Over 6,000 healthcare professionals recommend Nerva to their patients to help manage IBS

Molly Warner

“As a healthcare professional, I find it helpful to be able to ‘prescribe’ focused time and attention for the ‘rest and digest’ nervous system, which ultimately helps clients to find balance in their busy lifestyles. Gut-directed hypnotherapy simply just makes sense – especially having the app to use at any time of day”

Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Satisfy Nutrition

Dr. Shamistra Barathan

"While I’ve been aware of gut-directed hypnotherapy for many years, I was happy to stumble across the Nerva app as it’s so hard for patients to receive in-person therapy like this because it’s expensive, waiting lists are long, and often patients need help much quicker.”

Integrative Health GP, Mint Holistic Healthcare Clinic

Amy Minogue

“Working as a dietitian in the gut space, I am frequently referring clients to the Nerva program. It is great to have a trusted and easily accessible option for clients to address the gut-brain axis as part of a well rounded treatment approach to IBS, and it allows me to then focus mainly on nutrition strategies during consult time. Clients often mention genuinely enjoying the program, and find the educational content helpful for a broader understanding of the link between the gut and brain and how this may be impacting their IBS symptoms.”

Dietitian and Nutritionist, AM Dietetics

How does Nerva work?

Nerva uses evidence-based hypnotherapy techniques, delivered via an app, to help you address 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 worked just as well as the Low FODMAP diet in helping you live well with IBS [2].

Why have over 200,000 people used Nerva to manage their IBS symptoms?

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

Hypnotherapy teaches you how to address this miscommunication between the gut and brain.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy has been shown to help with constipation, diarrhea and mixed IBS.

Studies have shown hypnotherapy provides long-lasting IBS management.

The root cause of IBS = The gut-brain axis

Take our free quiz to see if Nerva can work for you

Did you know IBS is now classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI)?

This means the root cause of IBS is a miscommunication between the gut and brain via the gut-brain axis.

When messages between the gut and brain are missed or misinterpreted, this can lead to gut pain, constipation, diarrhea, and other IBS symptoms.
