Outside of the hospital, Dr. Lea-Shouse enjoys gardening, reading, and walking on the beach with Brian, her husband, and her two dogs, Seka and Koa. At home she spends time with her two cats, Kiwi and Daphne. Her passion for animals stems from the fact that they cannot help themselves and she uses every opportunity she has at the hospital to do just that.
