Carmen Abercrombie, aka Coach Carmen, founder and CEO of Sharing The Bliss, is an extremely passionate women of God. That passion has led her to follow her bliss. That bliss was actually her life’s calling as a Christian Holistic Wellness and Life Transformation Coach. Coach Carmen’s holistic roots go back to her grandparents farm in St. George, South Carolina where her Holy Ghost-filled grandmother, Emma Jane Hudson used homemade herbal remedies to anoint and heal the sick in her small town.
Carmen’s life has been a roller coaster ride that begin in a Brooklyn, NY home, with loving parents (Coleman and Deborah Stevens), and 3 close siblings... to at 15, grieving the passing of her 41 year old mom... to winning the title of Miss Black Staten Island NY, and the Miss Black New York USA beauty pageant during college... to the death of her dad... to marrying her high school sweetheart... to performing with Roots Of Brazil Dance Company... to developing 2 businesses... to watching helplessly as 10 of her loved ones began losing their lives to illness.
Coach Carmen became drawn towards a holistic lifestyle at 16, after her first visit to a health food store. She searched for natural alternatives to end her lifelong battle with eczema, but never made the diet changes that were necessary. Carmen became a serious student of the Word in 1992 after becoming covenant partners with Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Joyce Meyer Ministries. She answered God’s calling to teach holistic wellness from a Christian perspective in 1996. In 2003 Carmen and her husband Anthony joined Faith Fellowship World Outreach Ministries in Sayerville, NJ.
Shortly thereafter, her only brother died from a rare lung condition at the age of 38. That same year she and her husband opened A Scentimental Journey (bath body beauty & bliss shop) and Spirit Spa (day spa) in Staten Island, New York to help divert her grief. Two years later her husband’s only brother passed away from a food allergy at 39. Stressful circumstances began to build, causing serious challenges in her marriage. In 2007 a major turning point occurred. Carmen became very ill from a blood disease. They closed the businesses so that she could focus on healing her body holistically, without drugs.
While she was home-bound Carmen asked God to not only reveal the secrets to reclaiming her health, but to give a her a step-by-step formula for transforming her mental state, and manifesting the life of her dreams. During the three years of her recovery Carmen began using the principles God gave her to write her book "Biblical Laws Of Attraction" (90 Day Dream Quest), and develop "Zoë Spirit" Practices. From there Sharing The Bliss (Christian Holistic Wellness & Life Transformations) coaching business was born, followed by the "28-Day Body & Soul Detox" program and Book, and the "Kingdom Cooking (Miracle Meals That Heal) Cookbook".
Carmen has created and sold perfumes and Aromatherapy products for her company A Scentimental Journey since the early nineties. She has closed out all but one of her products line, her best seller Balancing Blends Aromatherapy Collection. That collection is now called Restoreth My Soul and is available in a few exclusive health food stores, and on the Sharing The Bliss website.
