About The Calm Gut: IBS Hypnotherapy
The Calm Gut app is an evidence-based, audio toolkit designed for long-term relief from IBS symptoms. Combining gut-directed hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, it helps 'fix' the miscommunication between your brain and gut. Developed by international psychotherapist Jayne Corner, who has supported thousands of IBS sufferers since 2017, the app combines leading psychological interventions (hypnotherapy & CBT) to reduce gut symptoms and improve quality of life. This approach has been found as successful for managing IBS as an elimination diet*. With over 250+ audio sessions and structured daily programs, the Calm Gut app helps you: - Reduce IBS symptoms like pain, bloating, constipation, or urgency - Lower anxiety and manage stress effectively - Rebuild trust and confidence in your body - Overcome food anxiety and reclaim the joy in eating - Sleep better, feel calmer, and get back to living your life What you get: Whether you struggle with IBS-C (constipation), IBS-D (diarrhoea), bloating, gut pain, or anxiety, the Calm Gut app offers targeted support. Listen to individual sessions or follow structured hypnosis and CBT programs for IBS designed to calm the mind, reduce anxiety and regulate the gut-brain connection. Suitable for newly diagnosed or long-time IBS sufferers, the app features: HYPNOSIS: Sessions designed to manage IBS symptoms, improve sleep, reduce stress & anxiety, calm a busy mind, and more. AFFIRMATIONS: Improve your physical and mental health by calming your digestive system, rebuilding trust in your body, and changing negative thought patterns.
