Here Hughes receives a monthly treatment at her South Hill home on June 21, 2021, from Warren, who is a registered nurse who conducts in-home treatments for clients who need relief. Hughes, a cancer survivor and former nurse herself, said she was previously advised against another foot surgery and likely would not have been able to recover; and after receiving a few mere months of non-invasive care from Warren, has regained more sensation in her feet.
