About

I’m Nora, Founder and CEO of Nervana, an AI-powered digital health company helping people with chronic symptoms improve their relationship with their symptoms. I started Nervana after my own years-long struggle with chronic back pain, GI issues, and insomnia. I saw countless specialists, tried multiple treatments, and spent thousands of dollars searching for answers, but nothing really stuck. With my background in biology and biotech, I kept looking for a scientific explanation. While earning my MS in Biotechnology and MBA at Harvard, I discovered research on the brain-body connection and learned how science-based mind-body approaches could help me recover. That experience inspired me to build Nervana to help people when they've tried everything under the sun for their symptoms.

Nervana - Retrain your nervous system. Break the chronic symptom loop.

Nervana helps people with chronic pain, brain fog, IBS, fatigue, and other persistent symptoms access research-backed mind-body treatment from their phone. Built from lived experience, the app combines bite-sized education, voice AI coaching, and personalized next steps to help break the cycles that can keep symptoms going.

We made our AI forget everything every 30 days. Users started sharing more.

When we first built Murror, we stored every journal entry forever. More data meant better emotional pattern detection, smarter insights, richer reflections.

Our AI kept getting better. Our users kept getting quieter.
