Relaxing

I’m still waiting to see improvement in IBS but am enjoying relaxation.

Easy & Helpful

Evidence-based approach to calming the nervous system and hypersensitivity in the gut. Excellent practical education accompanying each guided visualization.

My hypnotherapy.

I find the hypnotherapy sessions most relaxing and over time I have noticed a definite improvement in my IBS symptoms and my approach to the subject. J oan Wright

Evil

Beware. Evil spirits can come in. Happened to me. Avoid at all costs.

Good results, mixed feelings

I was initially reluctant to subscribe due to the expense, but a 30% reduction from my doctor’s referral and a preference for a drug-free treatment persuaded me to try it.
Was disappointed to find that it was actually only a 6 week program with 44 weeks of support. I started doing the sessions daily but then decreased my frequency to stretch out the program.
The support emails and reminders do not match your actual progress through the program, they mirror your initial stated commitment to it.
However, I did experience improvement from the very first session, and feel more in control due to an increased understanding of the mind-gut connection and some techniques for symptom management.
4/5 for the program itself.
2/5 for the administration of the program and not having the option to pay for the program then subscribe weekly for support.

Expensive AI - Cannot modify program pace

If you miss several days, program does not resume where you left off. Instead, it does a weekly check-in with a progression to the next week’s sessions. Requires that I either continually “reset” to Day 1 or backtrack to find where I left off. Reminders do not keep pace, either, congratulating me on accomplishing the weekly checklist— which I had not. Just paying for an expensive AI system.

Game changer

This program is very impressive. Real change, very quickly noticeably in 7 days to IBS that I’d had every day for 4 months +. Highly recommended

A Game Changer

I love Nerva. It has helped me be aware of how much stress I hold in my stomach. It also helps me rapidly accept where I am in my journey.

Thank you! In

Such a wonderful program,which is an absolute game changer. Would highly recommend to anyone who suffers from any of these health problems.

Exceptional App

Overall - AMAZING. This app is informative & energetically powerful. The meditation guide’s voice is clear, calm & hypnotic. A few of things, for me, need updating, and I only mention these b/c I love the app and I would love it to be even more user friendly:
1. The ability to just play the meditations whenever I wish, without having to scroll through the reading material again.
2. The meditation starts as soon as u press play so there’s no time to get comfy/readjust my position etc. so the ability to count the meditation down before it starts e.g. a 5 or 10 second delay.
3. The rewind button (circular shape) it’s great you can scroll it to any point. However when scrolling backwards, it needs to stop at the start of the track, you can pull it back beyond zero by accident, then it suddenly hits zero, & thinks you’ve reached the end of the meditation and then the session finishes & you can’t go back to it without scrolling through all the reading first.

Response from developer

Hi there, it's wonderful to hear how much the sessions and guidance resonated with you. Your detailed suggestions are truly appreciated and help highlight ways we can make the experience even smoother and more user-friendly. Wishing you all the best as you continue with the program!

Quite amazing!

I was incredulous but fortunately this app reversed a long term struggle with IBS.

Would recommend!

Delighted that something like this exists, already seeing the benefits

Voice

I love this ladies voice. It brings me comfort and peace just to hear her soft and rhythmic voice.

Disappearing content

This is a great program, but for the fact that since the latest upgrade we no longer have access to articles and breathing exercises. That the company can just remove features without adding any thing to replace is incredibly disappointing

Customer support

Reliable and easy communication with customer support, had to do a return on the yearly subscription because I no longer wanted to continue the program after my free trial and they helped me sought out any trouble with the payment situation! The app was great however i manage myself differently!

No choice of narrator

The narrator’s voice is not for me. With such an expensive app you need a choice to help you work better with the content. Very disappointing.

It makes a real difference!

I have severe IBS and am on an extremely limited low-FODMAP GF DF SF diet. Even with that, I have pain/stomach issues. I noticed a difference after about a month of the gut-directed hypnotherapy. It definitely works. It is calming and has helped me create a daily practice. I’m a long-term subscriber as I’ve found it keep me in tune with my gut and helps me manage any flare ups. I love their sessions!!

Subscription leak and a scam of a company

Was convinced by a dietitian to use this app, wasted money on a years subscription that was never used due to its poor integration to my use case but more importantly when I cancelled the surprise surprise automatic subscription renew. They charged me anyhow. I cannot reach them through mail and their Australian phone number goes direct to voice mail every time. I am now having to fight with my own bank to contest this charge. Stay away from this app and company.

Review after 1 week

It’s a very strange process. What I like the most now I’m on week 2 is the effect on mental health is phenomenal, more relaxed and calm, anger inside fades away after a long hard day. Loving it so far.
I have fallen asleep many times but you can go over a session at anytime.

Too Expensive

It’s great but had to stop. $200 a year is just too expensive for something like this. $40 a month, if you go that route, is crazy. Netflix is half the cost and this is just a few recordings versus all the media they make. If it had real person/ therapist support that would make it better, but it’s the same recordings (it’s been explained to me, and I get why it’s that way) most days. I really do not get where they’re pulling this $200 a year price from. They have this program where it’s free if you’re poor, but most people do not qualify and still don’t have $200 a year to spend on something like this. I am in this boat. Medical greed once again.
