The Calm Gut: IBS Hypnotherapy

IBS relief through the gut-brain connection. The Calm Gut uses gut-directed hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis and CBT to ease symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, cramps, constipation, diarrhoea and urgency, and to calm the anxiety and stress that fuel flare-ups. Also suitable for people living with functional dyspepsia, reflux, GERD symptoms and other gut-brain disorders, and as support alongside IBD care.

Created by Jayne Corner, a psychotherapist and gut-directed hypnotherapist who has helped thousands of people with IBS since 2017, the app gives you 250+ audio sessions and structured programs, including the 28-Day Mind-Gut Reset.

Why the gut-brain connection matters
IBS is a disorder of gut-brain interaction. Stress, anxiety and a sensitised nervous system can turn up the volume on gut signals, so normal digestion feels painful and flare-ups keep coming back. Gut-directed hypnotherapy and CBT work on the gut-brain axis itself, helping to calm gut sensitivity rather than simply avoiding triggers. Research has found gut-directed hypnotherapy to be similarly effective to the low FODMAP diet for IBS*.

With The Calm Gut you can:
- Ease digestive symptoms including pain, bloating, cramps, constipation, diarrhoea and urgency
- Reduce gut anxiety, stress and flare-ups
- Overcome food anxiety and enjoy eating again
