Start your journey to a calmer gut with a free 7-day trial. Begin with a structured program or explore 250+ sessions to ease gut symptoms and anxiety step by step.
IBS relief through the gut-brain connection. The Calm Gut uses gut-directed hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis and CBT to ease symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, cramps, constipation, diarrhoea and urgency, and to calm the anxiety and stress that fuel flare-ups. Also suitable for people living with functional dyspepsia, reflux, GERD symptoms and other gut-brain disorders, and as support alongside IBD care.
Created by Jayne Corner, a psychotherapist and gut-directed hypnotherapist who has helped thousands of people with IBS since 2017, the app gives you 250+ audio sessions and structured programs, including the 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset.
Why the gut-brain connection matters
IBS is a disorder of gut-brain interaction. Stress, anxiety and a sensitised nervous system can turn up the volume on gut signals, so normal digestion feels painful and flare-ups keep coming back. Gut-directed hypnotherapy and CBT work on the gut-brain axis itself, helping to calm gut sensitivity rather than simply avoiding triggers. Research has found gut-directed hypnotherapy to be similarly effective to the low FODMAP diet for IBS*.
With The Calm Gut you can:
- Ease digestive symptoms including pain, bloating, cramps, constipation, diarrhoea and urgency
- Reduce gut anxiety, stress and flare-ups
- Overcome food anxiety and enjoy eating again
- Rebuild trust and confidence in your body
- Sleep better and feel calmer day to day
Support for every type of IBS
Whether you have IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-M, and whether you are newly diagnosed or have lived with IBS for years, you'll find sessions for your symptoms.

I have a testimony I would like to share. I have struggled with IBS – C for more than 30 years. My journey included daily, moderate to severe abdominal pain, chronic nausea, chronic fatigue, depression, and many ER visits and hospitalizations. I started Jayne Corner’s, The calm gut hypnotherapy tradition, on August 29 of 2024. I’m 62 years old about to be 63. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner so I know the benefits of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. However I had not participated with it before. My life has changed forever and I feel like a normal healthy, human being! It has been two weeks and I feel the difference! My thoughts are now in alignment with my body’s sensations. There are not enough words for me to express my gratitude for this amazing app! It is well worth every single penny! I have tried so many different things. I know I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars. Jayne, I owe you my life! The only thing I can say is I wish I had found you sooner! If you suffer with IBS – C, I highly recommend The Calm Gut by Jayne Corner! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

for healing GI issues and related stress

This fantastic app has become an essential support in my healing from serious GI and related issues. The gut–brain axis is real, and I would not have made this level of progress without it. Traditional in-person psychotherapy alone can’t reach the depth or breadth of help this app provides — it’s like having a psychotherapist and GI expert available 24/7. If you’re dealing with certain GI issues and truly want to get better, this is a must-have complement to conventional medical care. It’s useful for other issues that cause stress and anxiety. The app’s interface is intuitive, and it uniquely offers both structure and flexibility in how you use its tools. Jayne is a rare expert — a psychotherapist deeply knowledgeable about the gut–brain axis and GI conditions — and her comforting voice makes the well-organized content easy to absorb. I could go on and on about how exceptional this app is.

I love this app, and always look forward to using it each day to support my health. I have had many digestive health challenges my whole life due to bowel resections, celiac disease and food allergies. I have found her hypnosis sessions so helpful for my health and reducing stress. Jayne has a calming voice and the music is beautiful. I love that I can create my own playlists, find my favorite hypnosis reels easily, and choose from so many different sessions, depending on what I need. Jayne is also very good at answering questions and helping with the app when needed. She really cares and wants to help us feel better. I recommend this app to my family, friends and clients all the time. It is so calming and helpful.
