Meet the team

With a passion to help others see the best in themselves, Bonnie and her close friend Tara Pendergraft launched Bella Body in 2011. After working in the Medical Industry for many years, the Bella Body concept was intended to merge the cutting edge treatments they discovered with the relaxing and soothing spa atmosphere they each enjoyed. Since attending the University of Miami as a pre-med student with an avid interest in the advancements in science, over the years Bonnie has become fascinated watching as gold standard treatments are surpassed by even more superior options. This is the fresh outlook she brings to Bella Body, to constantly research the industry for the latest, safest treatments and make them available at a fair price for the benefit of her clients. Her goal for each individual who enters Bella Body is to embrace them as family, provide an exceptional experience during their visit and help them feel even more confident and comfortable than when they arrived. Bonnie has called Bucks County home for more than 30 years and loves spending cozy days with her husband, daughter and little dog (who thinks he’s a person).

Bonnie’s favorite treatment: The Hydrafacial MD, which deep cleanses & hydrates the skin; and PDO Threads, which instantly lifts and tightens the skin.

Bonnie’s favorite products: NeoCutis Micro Serum for skin tightening, Obagi Vitamin C 15% to help nourish the skin and Elta MD for the most luscious, hydrating sun protection.

An entrepreneur in every sense of the word, Tara’s love for health and wellness led her to create Bella Body Medical Spa along with her business partner and dear friend Bonnie Benedetto. Working in the Medical Industry opened her interests to the many amazing options available to help improve quality of life and she couldn’t wait to share this information with others. Tara is an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor and a certified Spartan SGX Coach.
