The Heidi Sullivan Award
The Heidi Sullivan Award honors writers who share Heidi's passion for exploring ideas, challenging conventional thinking, and making important knowledge accessible to others.
We believe that thoughtful writing has the power to inspire curiosity, broaden perspectives, and encourage a deeper understanding of health, healing, and the extraordinary intelligence of the human body.
Through this award, BRMI seeks to recognize original writing that informs, inspires, and contributes to a greater understanding of Bioregulatory Medicine, natural health, and the body's innate capacity for self-healing.
In loving memory of Heidi Sullivan, who passed away in January 2020, the Bioregulatory Medicine Institute established the Heidi Sullivan Award to celebrate her extraordinary life, talents, and contributions.
Heidi was truly one of a kind. A gifted writer, editor, translator, attorney, website developer, and videographer, she brought an astonishing range of talents to BRMI during its formative years. Yet one of her greatest gifts was her ability to take complex ideas and make them accessible, meaningful, and inspiring.
Brilliant yet humble, sophisticated yet down to earth, Heidi possessed a warmth and generosity of spirit that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her contributions to BRMI were immeasurable, and her legacy continues to inspire our work.

Continuing Heidi's Legacy
Heidi understood that knowledge becomes truly valuable when it is shared. She had an extraordinary ability to bring ideas to life through words, making even the most complex subjects understandable and engaging.
Through the Heidi Sullivan Award, we hope to encourage others to follow her example—to ask meaningful questions, explore new perspectives, and share discoveries that might otherwise go unnoticed.
