I’m a poet, spoken word artist, event producer, workshop facilitator and qualified mindfulness yoga teacher, based in Paisley, Scotland. I write and perform my own work at poetry events and festivals and my debut pamphlet, ‘Remembering Myself’ was published by Seahorse Publications in May 2024. I’m also the Makar for the Scottish Women’s National Team Poetry Society (SWNT) as part of the Hampden Collection. I set up my Poets in Paisley in 2021 and then Donna Matthew Creative in 2023, after beginning to produce events in my home town and at festivals, most recently, in partnership with Paisley Book Festival and Nutmeg Magazine. I specialise in combining poetry and the mindfulness practice of yoga to deliver special immersive writing workshop experiences. I also teach group and 1:1 yoga sessions, having qualified from the 200 hour yoga teacher training in April 2023.
