What does it actually mean to live well? For Meagan Daniell and the team at Vitality Wealth Management, that question sits at the centre of everything. Not as a tagline - as a genuine starting point for every client relationship. Because financial planning, done right, is about understanding what money is supposed to do for the life someone is trying to build. Founded by Meagan and united in 2022 with Darren Milne's decades-long practice, Vitality has grown into one of Vancouver's most thoughtful independent wealth management firms, serving incorporated business owners, professionals, and families across generations with advice that is comprehensive, coordinated, and deeply personal. The name says it all: life is more vivid when your future is secure.
Beyond the Numbers
Independent financial planning firms are not uncommon in Vancouver. What sets Vitality Wealth Management apart is how they define the role. Rather than offering advice in isolation, Vitality coordinates every piece of a client's financial picture into one cohesive, values-driven plan. Accounting advice, legal counsel, mortgage strategy, banking relationships - instead of leaving clients to piece together guidance from multiple professionals working in silos, Vitality quarterbacks all of it.
What makes that possible is a team built for exactly that kind of breadth. Meagan brings a background that spans finance and human behaviour - holding both the CFP® and CLU® designations alongside a degree in neuropsychology. That interdisciplinary perspective shapes how Vitality approaches every client relationship: understanding not just the numbers, but how people think, make decisions, and what truly drives them forward.
The result is a firm where financial strategies aren't imposed, they're built around who the client actually is.
“Building a future where wealth is understood and used with intention, reflecting what matters most to them today and creating opportunity for generations to come.” - Meagan Daniell

PARTNER
Independent Advice, Complete Vision
As with all successful firms, Vitality didn't arrive at its current form overnight. Meagan founded the firm with a clear belief: that financial planning works best when it is grounded in a client's values, not just their portfolio. In 2020, she and Darren Milne, who shared that same long-term vision, began exploring what a partnership could look like. It wasn't a decision made quickly. After nearly two years working alongside experts, they formally merged in 2022.
What united them was more than a business case. It was a shared intention to build something that would outlast them both - a firm with the depth, the team, and the continuity to serve clients not just today, but across generations. Vitality now has the honour of working with multiple generations of the same families, threading advice and trust from grandparents to parents to children. That depth of relationship builds a different kind of trust, one where clients don't just turn to Meagan and Darren for financial guidance, but for advice on family dynamics, legal referrals, and decisions that extend far beyond their finances.
As Rigorous With Data as With Wealth
Care and trust are the foundation of everything Vitality does. Clients share their most sensitive financial information and their long-term dreams - and that kind of openness requires a firm that takes every responsibility seriously.
For Meagan and her team, that responsibility extends beyond the advice itself. When clients choose a financial firm, they should be just as rigorous about how that firm protects their information as they are about how it manages their wealth. In a world where sensitive data moves across devices and platforms every day, proper IT security is part of what it means to be a truly trustworthy partner.
Financial firms are high-value targets in an increasingly tech-heavy world. As Vitality grew and moved into its own independent office space, Meagan knew that prevention wasn't just a priority, it was a value. A trusted referral led her to TAVANCA, and the partnership has brought exactly what she was looking for: formalized systems, structured processes, and the confidence of knowing their data is properly secured.
“I know if I need something, an email or a phone call is answered right away and the problem is resolved with high priority.” - Meagan Daniell
More to Come, More to Build
The road ahead for Vitality is one the team approaches with the same intentionality that has defined them from the start. With new designations in progress and a growing team, they are going deeper into the world of incorporated business owners, understanding the financial picture and the family legacy behind it.
