Deepwaters Press is an independent publisher of practical guides and workbooks for body and mind.
Our books are for people who have been handed a diagnosis, or a difficult season, and very little practical help. Each one takes published evidence and turns it into something you can use the same day.
We publish in series. Each series has its own subject, its own look and its own readers. What they share is the standard below.
Every book names the evidence it rests on, so that you and the professionals who look after you can check it.
Plain words, clear layouts and the reasons behind the advice. We assume you are smart enough to understand the wiring.
A book is not a cure and not a substitute for your own doctor or therapist. We say what a book can do, and what it cannot.
Large-print food guides for people living with long-term conditions, starting with kidney disease. The advice follows the current clinical guidelines, every food figure is calculated from United States Department of Agriculture data, and the printables are free.
Visit The Measured PlateMost mental health advice is written for the "average" nervous system. It tells you to "just breathe," "think positive," or "choose happiness." For the intense mind, this is not just unhelpful—it is often insulting.
This series bridges the gap between clinical evidence (DBT, CBT, ACT, Polyvagal Theory) and the lived reality of the high-functioning, intense individual. No toxic positivity: we don't pretend the storm isn't there. We treat it with respect and teach you to navigate it.
