"For 3 years I have been sick and spent a lot of money on consultations with gastroenterologists, other doctors, tests, many types of medications (with terrible side effects) I also tried many treatments, nothing worked until I did Nerva. I wish every one with IBS knew about Nerva."

Over 14,000 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

IBS is classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), meaning it’s caused by a miscommunication between the gut and brain. This disrupted connection affects digestive function, often leading to symptoms like pain, constipation, and diarrhea.
When the gut and brain fail to communicate properly, the body can misinterpret normal digestive processes as pain or discomfort. This heightened sensitivity, known as visceral hypersensitivity, can make the gut more reactive to foods (i.e. FODMAPs), and stress.
