The healthcare landscape is evolving, and mind-body medicine is at the forefront.
For more than a decade, countless clinical trials have proven that IBS can be managed by targeting the mind with hypnotherapy. It’s not just a viable tool, it’s an ideal tool, with studies showing physiological symptom improvements that are comparable to the low FODMAP diet — as well as significant psychological symptom improvements.
In this course, you’ll learn how to facilitate gut-directed hypnotherapy for your patients, without needing to deliver hypnotherapy yourself.
If you've already begun referring Nerva, the course will help you refine the way you speak to your patients about the program to improve their adherence and grow your confidence as a Nerva facilitator.
Whether you’re a dietitian, nutritionist, naturopath, GP, GI, or any professional with an interest in gut health — this course will leave you well-equipped to include this groundbreaking science in your practice.
What you'll learn
You’ll begin by expanding your understanding of IBS as a condition, helping you better identify different IBS presentations.
We’ll guide you through history taking and the examination process.
We’ll also cover a history of hypnotherapy, how it’s used for IBS, and the research and protocols behind it.
Don’t worry — this isn’t IBS 101. We understand it’s likely you have considerable knowledge of this condition already, and this course is designed with your existing expertise in mind.
"What I enjoyed the most about the course was learning more about the IBS stress cycle and the fundamentals of hypnotherapy."
Aimee Schrank, Emotional Wellness & Mindset Coach at Diet Vs Disease
You’ll then learn more about Nerva, our leading digital gut-directed hypnotherapy program.
Nerva was created with world-leading expert Dr. Simone Peters (Monash University and Director of the Mind + Gut Clinic).
Our latest research shows that 85% of Nerva users see symptom improvement.
More than 150,000 patients have used the Nerva program — this course will enable you to facilitate Nerva for your own patients too.
Through three hours of video content, readings, and quizzes, you’ll learn why gut-directed hypnotherapy is a recommended treatment tool for IBS according to the 2021 ACG (American College of Gastroenterology)*.

"I really enjoyed the course and appreciated how well it was structured. I particularly liked listening to a real example of a gut-directed hypnotherapy session. As a clinician, it’s so important to understand what I am asking my patients to do and what Nerva entails."
