lucinda Bibbs, MC, RCC

Lucinda Bibbs is a business owner, mother, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Breathwork and Cold Exposure Facilitator. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field and running her own practice, she has been dedicated to helping people achieve optimal well-being—mind, body, and spirit. 

In 2022, Lucinda merged her practice with South Okanagan Counselling, co-founding the organization with her colleague Stefanie to create one of the South Okanagan’s largest and most trusted group counselling practices. In recent years, witnessing both the power and the limitations of traditional talk therapy inspired her to expand her work beyond the cognitive realm into holistic approaches, including breathwork, mindfulness, and body-centered practices. Following this evolution, the practice was recently rebranded as New Ground Wellness to reflect

its expanded scope, now offering holistic health services and workplace wellness programs that support whole-person, workplace and community well-being. New Ground Wellness has offices in Penticton, Summerland, New Denver, Vancouver, and also provides online offerings, making its services widely accessible through Canada. 

Through her work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Breathwork, and Cold Exposure Facilitator with LightFORCE Academy, Lucinda supports clients both one-on-one and in group settings. Deeply embodied in her own practices and teachings, she brings lived experience to her work. Having navigated and overcome personal challenges, Lucinda has cultivated a deep sense of peace, balance, and purpose in her life. She models this possibility for the individuals and communities she serves. Lucinda is also a Workplace Wellness Learning & Development Coach and public speaker, offering wellness talks throughout her community to share knowledge, understanding, and elevate workplace mental health and community well-being. 

Lucinda is deeply committed to creating accessible, community-centered spaces for healing and growth. Her work reflects a core belief that true transformation happens when the whole person is engaged—mind, body, and spirit—and when people feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim their vitality. 

Rooted in her passion for connection and community, Lucinda also facilitates a Power Circle for Conscious Entrepreneurs, providing a supportive space for business owners to share their gifts and thrive in alignment with their values. In addition, she leads a weekly cold plunge group and parent–child movement sessions, creating opportunities for people to reconnect with 

themselves, each other, and the natural world.
