If you’ve been living with IBS, you already know how unpredictable and exhausting it can feel — trying new diets, tracking symptoms, and hoping something finally works. What many people don’t realise is that the real key to lasting relief lies not in food, but in retraining the gut-brain connection.
That’s exactly what the 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset, inside The Calm Gut App, is designed to do. It’s a structured, evidence-based program that blends gut-directed hypnotherapy, CBT, breathing and visualisation into short, daily sessions that help calm your mind, rebalance your nervous system, and restore comfort to your digestive system.
Why Hypnosis and the Mind-Gut Connection Matter
Your gut and brain are in constant communication. When stress, worry, or past flare-ups train your nervous system to stay on high alert, the gut becomes hypersensitive — reacting to even normal sensations or harmless foods.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy has been clinically shown to reduce IBS symptoms in up to 70% of people, by calming this miscommunication. When combined with CBT and breath regulation, the results can be even more profound — helping you shift from simply managing symptoms to actually rewiring your gut-brain response.
Why a Structured Hypnosis Program Helps You Heal
Consistency is key when it comes to nervous-system change. The 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset guides you through a gentle, day-by-day process, so you don’t need to wonder what to do next.
Each day’s 10-minute session builds on the last — helping your body feel progressively safer and more balanced. Many users describe feeling calmer, sleeping better, and noticing their digestion becoming smoother by the second week.
“Wow! This session is worth its weight in gold!! Its sums up everything that helps me approach my digestion in a healthy constructive way. This programs is truly life changing.”
Inside the 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset
The program is divided into four themed weeks — each one supporting a different stage of mind-body healing.
Week 1: Calm the Mind, Soothe the Gut
Learn how your thoughts and emotions directly influence gut sensitivity. Through hypnosis and mindful breathing, you begin easing tension and retraining your body’s natural rest-and-digest response.
Week 2: Reconnect and Rebalance
As your body begins to relax, you’ll strengthen communication between mind and gut. Visualisations and breath cues help you sense subtle shifts inside — a growing awareness of calm movement and flow through your digestive system.
Week 3: Release Old Patterns
This week focuses on letting go — of fear, urgency, embarrassment, and the anxious vigilance that keeps symptoms alive. Hypnosis sessions guide you to form new, supportive associations with your body and your digestion.
“Excellent session. I really feel some hope now in terms of preventing accidents. Knowing that I can retrain gut sensitivity is a game changer for me.”
Week 4: Restore Confidence and Flow
By now, your gut and mind have begun to relearn trust. This stage helps reinforce lasting calm and confidence, supporting long-term ease and resilience. Many users find themselves naturally breathing deeper, feeling lighter, and experiencing fewer flare-ups.
How It Compares: The Calm Gut App vs. Nerva
You may have heard of Nerva, another gut-directed hypnotherapy app. Like Nerva, The Calm Gut is rooted in the same scientific principles — but it goes further, offering a more holistic and flexible experience.

“This app is so helpful. It helps me stay calm and relax. I get the best night sleep just listening to Jayne’s calming voice. I highly recommend this app who every wants a calming gut and to feel relaxed.”
Practitioner-Led, Evidence-Based
The program was developed by Jayne Corner, psychotherapist, gut-directed hypnotherapist and founder of The Calm Gut App. It draws on the same core methods used in clinical studies demonstrating that gut-directed hypnotherapy can ease IBS pain, bloating, and urgency by targeting the brain-gut axis directly.
Jayne’s approach blends evidence-based techniques with the compassion and insight that come from years of supporting clients living with IBS and anxiety. Her sessions combine science with the human touch — creating a uniquely safe, nurturing, and empowering experience.
“This app is thoughtfully designed, beautifully curated & filled with resources to actually heal your gut! I had zero expectations when I started & have been blown away by the immense positive change I’ve been able to achieve. Would & have recommended to anyone suffering from digestive problems.”
Beyond Symptom Relief
The 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping your body remember how to function in harmony. As your gut learns safety again, symptoms ease naturally. People often notice improvements in mood, energy, and confidence, alongside physical relief.
Over the course of the month, you’ll learn tools you can use for life — not just when symptoms flare. Whether you’re at home, travelling, or in a stressful situation, you’ll have the skills to bring your body back into balance.
“Jayne is a professional therapist and leading gut focused hypnotherapist I have worked with personally and the app is the result of her many years of helping many hundreds of people suffering from IBS and dysfunction of the gut that is rooted in a dysfunctional brain-body connection. The app is a daily companion and has helped me on my journey back to wellness. Highly recommended!”
