Deanna is an entrepreneur with a passion for business and wellness, who in 2003, co-founded Licious Living, one of Canada’s first online, direct-to-door meal delivery services.

Deanna also provides consulting services to start-up and high-growth businesses focusing on strategic planning, team-building, marketing, operations, concept development, product development, online strategy and organizational structure.
