Meet Our Caring Team
Lynsey Mahlum, ANP-C, CHFN, Founder
Lynsey Mahlum is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with more than two decades of experience caring for patients across a variety of healthcare settings. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Humboldt State University before beginning her career in Cardiac Thoracic ICU and Internal Medicine. She later received her Master's degree as an Adult Nurse Practitioner from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and has since built an extensive background in primary care, chronic disease management, and functional medicine.
Throughout her career, Lynsey has held leadership roles, including managing one of Colorado's largest outpatient clinics and caring for geriatric patients in post-acute settings. While these experiences strengthened her clinical expertise, they also reinforced a belief that modern healthcare often leaves patients feeling rushed, overlooked, and unheard.
That belief inspired Lynsey to create Rooted Health Primary Care.
At Rooted Health, Lynsey's mission is simple: provide compassionate, personalized care that gets to the root cause of illness instead of simply treating symptoms. She takes time to truly listen, understand each patient's story, and develop individualized treatment plans that support long-term health and wellness. Here, you are never just another appointment on the schedule—you are a person who deserves to feel seen, heard, and cared for.
Lynsey is passionate about helping patients optimize their health through evidence-based primary care, preventive medicine, hormone optimization, weight management, and lifestyle-focused treatments that empower patients to take control of their well-being.
Outside the clinic, Lynsey enjoys spending time with her husband and her two children, staying active through strength training, running, and embracing the Colorado lifestyle she loves.
Courtney Mowery, RN

She is passionate about providing compassionate, personalized care and helping patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their healthcare journey. Courtney feels incredibly grateful to be in a career that allows her to care for others while also enjoying the people and adventures that mean the most to her.
Outside of work, Courtney’s greatest joy is her family. She and her husband are raising their two boys, and they love spending time together outdoors riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes, cheering on their boys at sporting events, and making memories as a family.
Shay Copelin, EMT-B, PBT
Shay brings 12 years of healthcare experience to Rooted Health, with a background in primary care and a wide range of clinical experience. She began her career as a phlebotomist and laboratory manager before earning her EMT license and IV certification. She has also been trained as a medical scribe and surgical assistant, giving her a well-rounded perspective on patient care.
Shay has a genuine passion for helping people reach their healthcare and wellness goals and believes in creating a supportive, personalized experience for every patient.
Outside of Rooted Health, Shay is a wife and mom to two rambunctious boys. She loves spending time with her family, going on adventures, photography, and getting lost in a good book.
