Jane Sibbett, perhaps best known for her role as Ross' first wife Carol on Friends or the Olsen twins' nemesis in It Takes Two, has slowly stepped away from Hollywood over the last decade of her career, taking on a new title: energy healer.
Now, in a new interview with People, she's opening up about the unexpected career pivot she's made in the interim thanks to her newfound "gift," which she's set to open up about in her forthcoming memoir.
While digging into the book, a mentor of hers suggested she "go back before the gift," which she said "has been here 10 years now," cultivated in the wake of her split from ex-husband Karl Fink. Before separating, the two had moved to Hawaii, following a spiritual calling that found her hosting "goddess circles for women" and eventually led to the launch of their Wild Aloha Studios production company and new roles as keynote speakers at the Big Island Film Festival.
Prior to breaking up, the two had "been producing documentaries for healers who don't call themselves healers," which morphed into her "producing these live events" for one in particular: Abdy Electriciteh.
"...it was a perfect synthesis of my belief in the gift of him [and] what he was doing and me coming off of Friends," she explained. And as she got past her shyness to introduce him in person at each event, she "started to feel the way that source energy or God energy was moving through [her].”
As folks complimented her stage presence and referred her to others who could use her help, she found herself diving deeper into the world of energy healing.
During one of Electriciteh's events, things really kicked off when “He tapped me on my third eye and I went down, I passed out into the state of bliss for about an hour.”
“There was no thought, there was no fear, there was just — you can't even say it, but on the other side of it, days later, it was bliss. Some people came up to me afterward and [said], ‘We see this light coming off of your hands,’ because while I was under [the healing trance], my hands started to dance,” she added, revealing the origin of her "dancing hands," which she said woke her up the very next morning.
“They were dancing above my head, and I began to just watch them with fascination, again, no fear, no thought, just watching as each digit was coming online. They were showing me how they could move independently without me.”
Sibbett never pursued any formal training in energy healing, adding that it was "never [something she] wanted" for herself. “I wasn't looking for it, I just wanted to go back to being an actor. That was much more fun.” But her experiences as an actor played a huge role in allowing her "gift" to take over. “When I work with the dancing hands, it's not me. It's source energy coming through me, and so I just feel nothing but bliss and joy and love when I am in this state," she said, explaining how her training as an actress allowed her to surrender completely to whatever story she was working on and which, in turn, has allowed her to completely embody the "gift," too.
While Sibbet hasn't appeared in any shows or features since 2021, it doesn't seem like she's completely written Hollywood off—a short called The Travelling Saleswoman appears as in pre-production on her IMDb.
