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 Im definitely buying the subscription. It really made a huge difference so far.” - Nerva member

Has helped significantly

I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this but I am so glad I did! IBS was severely unpairing my every day life before this app and I am now significantly better and can go about my life again and am no longer losing many nights sleep to stomach pain! I wanted to wait until I had completed the programme to review it and I would say it has definitely been worth it and I will be continuing to do the sessions occasionally going forward

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for letting us know about this! It's amazing to hear how much you've improved, it makes my day hearing stories like yours.

Well put together

The app is well done and the hypnotherapy person has a pleasant voice. It was worth a try but I don’t think it made any difference to me. I kept falling asleep during the sessions so probably missed a heap. I also didn’t do the deep breathing multiple times a day. Maybe I lacked commitment. I might try again in a few months. There were only about 6 scenarios that got repeated, so I got a bit bored. I would have been more bored if I’d stayed awake! I suspect I am not a good subject. It was worth the money to give it a try.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review, Nicola! We do encourage you to stay awake during your sessions, as you are more likely to absorb a higher percentage of the information. Completing your sessions sitting up-right and not too late at night can help with this. I also understand that the repetition may feel a little bit tedious at times, but I promise that it is an important part of the process. Thanks again :)

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
