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.

- 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

I honestly feel better
Over the past two weeks I have been doing the Nerva self hypnosis program and am definitely noticing a difference. I don’t know how to explain it, I was trying to tell my husband this morning, I just feel better in myself. I am sleeping so much more soundly now than before as well. The course goes for 6 weeks so will be interesting to see how I feel at the end of it. I had been hesitant to purchase, as there are so many people trying to sell you stuff to help you feel better, claiming to have the miracle cure, and because you are desperate you buy into it. But after doing the trial first week for free and noticing the difference it was making, I decided to give it a go. Also the fact that Monash University is involved in the trials gave me confidence that it was not a scam.
Brilliant app
Tuned in everyday for the recommended timeframe - has made a huge difference to my symptoms - have suffered for years and tried everything - I now use it for maintenance. I highly recommend giving it a go if you’re willing to persevere.
NOT SURE YET
Seems good programme but I haven't relaxed completely yet. Need more time I guess.
Great content shame about the delivery
I was really excited about the potential of this app to provide some legitimate benefit to me but found much of the interaction really patronising and feeling like I’m constantly getting the hard sell. I may be an outlier but as much as wanted to buy into the hypnotherapy sessions I found the delivery of the narrator in terms of tone, speed and variable use of your / the just tended to wind me up and had the opposite effect to which it was intended. It would be great if there was more content that supported more personal meditation rather than directed hypnotherapy as would be something I would happily pay for
Relaxing
I am in the first week only so a little early to know my real thoughts, but it is relaxing and I hope it will prove helpful in time.
Cautiously Optimistic with Hope
I find the soothing, calm and melodic voice helps me with decreasing my anxiety levels, right from the moment she starts to speak. The feeling of calm and peace that envelops me remains with me after each session. I was doubtful about hypnotherapy being beneficial or an effective treatment for IBS, now I’m curious to see how this ends and if my symptoms improve at the end of this course.
Very disappointing.
This app made absolutely no difference to my IBS.
Review
Really great first week, enjoying it so far
Why subscription?
Imagine you bought an album by your favourite artist. And now you have to pay monthly or every three months or every year to continue listening to it. Sounds weird right? This is exactly how this app operates. It should be a one time purchase because the content remains the same, and there is only six weeks worth of it.
DO NOT GIVE THEM CARD DETAILS
Appauling! You have to provide details to complete a trial and then it notes you can cancel. Not true! Instead their cancellations options lead you in circles and it appears you are not subscribed anyway and then they take $219 out of your account with NO WARNING! No phone to contact them. DO NOT EVEN DO THE TRIAL!
Not worth it, not helpful and certainly a con on how they take money and cannot contact them! Via website or App no way to cancel! Trust me, after trying my bank too, they said it’s unlawful how they are taking money like this with no way to cancel or prevent a fee of subscription!
