Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise Claria's hypnotherapy content and responsive support, especially when used with Nerva, while noting strong potential. Main drawbacks are billing concerns and difficulty contacting support, plus criticism of unfocused, non-customizable hypnosis content and a heavy emphasis on active work beyond listening. A few users prefer Nerva and find Claria lacking in structure or variety.
Pros
  • Hypnotherapy programs are very effective.
  • Customer service is phenomenal and goes out of their way to help users participate.
  • Bundle with Nerva is recommended; works well in combination with Nerva.
  • The app shows potential and has a lot of great ideas.
  • Users report personal growth and positive changes.
Cons
  • Billing practices: auto-renewal for a year-long subscription without clear opt-out.
  • Hypnosis content is often described as weak, unfocused, and not customized.
  • Difficulty contacting support / accessibility of help.
  • Onboarding lacks clarity about needing to do more than listen (active work, journaling).
  • For some users, the content can feel repetitive or not supportive.

2025-11-21 NY***** This company is underhanded. I tried a free trial subscription. There was no fine-print indicating that they’d automatically charge my card for a year-long subscription if I didn’t opt out. I emailed the company with a complaint and was ignored.

2025-04-21 Ma***** I was not only cured of IBS but taught self hypnosis in a very useful form by Nerva. I use it often for sleep and for modifying and correcting bodily functions such as physical pain. I find that Claria is inferior in all these attributes. “A few deep breaths and close your eyes” doesn’t induce a hypnotic state for me. The narrative is the same for days and weeks in a row. It has taught me about making choices which I appreciate, but will not continue with it.

2025-02-25 RD***** This is my second mindset app I’ve used. I found the first one, Nerva, to be focused and effective. This one cannot compare. It is weak on its hypnosis component and unfocused in its application. It doesn’t appear to be at all customized. It is a broad brush with too much content to be focused on the user’s needs. I think Mindaet needs to clean up this app.

2025-01-07 lr***** I’m doing both the Claria and Nerva programs and recommend the bundle. Might as well throw myself at this project because it takes just a little time every day and I feel better. Each program is a very different style, but complementary. Have some fun and learn!

2024-11-10 Lo***** This is the second Mindset app I’ve used (previously also used Nerva), and both of my experiences with their apps have been phenomenal. The hypnotherapy programs are very effective. And the customer service is phenomenal; they really go out of their way to help users participate in the program. Highly recommend!

2024-08-31 Mi***** This app has a lot of potential and a ton of great ideas. One thing that isn’t immediately clear that that you aren’t just supposed to listen to the hypnosis of the day. You have to work. They want you to write as part of working on the strengths they address. For the price of the app, they should provide a nice little booklet to write in or someplace to save your interactions with the material. Of course, you can go get a diary or notebook. That will take you partway where they want you to go. But, it needs to be made clear at the outset that users NEED TO WORK. Yapko typically endorses thoughtful action over insight or reflection. So, the audios - while good - need the support of insistence on user engagement.

2024-04-02 Sh***** I loved Nerva and was hoping to find a similar program for friends with anxiety or grief or aging. I tried CLARIA for several days and found it totally lacking. I would like to encourage the Nerva staff to create a program just like Nerva - same speaker, same everything - just omitting the gut info and substituting it with appreciate focus on mental health, anxiety, life's challenges, etc.

2024-03-09 Ce***** Nerva was so incredibly helpful for stress/digestive health and I was really hoping this would have a similar structure/ flow. I would look forward to Nerva like my mind/body craved it! This is just like a motivational speaker on recorded tracks. I’m sure the language is very intentional and I’ll continue to give this a go, but don’t find it super supportive just yet.
