Dr. Ault continues to expand the therapeutic options for animals in the greater Boise area.  Her husband Mark (the piano man), her 8-year-old son Ian, his hamster "Chat", their German Shepherd "Bella", horse "Dancer", and cats "Max" and "Annabelle", also enjoy living in the Treasure Valley.

Leslie Mass, Assistant has been working with Dr. Ault and the clients and patients of Aulternatives since January of 2007.  She was raised by a chiropractor and her first job was working in her father's chiropractic office.  Alternative medicine has been a part of her life, since before her birth.  Leslie recognizes its value and is grateful to be a part of a practice that shares the benefits of alternative medicine with pets.  After all, our pets are a part of our family.

Leslie shares a home in Nampa with her cats "Panama" and "Red Chief" and their mouse "Henry".  She thoroughly enjoys living near her family in Oregon, Washington, and Utah.
