Anastasia Hernandez | End-of-Life Doula

For those navigating life’s sacred thresholds and exploring what truly matters.

Life brings each of us times when we are invited to pause and listen more deeply.

Moments when something within us knows we are standing at a threshold.

My work is devoted to accompanying people through these profound transitions.

Through end-of-life support, reflective experiences such as Where Your Treasure Lies, and spaces for contemplative conversation, I offer a calm and compassionate environment where people can reconnect with what matters most.

At the heart of this work is a simple intention: helping people meet life’s thresholds, and ultimately death, with greater peace, acceptance, and presence.

Over the years, I have come to understand that compassion is not something we do.

It is the grace that arises when we meet one another with presence, authenticity, and an open heart. — Anastasia Hernandez

About Anastasia

For more than two decades, Anastasia Hernandez has explored the profound questions that arise at the intersection of life, death, recovery, and spiritual transformation.

A certified end-of-life doula, Anastasia supports individuals and families as they approach the final chapter of life, helping create space for reflection, reconciliation, and peace.

She is also the creator of Where Your Treasure Lies, a reflective process that invites participants to explore their lives through a journey of their final moments. The experience often leads to profound clarity about what truly matters and how we wish to live the time that remains.

Anastasia’s perspective is shaped by her work as an end-of-life doula, nearly two decades of involvement in the international community of near-death experiencers, and her partnership with her husband Jose Hernandez, whose own near-death experience inspired their shared exploration of consciousness, recovery, and the mystery of life.

She lives in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia with her husband and their family, with deep gratitude for the opportunity to live and work on the unceded traditional territory of the beautiful Syilx Okanagan people.

Her work is rooted in deep compassion, contemplative presence, and reverence for the sacred nature of life’s most meaningful passages.

Contemplative Conversations

Sometimes what we need most is a quiet space where we can speak honestly about what is unfolding within our lives.

What questions or experiences in your life are asking to be witnessed right now?

These conversations offer a compassionate, attentive setting to explore life transitions, spiritual questions, grief, relationships, or moments of personal crossroads.

Where Your Treasure Lies

Described as “a modern-day death ritual for the Western mind,” this guided journey invites participants to travel through the arc of their lives. Arriving at the perspective of life’s final threshold to ask:

What is truly of value in my life?

Through reflection and guided inquiry, the experience helps people rediscover what has mattered most.
