“In my experience, I find that most of my patients are open to an intervention like Nerva because so many want to feel better right away.”

Dr. Shamistra Barathan

Integrative Health, GP, Mint Clinic

“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."

Miriam Mullard

Dietitian, MacMurray Centre

“Using Nerva helps my clients manage their anxiety more effectively which in turn has a positive effect on functional gut symptoms.”

Michael Smith

Naturopath, Planet Naturopath

“All I said [to one patient] was,  ‘Give Nerva a go’, and it made a massive difference.”

The Gut-Brain Connection

IBS is a disorder of the gut-brain interaction (DGBI). Exacerbated by altered communications along the gut-brain axis, foods high in FODMAPs and anxiety & stress can trigger a flare-up of gut symptoms.

Nerva helps patients address these miscommunications by regulating the signals sent between their brain and gut via the vagus nerve, breaking the stress-symptom cycle by calming their mind and body.

What is the Nerva program?

Nerva helps patients address the miscommunication between their gut & brain and self-manage their IBS symptoms.

Patients begin with six weeks of daily gut-directed hypnotherapy, psychoeducation, and breathing exercises. As they progress through the program, many patients report increased moments of calm, with their new knowledge empowering them to feel more in control of their IBS symptoms.

After the first six weeks, patients transition to the maintenance plan for ongoing post-program support to maintain and improve their results. After a 7-day trial, Nerva is billed annually as a 12-month subscription, which includes the six-week core program, ongoing maintenance plan, and unlimited app access.
