Subhadramati was born in Scotland in 1964, and has practiced Buddhism since the 1980s. She worked between London and Dublin for many years, pursuing team-based ‘right-livelihood’ businesses (a restaurant and a gift shop), before moving full-time to work at the London Buddhist Centre, where she later became the women’s ‘mitra convenor’. She is part of the Tiratanaloka team, supporting women as they prepare for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Community.
