About Dr. Balluru
Hello!
I was born and raised in America’s Dairyland: Wisconsin. I started working on a farm at age 13 and have always enjoyed learning new things by doing. I consider myself a very creative type, and started off majoring in Art in college before eventually ending up as a psychology major. Art continues to be a hobby of mine to this day. I have lived throughout the United States in both rural areas and large urban cities, presently living in the Seattle area.
I have a strong love for animals and have always had dogs in my life. I enjoy working with horses as a part of my therapy work as well. I got married in March of 2022 and love to travel with my husband as we continue to discover new adventures together. In my spare time, I love to garden, craft, cook, visiting National Parks, play with my dogs, and listen to music.
