How does Nerva work?

Nerva uses clinically proven hypnotherapy techniques, delivered via an app, to help you 'fix' the miscommunication between your gut and brain. The program was designed by Dr Simone Peters, who ran a clinical trial with Monash University that found her approach was just as effective as the Low FODMAP diet for people with IBS, without requiring diet change while improving stress & anxiety.

Why try hypnotherapy for IBS?

Hypnotherapy targets the source of the problem: oversensitive nerves in the gut.  

Hypnotherapy retrains the gut-brain connection to reduce misfiring nerves reaching the brain.

Studies* have shown hypnotherapy provides long-lasting IBS symptom relief.

How does hypnotherapy really work?

How effective is hypnotherapy for IBS?

Hypnosis involves entering a state of absorbed attention where you become hyper-focused on specific stimuli (such as a feeling or a memory) led by suggestions from a hypnotherapist.
 
During hypnosis, suggestions bypass the critical mind allowing you to subconsciously fix the miscommunication between your gut and brain (how your brain and gut send and receive nerve impulses).

Advanced diagnostic tools have confirmed measurable changes in the body resulting from hypnosis suggestions.

Hypnosis has even been proven to be more effective than many other common IBS treatments.

A 2016 study found that gut-directed hypnotherapy could help improve IBS symptoms as much as the low FODMAP diet (and improve feelings of anxiety & depression).

"I was skeptical at first but decided to give the app a try because it seems that I tried pretty much everything else, and I must say it made a big difference for me. Most of my symptoms have disappeared or are down to a level that is totally manageable."

United States

"I’ve only just started the program and I’m already starting to see an improvement in my symptoms! I love the simplicity of the layout and also the weekly readings- I’m learning so much more about my IBS and how the brain affects the gut. Can’t wait to finish the program and be able to live my life again!"
