About kellie blinco

Owner of Feather & Sage Bloom and Feather & Sage Portrait.

For more than 20 years, I have been holding space for people to discover and express their authentic selves mainly through photography. 

My work has always been about seeing people deeply and creating environments where they feel safe enough to be truly seen.

Alongside this, my own healing journey has been a profound exploration of reconnection, self-discovery and transformation. 

Some of my most significant shifts came through my experiences in Peru with Ayahuasca, followed by years of personal work through Conscious Connected Breathwork and other embodied practices.

Prior to opening Feather & Sage Bloom, I spent more than six years working as an Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD) with St John Ambulance. Supporting people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives gave me a deep insight into the growing challenges surrounding mental health, stress, anxiety, addiction and nervous system dysregulation. 

It also highlighted the limitations of many conventional approaches and sparked a curiosity about what truly helps people heal, reconnect and thrive.

Through my own experiences, I discovered the profound impact that breathwork,  nervous system regulation and altered states of consciousness can have in supporting personal growth and wellbeing. These practices helped me navigate my own shadow work, reconnect with my body and learn to welcome the full spectrum of human emotion.

Today, I am a Trauma-Informed Sacred Breathwork Facilitator, Yoga Nidra Teacher and wellness practitioner with additional training in sound healing, energy work and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through Mind Medicine Australia. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering what is whole.

I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing and empowering spaces where people can reconnect with their inner wisdom, cultivate self-awareness and discover their own capacity for healing and transformation.

Alongside my work at Feather & Sage Bloom, I facilitate breathwork retreats in Sumba, Indonesia, and maintain trusted connections in Peru for those seeking authentic, legal and culturally respectful plant medicine experiences held by experienced facilitators and Shipibo healers.

Holding space for others as they reclaim their sovereignty, reconnect with themselves and remember their true nature is one of the greatest honours of my life.
