Rebecca Zambito

Rebecca Zambito is a Nurse Practioner with 30 years in the Nursing field. Through the years she has worked in both public and private settings with diverse populations. Her array of experience ranges from preventative medicine and well-care to disease management to instruction and supervision of student nurses. The scope of Rebecca's knowledge and understanding of healthcare has helped to shape her belief in wellness through wholeness, a philosophy she shares with her husband, Salvatore.

Rebecca has found herself to be an ‘inadvertant pilgrim’ as her travels have drawn her to revered sites, places of miracle, and sites were holy relics are enshrined. This new magnetism has taken her on many an adventure and propelled her to co-create Bei Pellegrini or the Beautiful Pilgrims, which offers small, friendly group sojourns to revered and sacred sites around the world.. Walking a portion of the Camino de Compostela in 2003, to the burial place of St. James, was the other incentive to develop Bei Pellegrini. The powerful experience of walking a sacred trail, one traveled by kings, saints and peasants for the last 1100 years, was and is transformational and one she wishes to share with others.
