Nice tool but frustrating app

This is quite a lovely app but didn’t understand why towards the end of each month it would lock and not allow me access to my programme. But you still get charged the same. Wasn’t particularly impressed with the ‘help’ and ended up cancelling the subscription after I was unable to access the app but was still being charged.

Hi Tara, I'm really sorry to read this. If you're happy to, please contact me directly at jayne@thecalmandhappygut.com so I can look into what happened and make sure this is properly resolved for you ~ Jayne

So helpful!

I had used the other big named app that does this several years ago with a lot of success. Needing it again, I found they’d changed their pricing to over double its original price (taking monthly options away) so decided not to go back to them. I found this app and was leery, but it has been so helpful. Not set up the same but was equally helpful and for a reasonable price ( they allow monthly rates). Give them a try if you’re struggling!

Poorly implemented app and you can’t cancel your subscription

This is a poorly implemented app with lots of copy issues / bugs. Personally think competitors apps are worse.

You also can’t cancel the subscription through the app, so get locked into paying more.

I love this app

Jane is do knowledge and her voice is so soothing . I am instantly relax when I listen to one of her recordings . I highly recommend this app to anyone dealing with ibs Gerd and gastiris . Or any other gut issues you may have been dealing with and want relief from your pain .

Not very helpful

Wish I could say this worked better, but it just doesn’t for me. I purchased this as an alternative to an app that was recommended to me by my G.I. doctor and I feel like the other app had more variety in it’s programming.

Fantastic Resource

I worked with Jayne personally in her 1 on 1 program and have continued to use this wonderful app daily over the past year since to help cope with my IBS symptoms as well as additional physical and mental health struggles. She puts so much effort and care into the quality of these sessions and the organization of the material that it truly feels as if she is still a steady therapeutic presence in my life. For me personally, these sessions alone have not provided a “cure”, but they are an excellent tool to regularly pause, breathe, and reflect inward to bring stability and safety back into focus. Definitely worth it!

Healing Progress!

This quickly became my go-to mindfulness app for mornings and evenings. The hypnosis content is excellent. Really helping my IBS feedback loop and helping me relax. Great work on this!

Resource rich

I’ve only been using this for a week but it clearly has a lot of content which is easy to navigate. There’s hypnotherapy, CBT, ACT, affirmations and relaxation exercises. I’ve had SIBO, which my GP is not interested in addressing, so have had to find my own way. The gut/brain connection is central to my complaint and this has been by far the most promising and accessable source of help I’ve found, the hypnotherapy especially.

Made a difference for me

I have an upper GI issue - visceral hypersensitivity, not reflux - causing symptoms at bedtime that has made a mess of my overnight sleeping. Quality of life & ability to function plummets when you’re not sleeping well long term. The Calm Gut app has gently guided me to understand my mindset better, and not beat myself up over it. Result: not only sleeping better, but can handle daytime stress better. Big help!

Life changing

This app works and has changed my life. For years and years I’ve suffered with IBS and never found any way to cope with it. This app has given me the tools to understand and work with my body. Thank you so much Jayne!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for leaving a review — 'life changing' means the world to me! Years of suffering with IBS and finally finding something that works — that's exactly why I created this app. So glad you're feeling more at home in your body ~ Jayne x

Helps me in so many ways

I love Jayne’s app, particularly the hypnotherapy sessions. Her lovely, soothing voice and the way she walks one through everything is great and so calming. I began using it for IBS stuff but as that has improved with the help of the app, I still use it if I can’t sleep at night or feel anxious. More recently using the CBT, affirmations and breathing sessions. Thank you Jayne.

I’m so glad that the app has become a calming and therapeutic part of your routine. It’s wonderful to hear that the sessions and tools are helping you find your inner calm. Thank you for your review, I really appreciate your wonderful feedback ~ Jayne

really really helpful

This has transformed my life better than individual psychotherapy I must say and I get to pick what I feel I need each day or repeat those that are the most helpful, the lessons and all the meditations or hypnosis are also so helpful. I find it also very hard for any brain looks patterns in the mind body. Thank you thank you!!!!!!!

Incredible Tool to Calm your Guy and your Mind

The Calm and Happy Gut app was a game changer for me and my health journey. Jayne’s meditations and calm breathing exercises are my go to when I am feeling stress and am needing to calm my body down. I worked personally with Jayne and she has a gift. Her knowledge and gentle spirit really helped me turn the corner of a very complicated and life long gut issues. I would not be better without her help and the help of her app!

Best decision ever!

I think this is the best thing that has happened to me to help me with my IBS and nervous system! Absolutely love it!

Be careful

Be careful - this app renews on its own not through the App Store, so you won’t receive a notification. You have to cx your subscription inside the app itself. I wrote to the developers asking for a refund and got no response.

Early Days Use: Already a WINNER for me!

I've been wanting to help myself more around my IBS & have tried other apps which I won't name but they stopped short of what I now know I NEEDED! This app covers much more than "hypnotherapy" & I need the components around thinking and behavioural change. This is only my 3rd day & I'm already so impressed I've signed up for the annual rate. HIGHLY recommend the personable nature of Jayne and her wise words & facts to help me through. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m over the moon you’re finding so much value in the app and feeling supported already. It’s great to have you in the Calm Gut community, and I look forward to continuing to support you ~ Jayne x

This actually works 👌

Listening to the course along with a worksheet helps ingrain the methods and see things more clearly.
I’ve learned what IBS actually is in a Brain/Gut interaction problem and how foods are less of the problem.
I know see it for what it is, realise that focusing on symptoms just makes it worse and have strategies to cope with it. It’s the most progress I’ve made in years.

Thank you so much for sharing this — I’m genuinely thrilled for you. That shift in understanding the gut–brain connection, and learning new ways to respond rather than fear symptoms, can be incredibly powerful. I’m so glad the app is supporting you ~ Jayne x

Average

Your workbook should be available for use within your app. We live in a digital world and many people don’t have printers. Also many people prefer using their keyboard, smartphone or tablet instead of a pen or pencil. The Monash app has a working document in their app for the FODMAP elimination diet. So it can be done.

So helpful!

I have been using this to support my healing from SIBO and find it so helpful. The variety of topics and lengths of hypnotherapy are great and the affirmations help reset my brain. Grateful to have found this resource!
