimination diet for managing IBS*. How does it work? Most people with IBS have visceral hypersensitivity, which means their gut is overly sensitive to certain foods and mood triggers. Nerva can help you learn how to address this miscommunication through audio-based gut-directed hypnotherapy in just a few weeks. What you get: - An evidence-based hypnotherapy program designed by a world-leading expert to help you live well with IBS and learn to manage your symptoms - Interactive content with dozens of articles, guides & animations that help you learn to calm anxiety & stress - Intuitive streak tracking & to-do lists that keep you motivated and on-track - Tips & advice on how to enjoy a healthy gut and life - In-app chat support from real people “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 I would highly recommend giving it a go.” - Nerva member ”I have done it for 1 week and I'm definitely buying the subscription. It really made a huge difference so far.” - Nerva member *Peters, S.L. et al. (2016) “Randomised clinical trial: The efficacy of gut-directed hypnotherapy is similar to that of the low fodmap diet for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome,” Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 44(5), pp. 447–459.

    The sessions make me very relaxed and calm. The breathing sessions give me the most relaxed body I have felt in years. Thank you for working to provide this program to those of us who suffer from various medical issues. Will highly recommend Nerva to others.

    My doctor recommended this app to me, but I can't use it as I'm a lowly college student that can't afford to drop $200/year on an app. It looks very cool from what I can tell though.
  • Not for everyone

    Hypnotherapy is not effective for everyone, and unfortunately, I’m not susceptible to it. Some major issues with the app: 1)The voice in the sessions sounds exactly like Arwen from Lord of the Rings, which I found very distracting — there should be more voice options to choose from. 2)The recordings are clearly repeated from session to session, which breaks immersion because you can predict exactly what’s coming next. Each session should be recorded separately with varied scripts to keep it engaging. 3)Some sessions run up to 18 minutes long, which is excessive for me — other meditation apps offer shorter options, and this one should too. 4)Worst of all, the “Sense” sessions, where you’re told to notice objects, actually made me feel anxious rather than calm. Overall, not a good fit and not worth the subscription for my needs.
  • Waste of money

    This is just a bunch of recorded messages. Don’t waste your money.
  • Scammers

    If I could give negative stars to these scammers, I would. Once you sign up, they will keep charging your card after you cancel and refuse to refund the cash. Sleazy.
  • It’s pretty good

    There’s one thing I can’t stand about this app. It makes me avoid it but it seems every time I come back there is the initial beginning (Sense) where the facilitator has you look, hear and feel 3 things in your environment, then 2, then 1. THEN she has you imagine the same thing all over again. It makes me crazy. It’s a great app. I just can’t stand this aspect.
  • Excellent results

    The tools and practices offered in this app are truly helpful and really work. Give it a try, and fully commit to practicing the guided meditations daily — you will see results! You really have to do the work if you want to feel and sense the relief this app offers.
  • No more urgency

    I discovered this program about two years ago. It has changed my life. I started having problems with my gut about 10 years ago. I knew something was different. I hope your life changes too.
  • Charged annual fees after cancellation

    I found the app easy to use but was not helpful to me so I cancelled it before the renewal. Today I was charged for the renewal of the service that I cancelled a month before it was due to expire. Hopefully they will resolve this issue but beware
