Dr. Simone Peters is a psychophysiologist at Monash University and one of the leading researchers in the gut-brain connection.
Her research helped establish gut-directed hypnotherapy as an evidence-based approach for IBS, alongside the low-FODMAP diet, a strict elimination diet.
In a randomized controlled trial, gut-brain therapy was as effective as the low-FODMAP diet for managing gut symptoms²

Yes. In a randomized controlled trial, 81% of people saw significant improvements in symptom management, and 71% saw meaningful improvements in abdominal pain management.¹ Gut-brain therapies are recommended in the latest clinical guidelines, and Nerva is supported by 15+ published studies. It was developed with leading IBS researcher Dr Simone Peters at Monash University.
A disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) is a condition where the gut and brain stop communicating smoothly. The nerves in and around your gut become more sensitive, so normal digestive signals are felt far more strongly.
That's why your symptoms are real even when tests come back clear. Nothing is structurally damaged; the system is on high alert. IBS is one of the most common DGBIs, and your symptoms were never “all in your head.”
Nerva is an annual subscription: $199 USD for 12 months, with a 7-day free trial. A referral from your doctor or another healthcare practitioner brings it to $149.25, and the Patient Assistance Program can help if cost is a barrier.
